Installation
Machine Foundation
Note: Do not mount on wooden floors,
above ground level, or over basements or
crawlspaces. Installation must be “slab on
grade” or equivalent.
CAUTION
Ensure that the machine is installed on a
level floor of sufficient strength and that the
recommended clearances for inspection
and maintenance are provided. Never allow
the inspection and maintenance space to
be blocked.
SW020
A proper foundation is absolutely necessary
for all models because of the high extract
speed and the G-forces exerted.
The machine must be anchored to a smooth
level surface so that the entire base of the
machine is supported and rests on the
mounting surface. (Do not support the machine
on only four points.) Anchor bolts for machine
sizes up to the 50-pound capacity model must
be a minimum of 5/8-inch diameter, grade 2.
Anchor bolts for the 80-pound capacity model
must be a minimum of 3/4-inch diameter,
grade 2.
Care must be exercised in the design of the
mounting base due to the force exerted by the
machine during extract.
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or
foundation are shown in the Cabinet
Hardmount Floor Load Data tables in this
subsection. These tables can be used as a
reference when designing floors and
foundations.
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with
all foundation work to insure a stable unit
installation, eliminating possibilities of
excessive vibration during extract.
The machine must be secured to a foundation
or floor of adequate construction. The floor
must be 3500 psi minimum reinforced
concrete embedded in clean, compacted fill
dirt. For 2-speed models, the floor must be at
least 4 inches (102 mm) thick. For 3-speed
and variable-speed models (except for the
80-pound capacity model), the floor must be at
least 6 inches (152 mm) thick. For 80-pound
capacity models, the floor must be at least 9
inches (229 mm) thick.
