Installation

Machine Foundation

NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, tile floors, above ground level, or over basements or crawl spaces because of the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation, eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during the extract cycle.

The floor and foundation must be minimum 4000 psi reinforced concrete set firmly in clean, compacted fill dirt.

The machine must be anchored to a smooth, level surface so that the entire base of the machine is supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not support the machine on only four points.)

Grouting is required.

An elevated foundation must not exceed 8 inches (203 mm).

Refer to Table 1 for foundation and anchoring requirements.
