although not required, you may choose to mount

your new machine to the floor. Because this is an

optional step and floor materials may vary, floor

mounting hardware is not included. generally, you

can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount

it on machine mounts. Both options are described

below. Whichever option you choose, it is neces-

sary to level your machine with a precision level.

bolting to Concrete floors

lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor

studs (figure 7) are two popular methods for

anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-

gest you research the many options and methods

for mounting your machine and choose the best

that fits your specific application.

using Machine Mounts

using machine mounts, shown in figure 8, gives

the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-

tion. the large size of the foot pads distributes

the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the

floor.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per-

manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;

however, they will stick out of the floor,

which may cause a tripping hazard if you

decide to move your machine.

NOTICE

We strongly recommend securing your

machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the

power source. Consult with your electrician

to ensure compliance with local codes.
