Anchoring
To ensure proper and safe operation of the compressor the unit is required to be anchored to a flat, smooth,
concrete floor. Compressors are also required to be on ¼ inch (6.35mm) MAXIMUM thick rubber anti-
vibration pads. ISOLATOR001A
Recommended anchor Bolt specifications: wedge anchors; 3/8 in width by 3.5 in length.
How to Anchor the Compressor
1. Make sure the compressor is in the desired location and the anti-vibration pads are under the feet of
the compressor.
2. Using the holes in the feet as guides, drill the holes for the anchor bolts through the vibration pads
and into the concrete.
3. Thoroughly clean each hole.
4. Put the Washer and Nut into place, make sure the top of the Nut is flush with the top of the anchor
bolt, then insert the anchor bolt into the hole.
5. Hammer or mallet the anchor bolt down into the hole.
6. Tighten each nut clockwise, DO NOT over tighten. DO NOT use an impact to tighten the anchors.
Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble.
Use a carbide bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
The diameter of the drill bit must be the same as the diameter of
the anchor bolt. If you are using a 3/8-inch diameter anchor bolt,
for example, use a 3/8 inch diameter drill bit.
If a vacuum is not available, use a wire brush, hand pump, or
compressed air.
DO NOT ream the hole. DO NOT make the hole any wider than
the drill bit made it.
Stop hammering when the washer is snug against the top of the
foot.
