7.If grouting is not desired, position washers and locknuts on J-bolts and tighten the locknuts by even increments – one after the other – until all are tightened evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor. Refer to Figure 16.

8.If grouting is desired (or required by the condition of the mounting surface), proceed to step 11.

9.If the machine is a variable-speedmodel, the machine must be grouted. Proceed to step 11.

10.Raise and level the machine 1/2 inch (13 mm) off the floor on three points, using spacers such as nut fasteners.

11.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.

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

13.Before grout sets completely, make a drain opening in the rear of the machine 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.

14.Position washers and locknuts on J-bolts and fingertighten nuts to machine base.

15.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.

16.Balance Switch Adjustment: After mounting, reset balance switch to the correct gap switch setting. Refer to Table 1.

NOTE: Be sure to recheck the J-bolts 1 week after installation.
