Installation
NOTICE:
You may need to sandblast the surfaces of a baseplate that come in contact with grout, and
then coat those surfaces with a primer that is grout-compatible. Make sure to remove all
equipment before sandblasting.
3. Make sure that all machined surfaces are free from burrs, rust, paint, or any other type of
contamination.
If necessary, use a honing stone to remove burrs.
Prepare the foundation for mounting
1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 1.0 in. (25.0 mm) in order to remove porous
or low-strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil
or other moisture.
NOTICE:
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.
2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.
3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable
material. Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste
wax in order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible
primer.
Install and level the baseplate
