Machine Foundation and Pad Installa-

tion

A concrete pad may be constructed to elevate a machine. Care must be exercised in the design of the pad due to the force exerted by

the machine during extract. This concrete pad, recommended not to exceed 8 inches [203 mm] above existing floor, must be placed,

reinforced with rebar and tied to the existing floor. Refer to Table 9 , Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 for multiple machine installa-

tions.

* Installing additional concrete mass (thicker foundation) will further reduce vibration and install risk.

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 12 inches [305 mm] thick, an elevated pad is desired or multiple machines are to

be installed, the following steps must be performed (refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3):

1. Cut a hole larger on all sides than the machine base through

the existing floor, refer to Table 9 .

2. Excavate to a depth as indicated in Table 9 from the top of the

existing floor.

3. If installing a foundation with elevated 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.

4. Backfill with clean fill dirt.

5. Compact backfill, making sure to allow for correct concrete

thickness.

6. Drill holes (refer to manufacturer’s requirements for drill hole

size) for the perimeter reinforcing bar at a depth of 2.5 inches

[64 mm] into the existing floor. The reinforcing should be 12

inches [305 mm] on center each way around entire perimeter.

7. Clean out debris from each reinforcing bar hole.

8. Fill half the hole depth with acrylic adhesive.

9. Using #4 [60 ksi] reinforcing bar, tie new pad to existing floor

making sure to tie reinforcing bars at the intersections and us-
