Machine Mounting and Grouting

After the concrete has cured, proceed as follows:

1. Place the washer-extractor adjacent to the

foundation. Do not attempt to move the machine

by pushing on the sides. Always insert a pry bar

or other device under the bottom frame of the

machine to move it.

2. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the

carriage bolts holding the skid to the bottom

frame of the washer-extractor.

3. Place the washer-extractor carefully over the

anchor bolts. Never attempt to lift the machine by

the door handle or by pushing on the cover

panels.

4. Raise and level the washer-extractor 0.5 inch

(1.27 cm) off the floor on three points, using

spacers such as nut fasteners.

5. Fill the space between the washer-extractor base

and the floor with a good quality non-shrinking

machinery precision grout to ensure a stable

installation. Grout completely under all frame

members. (Remove front panel and back panel to

gain access to all frame members.) Refer to

Figure 13. Force grout under machine base until

all voids are filled.

6. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the

machine to settle into the wet grout.

7. Before grout sets completely, make a drain

opening in the rear of the washer-extractor

grouting with a stiff piece of wire; this opening

should be approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) wide

to allow any surface water build-up under the

base of the machine to drain away. Do not omit

this step.

8. Position the mounting bolt lockwashers and

locknuts on the anchor bolts and finger-tighten

locknuts to machine base.

9. After the grout is completely dry, tighten the

locknuts by even increments – one after the other –

until all are tightened evenly and the washer-

extractor is fastened securely to the floor.

10. After installing bolts using a rebar frame, torque

5/8 inch bolts (35 model) to 90 ft. lb. and torque

3/4 inch bolts (60-150 models) to 160 ft. lb.

When using bolts not specified by Alliance

Laundry Systems, refer to the specifications

provided with the bolt.

NOTE: Check and retighten the locknuts after five

to ten days of operation and every month

thereafter.
