INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building,
electrical, plumbing and other codes in effect in the area.
WARNING - THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
ARE FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID INJURY
AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING
OTHER THAN THAT CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, UNLESS QUALIFIED.
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS
This machine is designed for use on or over bare concrete floor - not to be used above
combustible flooring. The washer must be securely bolted and grouted to a substantial concrete
floor, or mounted and grouted upon a suitable base that is securely bolted and grouted to a
substantial concrete floor. CARE MUST BE STRESSED WITH ALL FOUNDATION WORK
TO INSURE A STABLE UNIT INSTALLATION, ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES OF
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. All installations must be made on sound concrete floors, 8 inches
(203mm) or thicker. Anchor bolts or expansion anchors must be of a quality grade and a
minimum of ¾ inch (19 mm) diameter.
MOUNTING
A concrete pedestal or steel-mounting base that elevates the machine approximately 6 inches
(152 mm) above the floor level is recommended to provide easy access to the loading door.
Allow a minimum of 24 inches (610mm) of clearance behind the rear of the machine, to provide
access for motor removal. Refer to Fig. 1-1 and 1-2 for machine bolt-down dimensions.
If an elevated concrete pedestal is desired, it should be embedded into the existing floor. Anchor
bolts should be 3/4" x 8" (19 mm x 200 mm), grade 8 or better, headed by a 4 inch (10 cm)
square fish plate and should protrude 2 1/2” (64 mm) above the finished surface of the pedestal.
EXPANSION ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONCRETE
PEDESTALS, BECAUSE THE ANCHORS ARE TOO CLOSE TO AN EDGE, CAUSING IT
TO BREAK OUT. (See Fig. 1-1 and 1-3.)
