Machine foundation
For making the foundation, check with a
professional engineer in order to calculate
the foundation regarding dynamic and static
forces.
The machines are designed to be bolted in
position to a concrete floor or specially prepared
concrete foundation. A template showing the size
of the foundation and positioning of the foundation
bolts is delivered with each machine.
For installation on an existing concrete floor, the
floor must be at least 8'' thick and of good quality.
If the floor does not meet these requirements, then
a 6-8'' high concrete foundation should be made.
Follow the instructions below when making a
concrete foundation:
1 Decide where to place the machine and
consider maintenance requirements, i.e.
determine a suitable distance from the rear of
the foundation to the wall, and the distance
from the foundation to the nearest side wall.
The distance should be at least 16 and 2
inches, respectively.
2. Break up the floor to a depth of at least 3
inches, making sure that the sides of the hole
slope inwards - the bottom of the hole should
be 5 inches longer than the upper length.
3. Wet the hole well. Brush the bottom and sides
with cement grout.
4. Prepare a casing and fill with concrete to form
foundation. Make sure the foundation is level.
5.
Use the template to position the foundation
bolts correctly - bolts are to extend 1 1/2'' above
concrete.
Reinforcing ironrods A shall be used around the
base. The ironrods shall be placed between the
bolts and the edge of the foundation.
