Installing Anchors
1. Before installing anchor bolts, measure holes to
verify that they match bolt hole pattern in base of
frame.
2. Clean out anchor holes and floor around them.
3. Insert anchors and secure them per their
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Grouting and Setting Machine
After concrete has cured and anchor bolts are properly
set, proceed as follows:
1. Remove two 1/4-20 bolts that secure trim skirt
and remove skirt.
2. Remove wood skid by unscrewing 4 carriage
bolts holding it to bottom of machine frame.
3. Lift machine off skid with an appropriately sized
forklift or palette jack.
4. Carefully position machine over anchor bolts and
lower it into place – all anchor bolts should pass
through the frame holes easily.
5. Using 3 removable spacers, raise machine about
1/2 in. (12 mm) and level it both front to rear and
side-to-side. The machine should rest on 3 points
when this operation is completed.
6. Remove rear panel so inside is accessible for
grouting.
7. Mix enough machinery grout to fill all spaces
between machine base and floor. Grout
completely under all frame members. Force grout
under machine base until all voids are filled.
8. Before grout has set and become stiff, carefully
remove 3 spacers, allowing machine to settle into
wet grout.
9. When grout is fully hardened, place lock-washers
and nuts on anchor studs. Tighten nuts in even
increments using a diagonal pattern. This will
help insure equal tension at all anchor points.
NOTE: After machine has been in place and
operated for a day, retighten anchor bolts – some
types of grout shrink slightly and can leave
machine anchors loose.
Mounting Bolt Hole Locations
Use a sturdy template to guide hammer-drill into floor.
The bit will have a tendency to walk as it sinks in,
making your hole locations inaccurate. Take your time
drilling and keep holes as perfect as possible – the
more accurate they are, the easier it will be to sit the
machine in place. A heavy steel template/drill guide is
available from your distributor.
Make sure to follow manufacturer’s recommendation
for bit size for the particular anchors you are using.
The dimensions shown in Figures 13 through 15 are
patterns for various models.
NOTE: There are 2 rows of holes in each foot of
frame. When installing the machine it is only
necessary to use one row in each foot – it doesn’t
matter which row. If close mounting the machines
it will be more convenient to use the inside row on
each foot. However, if an anchor pulls out or is
damaged, simply drill another hole in the outside
row and insert a new anchor.
40 Pound Models
Be very careful when lifting and moving
machine. If machine falls, serious
personal injury or death may result.
