Installation

10. Raise and level the machine 1/2 inch off
the pad on three points, using spacers such
as nut fasteners.
11. Fill the space between the machine base
and the pad with a good quality
non-shrinking machinery grout to ensure a
stable installation. Grout completely under
all frame members.
12. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the
machine to settle into the wet grout.
13. Before grout sets completely, make a drain
opening in the rear of the machine
grouting with a stiff piece of wire. This
opening should be approximately 1/2 inch
(13 mm) wide to allow any surface water
build-up under the base of the machine to
drain away.
Do not omit this step.
14. Position washers and locknuts on J-bolts
and fingertighten nuts to machine base.
15. 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 concrete foundation pad.
See Figure 35.

Note:
Check and retighten the locknuts after
five to ten days of operation and every three
months thereafter.
