Grout the baseplate
Required equipment:

the instructions provided by the grout manufacturer.
• Grout: Non-shrink grout is required.
1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout.
2. Build a dam around the foundation.
3. Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout.
4. Pour grout into the baseplate up to top of the base rails.
Locate shims to allow removal after grouting.
When you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods:
• Puddle with a vibrator.
• Pump the grout into place.
5. Allow the grout to set. It is recommended to remove shims, retighten anchor bolts,
and fill shim gaps with grout.
