Alliance Laundry Systems CHM1772C manual Machine Anchoring, Direct-to-Finished-Floor Installation

Machine Anchoring

Before anchoring the machine, refer to Table 1 to determine the appropriate method of anchoring for the machine.

NOTE: Improper installation may void the warranty. Consult the manufacturer or distributor before varying from a procedure.

Direct-to-Finished-Floor Installation

Installing With Expansion Bolts for 2 Speed Models

NOTE: Expansion bolts are not suitable for variable-speed machine installations.

1.Verify the floor meets the requirements given in the Machine Foundation section.

2.Mounting surface should be level and machine must be properly grouted.

3.Use the base of the machine as a template by positioning the machine in the desired location and marking the pre-drilled mounting holes on the floor. Mounting Bolt templates are available through Alliance Laundry Systems.

4.Refer to Figure 9 and Table 4 to set the drill depth gauge.

5.Drill the holes to the set depth. Refer to Table 4.

6.Use compressed air or a squeeze bulb to clean out debris from each hole.

7.Fill half the hole depth with an industry-accepted adhesive anchoring system.

8.Insert expansion bolt until it reaches the bottom of the hole and 1.5 inches (38 mm) of the bolt extends above the surface.

9.Allow adhesive around bolt to cure properly.

NOTE: Select the proper size and strength anchor system. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and recommended cure times.

10.Position machine over anchoring bolts.

11.Raise and level the machine .5 inch (13 mm) off the floor on three points, using spacers such as nut fasteners.

12.Fill the space between the machine base and the floor with a good quality non-shrinking machinery grout to ensure a stable installation. Grout completely under all frame members.

Installation

13.Position washers and nuts on bolts and finger tighten nuts to machine base.

14.Before grout sets completely, make a drain opening in the grouting at the rear center of the machine with a stiff piece of wire. This opening should be approximately .5 inch (13 mm) wide to allow any surface water build-up under the base of the machine to drain away. Do not omit this step.

15.Allow machine grout to set, but not cure.

16.Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine to settle into the grout.

17.Tighten the nuts by even increments – one after the other using the specified torque – until all are tightened evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor. Refer to Table 4.
