INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
3-4
All washers – extractors must be secured by the use of machinery anchor bolts. High
strength machinery anchors should be embedded in 3,500 psi (24,000 N/m
2
) reinforced concrete.
See Figure. For detailed information regarding the machine anchor bolt, see the instructions
included with the anchor bolts themselves. The following information is just an example.
After the concrete has cured, proceed as follows:
Figure.3-4 Mounting Bolt Installation
Place the machine adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move it by pushing on the
sides.
1.
Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding it to the bottom frame of the
machine.
2.
Carefully place the machine over the anchor bolts. Raise and level it 1/2 inch above the floor
on four points, using spacers that can be removed.
3.
Fill the spaces between the machine base and floor with machinery grout. Grout completely
under all frame members. Remove front panel and rear panel to gain access to all frame
members. Force grout under the machine base until all voids are filled.
4.
Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine to settle into the wet grout.
5.
Attached the mounting bolt washers and lock nuts to the anchor bolts after the grout has
hardened. Tighten the lock nuts by even increments – one after the other – until all are
tightened evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor. The nuts should be
tightened in a diagonal fashion, which will help ensure equal tension at all anchor points.
6.
Remove the four red transportation brackets which secure the moving component of the
machine during shipping.
C. MOUNTING BOLT INSTALLATION
Select a carbide
drill bit with a
diameter equal to
the anchor diameter.
Drill hole to any
depth exceeding the
desired embedment.
Clean hole or
continue drilling to
accommodate drill
fines (concrete
dust). Please wear
eye protection.
Drive the anchor
into the hole
through material
being fastened until
washer is flush with
material.
Expand bolt by
tightening the
anchor 3 to 5 turns,
or to the specified
torque
requirements.
