3. Drill and chisel out a conical hole large
enough to accept the J-bolt. See
Figure 30.
Figure 30
4. Use compressed air or a squeeze bulb to
remove debris from each hole. Anchor
J-bolt in place, using an industry-accepted
anchoring compound. Verify that the
J-bolts are in the correct locations and that
1-1/2 inches (38 mm) of each J-bolt
protrude from the floor. See Figure 31.
Figure 31
5. Place the machine carefully over the
J-bolts. Never attempt to lift the machine
by the door handle or by pushing on the
cover panels.
6. If the machine is a 2-speed model and
the mounting surface is level and even,
grouting is optional.
If grouting is not desired, position washers
and locknuts on J-bolts and tighten the
locknuts by even increments—one after
the other—until all are tightened evenly
and the machine is fastened securely to the
floor. See Figure 26.
If grouting is desired (or required by the
condition of the mounting surface),
proceed to step 7.
If the machine is a 3-speed or variable-
speed model, the machine must be
grouted. Proceed to step 7.
7. Raise and level the machine 1/2 inch off
the floor on three points, using spacers
such as nut fasteners.
8. Fill the space between the machine base
and the floor with a good quality
non-shrinking machinery grout to ensure a
stable installation. Grout completely under
all frame members.
9. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the
machine to settle into the wet grout.
10. Before grout sets completely, make a drain
opening in the rear of the machine
grouting with a stiff piece of wire. This
opening should be approximately 1/2 inch
(13 mm) wide to allow any surface water
build-up under the base of the machine to
drain away. Do not omit this step.
11. Position washers and locknuts on J-bolts
and fingertighten nuts to machine base.
12. After the grout is completely dry, tighten
the locknuts by even increments—one
after the other—until all are tightened
evenly and the machine is fastened
securely to the floor. See Figure 32.
