6 Dok-Guardian HD Safety Barrier Installation/Owner's Manual Rite-Hite INSTALLATION Mounting Method Anchoring to Concrete* The Dok-Guardian Heavy Duty Safety Barrier requires a minimum concrete thickness of 6.75in [170mm] to provide proper unit support. 1. Tighten all rails and brackets securely before anchoring the system to concrete. 2. Position the safety barrier in its intended position. Use the base plates of the warden as a template and drill (6) 3/4 in diameter holes a minimum of 8 in [203.2 mm] deep (or completely through the concrete). Using a drill bit that is too: small or excessively worn will make it very hard to install the anchor. large will reduce the anchors load capacity. 3. Use compressed air to clean the drilled hole so you can tighten the anchor completely. 4. Use a Impact wrench and 1-1/8 socket to install the (provided) 3/4 in x 7 in Titan HD concrete anchors through base plate and into the holes drilled into the concrete. 5. Securely tighten all anchors to 120 ft-lbs with the impact wrench. Make sure the hex washer head is in contact with the base plate. 6. Repeat this process for all of the concrete anchors on the warden. *Image credits: Titan HD Concrete Anchor instructions (strongtie.com) 6 Publication: AMEN

Pull the curtain across the door opening and secure the latch weldment on the receiver warden. 3. Pull the curtain all the way out until the round pipe engages the inner storage support. Measure the distance between the square bar and the latch weldment. 4. If the distance is less than 3-1/4in [82.5mm], the installation is complete. 5. If the distance is greater than 3-1/4in [82.5mm], the latch weldment must be moved. a. Walk the curtain back into its stored position. b. Loosen the 3 bolts securing the latch weldment to receiver warden. c. Move the weldment away from the storage warden the desired number of holes. d. Reconnect the latch weldment to receiver warden. B If the top of the curtain sags or seems to be loose: 1. Angle the curtain attachment on the roller so the top of the curtain is pulled slightly tighter. With the curtain pulled out and engaged, unroll the rest of the curtain until the velcro is accessible. 2. Lock the roller with a screwdriver, by inserting the screwdriver through the hole in the top of the storage support (A) and one of the slots (B) in the roller tube concurrently. 3. Remove the curtain from the roller and angle the curtain so the top of the curtain is slightly tighter. Hold the roller while removing the screwdriver. Let the curtain roll up slowly. 4.
