Mechanical Installation

Mounting Bolt Installation

A bolt kit is available as an option. The UW35 uses 5/

8-11 x 6 inch bolts; the UW60 uses 3/4-10 x 8 inch

bolts. The bolts should be embedded in a 3500 psi

minimum reinforced concrete floor that is a minimum

of 6 inches thick. For mounting bolt layouts for both

machines, see Figures 4 and 5. (The front of the

washer-extractor is the bottom of the diagram.)

The threaded end of the bolts should extend 2 inches

above the surface of the floor.

See Figure 6 for a typical installation of individual

mounting bolts on a UW60.

Figure 6

A bolt-locator fixture or rebar frame is available as an

option. This rigid welded assembly made of

reinforcing rod and mounting bolts is designed to be

embedded in concrete. See Figure 7.

Figure 7

If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least

6 inches (152 mm) thick over a solid foundation, cut a

hole approximately 5 feet square through the existing

floor. Excavate to a depth of 6 inches from the top of

the existing floor. 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. Fill with 6 inches of reinforced concrete. Embed

the mounting bolts or base frame as the concrete is

poured. Ensure that the bolt threads extend 2 inches

above floor level.
