Alliance Laundry Systems PHM802N, PHM798N manual Machine Foundation Requirements

Specifications and Dimensions

Machine Foundation Requirements

A 6 inch (153 mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed and M-speed models) or a 12 inch (305 mm) (for all other models) thickness of 3500 psi reinforced concrete foundation is absolutely necessary because of the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.

When designing floors or foundations, refer to Table 3 for Floor Load Data for all model sizes. If the foundation requirements have been met, proceed to Mounting Bolt Installation Requirements section.

NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, above ground level, or over basements. Installation must be “slab on grade” or equal.

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

CAUTION

Ensure that the machine is installed on a floor that is level to within 3/8 inch when the machine is grouted. Also ensure that the floor is of sufficient strength and that the recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.

W760

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be bolted to an uncovered concrete floor.

W743

For new foundations a bolt-locator fixture or rebar frame is available and a preferred option. This rigid welded assembly made of reinforcing rod and mounting bolts is designed to be embedded in concrete. Refer to Figure 11.

The washer-extractor 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 washer-extractor on only four points.)

Make sure to grout machine. Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11.
