Installation
Machine Foundation
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 accommo-
date drill fines
(concrete dust).
Please wear eye pro-
tection. Drive the anchor into
the hole through ma-
terial being fastened
until washer is flush
with material. Expand bolt by
tightening the anchor
3 to 5 turns, or to the
specified torque re-
quirements.
All B&C washer-extractors must be secured by the use of machinery anchor bolts. High
strength machinery anchors should be embedded in 3500 psi (24000 N/m2) 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:
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 the 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.
