Concrete Foundation Pad
Installation
A concrete foundation and pad may be constructed to
elevate the machines. Care must be exercised in the
design of the foundation pad due to the force exerted
by the machine during extract. This concrete base
(recommended not to exceed 8 inches [20.32 cm])
(above existing floor) must be poured, reinforced with
rebar and tied to the existing 6 inch (153 mm) (for 35
and 60 2-speed, L-speed and M-speed models) or 12
inch (305 mm) (for all other models) minimum floor.
Refer to Figure 9 and Table 3.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT install a pad on top of the
existing floor. The foundation and pad must be
constructed and tied together as one piece.
If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least 6
inch (153 mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed and
M-speed models) or 12 inch (305 mm) (for all other
models) thick over a solid foundation, the following
steps must be performed (refer to Figure 9):
1. Cut a hole larger on all sides than the machine
base through the existing floor. The foundation
should extend a minimum of 9 inches (229 mm)
for 35 models or 12 inches (305 mm) for 60 - 150
models out from the machine on all sides.
2. Excavate to a depth of 18 inches (457 mm) from
the top of the existing floor.
3. Produce a PYRAMID-SHAPED hole by
excavating the bottom of the hole to a width 6
inches wider on each side than the width of the
top of the hole.
4. If installing a foundation and pad, prepare a form
for the above-ground portion of the foundation.
Verify that the top of the foundation is level. The
height of the foundation pad must not exceed 8
inches (203 mm) above the existing floor.
5. Refill with compacted fill dirt, making sure to
allow for correct concrete thickness.
6. Wet the hole around the cement foundation well
and brush the exposed foundation with cement
grout.
7. Completely fill with a minimum of 6 inch (153
mm) (for 35 and 60 2-speed, L-speed and
M-speed models) or 12 inch (305 mm) (for all
other models) of 3500 psi concrete up to the
existing foundation level plus any added level for
the desired elevated pad. The concrete must be
poured so that the entire foundation and pad
cures as one piece.
8. For new foundations only a bolt-locator fixture
or a rebar frame is available and a preferred
option. Embed the mounting bolts or rebar frame
as the concrete is poured. Ensure that the bolt
threads extend 2 inches (51 mm) for 35 - 125
models and 3 inches (76 mm) for 150 models
above floor level.
9. Allow concrete to dry.
10. Proceed to Machine Mounting and Grouting
section.
NOTE: If the washer-extractor installation will
include the Premium Wet Clean Module, the
elevated base must be designed to accommodate the
additional depth of 24 inches (60.96 cm).
