Machine Foundation

The machine must be secured to a foundation or floor
of adequate construction. Detail must be stressed with
all foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation,
eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration. 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. Anchor bolts must be a
minimum of 3/4 inch diameter, grade 2. Refer to
Mechanical Installation.

A base designed to elevate the UW50 to a comfortable
and more accessible height for loading and unloading
laundry may be used. Care must be exercised in the
design of such a base due to the force exerted by the
machine during extract (222 Gs).

Static and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are
shown in Table 2. This table can be used as a reference
when designing floors and foundations.

NOTE: Machine must be installed on concrete floor
that is a minimum of 12 inches thick. Do not mount
on wooden floors. Do not install above ground floor.
Floor must be solid.
