4. Use rebar or other appropriate material to
ensure that the concrete foundation pad
will be sufficiently connected to the
existing floor.
5. Prepare a form for the above-ground
portion of the pad and fill form and
excavation with concrete to join the
foundation. Verify that top of pad is level.
The height of the pad must not exceed
8 inches (203 mm).
6. Use the mounting bolt layout in Figures
27 and 28 to properly position the
mounting bolts in the wet concrete.
When using J-bolts, allow 1-1/2 inches
(38 mm) to extend above the surface of
the concrete.
7. Allow concrete to dry.
8. Place the machine carefully over the
mounting bolts. Never attempt to lift the
machine by the door handle or by pushing
on the cover panels.
9. If the machine is a
2-speed
model,
grouting is optional.
If grouting is not desired, position washers
and locknuts on J-bolts and tighten the
locknuts by even increments—one after
the other—until all are tightened evenly
and the machine is fastened securely to the
floor. See Figure 35.
If grouting is desired, proceed to step 10.
If the machine is a
3-speed
or
variable-
speed
machine installed on a concrete
foundation pad, the machine must be
grouted. Proceed to step 10.
