Installation
Machine Foundation
NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, tile floors,
above ground level, or over basements or crawl
spaces because of the high extract speed and the
G-forces exerted.
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all
foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation,
eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during
the extract cycle.
The floor and foundation must be minimum 4000 psi
reinforced concrete set firmly in clean, compacted fill
dirt.
The machine 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 machine on only four points.)
Grouting is required.
An elevated foundation must not exceed 8 inches
(203 mm).
Refer to Table 1 for foundation and anchoring
requirements.
