EARTHFLEX™ GROUND-MOUNT DELINEATORS

TD5500 SERIES

To assemble post/hinge and anchor:

1. Earthflex

HDPE post comes attached to a reboundable Boomerang

hinge using two (2) round head bolts (¼”-20 x 2-¼“) through the post with

a self-locking T-Nut tightened to secure the post and hinge (no assembly

required).

2. To mount HDPE delineator post with reboundable hinge simply insert into

steel anchor (driven in-place into soil) and align the tab holes on hinge

with locking tabs on ground anchor. No additional fastening hardware is

required.

3. When the post is no longer serviceable, it can be removed and a new

post can be secured to the existing reboundable hinge attached to the

anchor by securing the post to the existing hinge. If the reboundable

hinge requires replacement, it can be manually inserted into the existing

in-ground anchor without fasteners, additional digging, or driving another

soil anchor.

Please note the following prior to installation:

1. Earthflex

post and hinge come standard with an 18” closed-ended,

drivable, galvanized steel soil anchor.

2. Earthflex

anchors can be installed manually or with power equipment

utilizing Three D Traffic Works drive tool accessories.

3. The EF536 Manual Post Driver is designed with a steel shaft that slides

within the post driver. You simply drive the galvanized steel anchor

directly into the soil, eliminating the need for pilot holes in most

circumstances. A self-cleaning pilot hole tool is available for use in

compacted or adverse soil conditions.

4. When using power equipment, the appropriate drive shank for each brand

and model of jack hammer must be used in conjunction with the Earthflex

Drive Collar that fits into anchor.

5. Earthflex

ground-mount delineators are to be spaced evenly according

to specifications required by the instructions or manuals for each

individual user, contractor, city, state or federal agency.

To install unit: 1. With the EF536 Post Driver laying on the ground surface, slip the Earthflex™ soil anchor on the lower section in contact with driver. Prior to raising the anchor and tool to a vertical position, be certain to position anchor so that locking tabs will be perpendicular to the flow of traffic. 2. When using power tools, be certain to keep the anchor vertically plumb while driving it into the ground to insure that the installed post will be vertically straight.
