If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least 6 inches (153 mm) thick over a solid foundation, cut a hole approximately 5 feet (1.52 m) square through the existing floor. Excavate to a depth of 6 inches

(153 mm) from the top of the existing floor. Produce a pyramid-shaped hole by excavating the bottom of the hole to a width 6 inches (153 mm) wider on each side than the width of the top of the hole. Fill with 6 inches (153 mm) of reinforced concrete. Embed the mounting bolts or base frame as the concrete is poured. Ensure that the bolt threads extend 2 inches (51 mm) above floor level.

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 1/2 inch (13 mm) 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 grout to ensure a stable installation.

Grout completely under all frame members. (Remove front panel and metal back panel to gain access to all frame members.) Refer to Figures 10 through 13. Force grout under machine base until all voids are filled.

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

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 (13 mm) 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 washers and locknuts on the anchor bolts and fingertighten locknuts to machine base.

Specifications and Dimensions

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.

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

10.Check vibration safety switch and gap setting and switch function.
