Product & Installation: ABSORB
®
350 Non-Redirective Gating Crash Cushion
Install Energy
Absorbing Elements
There are two types of Energy Absorbing
Elements and each type has a forward and
rearward end. The forward end is considered the
end that faces the Nose Piece. The rearward end
faces the Concrete Barrier wall. The two types of
elements are identified by the number of vertical
indentations along each side in relation to the
front and rear hinges. See a picture of the two
different elements on page 6 and the picture of
Step 2 on page 13.
When the ABSORB
®
350 system is assembled,
it is important to ensure that the two types
of elements are
always assembled in an
alternating fashion
as shown in the System
Configuration Diagram on Page 11. Thus, when
you look down either side of the assembled
system, you should see an alternating pattern of
vertical indentations (i.e. two, one, two, one, etc.).
Step 1
Install the first Energy Absorbing Element (Type
“A”) to the Hinge Plate Adapter by inserting the
pin on each side of the hinge. Make sure that the
harness clip on the pin is installed in the small
hole located on the hinge next to the pin.
