Mechanical Installation (Continued)
Note: The 18-pound and 25-pound capacity
freestanding washer-extractors do not require
anchoring unless mandated by state or
local codes.
Mounting Bolt Installation
The 18-pound and 25-pound capacity
freestanding washer-extractors use 3/4-11 x
8 inch anchor bolts. The bolts should be
embedded in a 3500 psi minimum reinforced
concrete floor that is a minimum of 6 inches
thick. Use the mounting bolt layouts in
Figure 5. (The front of the washer-extractor is
the bottom of each diagram.) See Figure 6 for
detailed mounting bolt information.

After the concrete has cured, proceed
as follows:
1. Place the machine adjacent to the
foundation. Do not attempt to move
it by pushing on the sides.
2. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing
the carriage bolts holding it to the bottom
frame of the machine.
3. Carefully place the machine over the
anchor bolts. Raise and level it 1/2 inch
above the floor on three points, using
spacers such as nut fasteners.
4. Fill the spaces between the machine
base and floor with machinery grout.
Grout completely under all frame
members. Remove front and rear panels
to gain access to all frame members.
Force grout under the machine base until
all voids are filled.
5. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the
machine to settle into the wet grout.
6. Position washers and locknuts on
machinery anchor bolts and fingertighten
to machine base.
7. After the grout is completely dry, tighten
the locknuts by even increments – one
after the other – until all are tightened
evenly and the machine is fastened
securely to the floor.
8. Remove the four red transport brackets
which secure the moving components of
the machine during shipping. See Figure 7
for typical transport bracket locations on
18-pound and 25-pound capacity
freestanding models.
