FASTENING THE MACHINE
THE MACHINE WILL BE FIRMLY FIXED TO THE FLOOR AND MUST RELIABLY REST IN ALL FOUR
FOOTINGS OF THE MACHINE !
The machine is to be located on a levelled concrete floor to comply with static and dynamic stress of the
machine. Check the position of the machine base frame by a water level. The manufacturer is not
responsible for consequences caused by a wrong installation. It is expected to use anchoring bolts for fixing
the machine to the floor. There is also possible to use a suitable outlet channel for the waste water
(fig.4.3.A), unless the machine is connected to a drain pipeline.
WARNING !
THE NUTS OF THE ANCHORING BOLTS HAVE TO BE TIGHTENED BY MEANS OF A TORQUE -
LIMITING RANGE (SEE TAB. 4.3.B). DO NOT TIGHTEN NUTS OF ANCHORING BOLTS BEFORE THE
CONCRETE BASE AROUND THE BOLTS IS COMPLETELY CURED. FOR CSA-NRTL/C APPROVED
MACHINES FOLLOWING IS APPLICABLE: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE BOLTED TO AN UNCOVERED CONCRETE FLOOR.
