Installation Instructions
Surface
These machines must be securely anchored on a solid,
flat reinforced concrete surface capable of
withstanding the weight of the machine and the
considerable forces generated during the spin/extract
cycle. Surface should be a high quality concrete
(minimum 3500 psi test strength) and at least 12 in.
(305 mm) thickness for all models. The surface should
be clean, flat and free of irregularities. The pad should
be 12 in. (305 mm) larger than the footprint of the
machine on all sides, beveling out towards the bottom
of the pad.
Anchors
The use of “Hilti” brand or equivalent expansion bolt,
chemical adhesive anchor or “J” bolts is recommended
for installing washer-extractors.
Mounting
On Metal Base
Installation on a raised metal base is not
recommended.
On Concrete
Refer to Grouting and Setting Machine section.
Mounting Bolt Installation
Requirements
Location
Plan the location of the machines. When placing
machines consider the following:
• The loading door is easily accessible to your
workers and does not interfere with other
equipment such as dryers or adjacent washers
(door swings open 180 degrees). Make sure that
the machine does not block emergency exits,
open doors, work traffic paths, etc.
• There is adequate clearance in front of the
machine for workers and laundry carts or to
remove the basket.
• There is clearance behind and above the machine
to remove the rear and top service panels to
safely perform periodic maintenance. Always
check local codes. Refer to Clearances section.
All machine dimensions are subject to manufacturing
tolerances and design revisions. All specifications are
subject to change without notice. If precise machine
dimensions are required for construction, consult the
manufacturer for verification.
All washer-extractors must be mounted using high
strength machinery anchor bolts in 3500 psi
(24000 N/m
2
) reinforced concrete. The concrete is to
be a minimum of 12 in. (305 mm) thick over 24 in.
(610 mm) of compacted fill dirt. The pad should be
12 in. (305 mm) larger than the footprint of the
machine on all sides, beveling out towards the bottom
of the pad.
• Always mount this machine on a solid,
stable ground floor.
• Never install a hard mount washer-
extractor on an above ground floor or
over a basement.
• Never use any material between the
machine and floor except grout. The use
of rubber pads, neoprene or other
materials will make the installation
unsafe, noisy and will void all
warranties.
