User guide

For a successful installation, a smooth level surface, so that the entire base of the machine is sup-

ported and rests on the mounting surface, is absolutely requried.

Note: Do not support the machine on only four points.

Note: Freestanding washer-extractors do not require anchoring bolts unless speciﬁed by state

or local codes. However it is always recommended that the machines be anchored.

Special care must be taken when machines are installed on an upper ﬂoor. Make sure that the ﬂoors

are designed to carry the static and dynamic loads of the machines. Further vibrations should be

taken into consideration so that the machine does not create vibrations in the building. Static and

dynamic loads on the ﬂoor or foundation are shown in the ﬁgure 4.1 on page 19. This table can

be used as reference when designing ﬂoors and foundations. See the ﬁgures beginning on page

20 for mounting bolt layout measurement and pattern.

4.4.1 Mounting Bolt Installation

All SP Machines use 1/2-13 bolts. Embed the bolts in 3500 psi reinforced concrete with a minimum

of 4”’ thickness. The threaded end of the bolt should extend 2 inches from the surface of the ﬂoor.

Grouting is recommended, but not required.
