Alliance Laundry Systems PHM798N, PHM802N manual Machine Mounting and Grouting

Machine Mounting and Grouting

After the concrete has cured, proceed as follows:

1.Place the washer-extractor adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move the machine by pushing on the sides. Always insert a pry bar or other device under the bottom frame of the machine to move it.

2.Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding the skid to the bottom frame of the washer-extractor.

3.Place the washer-extractor carefully over the anchor bolts. Never attempt to lift the machine by the door handle or by pushing on the cover panels.

4.Raise and level the washer-extractor 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) off the floor on three points, using spacers such as nut fasteners.

5.Fill the space between the washer-extractor base and the floor with a good quality non-shrinking machinery precision grout to ensure a stable installation. Grout completely under all frame members. (Remove front panel and back panel to gain access to all frame members.) Refer to Figure 17. Force grout under machine base until all voids are filled.

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

Specifications and Dimensions

7.Before grout sets completely, make a drain opening in the rear of the washer-extractor grouting with a stiff piece of wire; this opening should be approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) wide to allow any surface water build-up under the base of the machine to drain away. Do not omit this step.

8.Position the mounting bolt lockwashers and locknuts on the anchor bolts and finger-tighten locknuts to machine base.

9.After the grout is completely dry, tighten the locknuts by even increments – one after the other – until all are tightened evenly and the washer- extractor is fastened securely to the floor.

10.After installing bolts using a rebar frame, torque 5/8 inch bolts (35 model) to 90 ft. lb. and torque 3/4 inch bolts (60-150 models) to 160 ft. lb.

When using bolts not specified by Alliance Laundry Systems, refer to the specifications provided with the bolt.

NOTE: Check and retighten the locknuts after five to ten days of operation and every month thereafter.
