Preparing the CMC Cabinet
The CMC mounts to the floor of the CMC Cabinet Section by four 
bolts near each corner of the CMC (see Figure 4). The bolts and 
hardware are preinstalled in the CMC Cabinet Section. The CMC 
Isolation Mounting Strips are also secured by these bolts for shipping (see 
Figure 14). Make sure to remove the washers, nuts, and mounting strips 
first (leave the 4 bolts in place). The front and rear pair of bolts are 
mounted in horizontal slots across the front and across the rear of the 
cabinet to allow for slight left-to-right movement. This makes it easier to 
mate the bolts to the holes in the base of the CMC assembly.

The six (6) supplied black rubber CMC Isolation Mounting Strips 
(approx. 3” wide x ¼” thick) must be placed between the CMC Cabinet 
floor and the CMC to reduce noise due to vibration. Two layers are 
placed between the front pair and rear pair of mounting bolts (over the 
horizontal slots), and single layers are placed under each of the two weld 
straps (parallel to the pair of mounting bolt strips) towards the center of 
the CMC. Measure the position of the weld straps and pre-position these 
strips (see Figures 5 and 6) on the floor of the CMC Cabinet before the 
installation of the CMC.
