Machine Foundation Requirements

A 6 inch (153 mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed

and M-speed models) or a 12 inch (305 mm) (for all

other models) thickness of 3500 psi reinforced

concrete foundation is absolutely necessary because of

the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.
When designing floors or foundations, refer to Table 2

for Floor Load Data for all model sizes. If the

foundation requirements have been met, proceed to

Mounting Bolt Installation Requirements section.

NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, above

ground level, or over basements. Installation must

be “slab on grade” or equal.

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all

foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation,

eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during

extract.

For new foundations a bolt-locator fixture or rebar

frame is available and a preferred option. This rigid

welded assembly made of reinforcing rod and

mounting bolts is designed to be embedded in

concrete. Refer to Figure 7.
The washer-extractor must be anchored to a smooth

level surface so that the entire base of the machine is

supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not

support the washer-extractor on only four points.)

Make sure to grout machine. Refer to Figure 6 and

Figure 7.

Ensure that the machine is installed on a

floor that is level to within 3/8 inch when

the machine is grouted. Also ensure that

the floor is of sufficient strength and that

the recommended clearances for

inspection and maintenance are provided.

Never allow the inspection and

maintenance space to be blocked.
