Mechanical Installation (Continued)

Note: The 18-pound and 25-pound capacity freestanding washer-extractors do not require anchoring unless mandated by state or local codes.

Mounting Bolt Installation

The 18-pound and 25-pound capacity freestanding washer-extractors use 3/4-11 x 8 inch anchor bolts. The bolts should be embedded in a 3500 psi minimum reinforced concrete floor that is a minimum of 6 inches thick. Use the mounting bolt layouts in Figure 5. (The front of the washer-extractor is the bottom of each diagram.) See Figure 6 for detailed mounting bolt information.

After the concrete has cured, proceed as follows:

1.Place the machine adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move it by pushing on the sides.

2.Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding it to the bottom frame of the machine.

3.Carefully place the machine over the anchor bolts. Raise and level it 1/2 inch above the floor on three points, using spacers such as nut fasteners.

4.Fill the spaces between the machine base and floor with machinery grout. Grout completely under all frame members. Remove front and rear panels to gain access to all frame members. Force grout under the machine base until all voids are filled.

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

6.Position washers and locknuts on machinery anchor bolts and fingertighten to machine base.

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

8.Remove the four red transport brackets which secure the moving components of the machine during shipping. See Figure 7 for typical transport bracket locations on 18-pound and 25-pound capacity freestanding models.
