Installation
• Two machinist's levels
• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
This procedure is applicable to the feature-fabricated steel baseplate and the advantage base
baseplate.
1. Apply an anti-seize compound on the jackscrews.
The compound makes it easier to remove the screws after you grout.
2. Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts and perform these steps:
a) Cut the plates from the bar stock and chamfer the edges of the plates in order to reduce
stress concentrations.
b) Put the plates between the jackscrews and the foundation surface.
c) Use the four jackscrews in the corners in order to raise the baseplate above the
foundation.
Make sure that the distance between the baseplate and the foundation surface is
between 0.75 in. (19 mm) and 1.50 in. (38 mm).
d) Make sure that the center jackscrews do not touch the foundation surface yet.

3. Level the driver mounting pads:
NOTICE:Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to make sure that you achieve the
correct leveling. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased
performance.
a) Put one machinist's level lengthwise on one of the two pads.
b) Put the other machinist's level across the ends of the two pads.
