Machine Foundation
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed
with all foundation work to ensure a stable
unit installation, eliminating possibilities of
excessive vibration during extract.
The washer-extractor must be placed on a
smooth level surface so that the entire base of
the machine is supported and rests on the
mounting surface. (Do not support the washer-
extractor on only four points.)
The 35-pound, 50-pound, and 85-pound
capacity washer-extractors do not require
anchoring unless mandated by state or
local codes.
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or
foundation are shown in the table below.
This table can be used as a reference when
designing floors and foundations.
Ensure that the machine is installed on a
level floor of sufficient strength and that the
recommended clearances for inspection
and maintenance are provided. Never allow
the inspection and maintenance space to
be blocked.
