3. Refer to Figure 10 and Table 4 to set the drill

depth gauge.

4. Drill the holes to the set depth. Refer to Table 4.
5. Use compressed air or a squeeze bulb to remove

debris from each hole.

6. Fill half the hole depth with an industry accepted

adhesive anchoring system.

7. Insert bolt until it reaches the bottom of the hole

and 1.5 inches (38 mm) of the bolt extends above

the base frame. Refer to Figure 11.

8. Allow adhesive around the bolt to cure properly.
9. Position base frame over anchoring bolts.

10. Raise and level the base frame .5 inch (13 mm)

off the floor on three points, using spacers such

as nut fasteners.

11. Fill the space between the base frame and the

floor with a good quality non-shrinking

machinery grout to ensure a stable installation.

Grout completely under all frame members.

12. Position washers and locknuts on bolts and finger

tighten nuts to base frame.

13. Before grout sets completely, make a drain

opening in the grouting at the rear of the base

frame with a stiff piece of wire. This opening

should be approximately .5 inch (13 mm) wide to

allow any surface water build-up under the base

of the machine to drain away. This drain opening

must not be near frame mounting bolts. Do not

omit this step.

14. Allow machine grout to set, but not cure.
15. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the base

frame to settle into the wet grout.

16. Tighten nuts by even increments – one after the

other using the specified torque – until all are

tightened evenly and the base frame is fastened

securely to the floor. Refer to Table 4.

17. Position the machine over the base frame, aligning

the mounting holes on the machine with the

corresponding holes on the frame.

18. Install a bolt, lockwasher, and nut in each

mounting hole. Use 5/8 inch – 18 x 2.00 grade 5

mounting bolts with 5/8 inch – 18 grade B nuts

and 5/8 inch lockwashers.

19. Hand tighten each nut.
20. Tighten the two rear nuts two turns.
21. Tighten the two front nuts two turns.
22. On 30, 40 and 60 models, tighten the two middle

nuts firmly.

23. Tighten the two front nuts firmly; tighten the two

rear nuts firmly.

NOTE: Check and retighten the locknuts after five

to ten days of operation and every three months

thereafter.

NOTE: For 80 and 125 pound models, a

bolt-locator fixture or rebar frame is available as

an option. This is designed to be embedded in

concrete. Refer to Figure 13.

IMPORTANT: Do not install any 80 or 125

machines on an elevated base frame.
