Stinger Spike Tire Deflation System Inspection and Maintenance
- After the road barrier has been opened and adjusted, all necessary checks and repairs, if needed, must be carried out before use.
- The road barrier should be fully opened and checked for missing, loose, or damaged studs. All loose studs should be tightened, and any missing ones replaced. Loose connecting screws should be tightened.
- If you are the personnel who installed the road barrier, remember that you are responsible for the road barrier after use.
- After use, the system should be immediately removed from the road, folded, and placed in its carrying case.
- Damaged sections and missing studs should be replaced before the next use.
- If one or more of the parts where the studs are attached are damaged, this does not mean that the road barrier is unusable or needs to be sent for servicing. Only the damaged sections are removed, and the remaining parts are reassembled; even though it is shortened, the rest of the road barrier can be used until the damaged section is repaired.
- Using petroleum-based cleaners on the road barrier and its case will cause damage to the plastic parts.
- It is important to check the road barrier before folding it. Any grass, stones, or other debris that has become lodged between the road barriers should be removed.
- This will allow them to be folded more easily. The road barrier should be opened and inspected once a year.
