Machine Mounting and Grouting

NOTE: After the concrete has cured completely and the
cast-in-place method was used, refer to

Figure 23

and

proceed to Step 7. If acrylic adhesive anchors are de-
sired, refer to

Figure 22

and proceed with Step 1 after

concrete has cured completely.

1. Refer to

Table 24

to set the drill depth gauge.

2. Drill the holes to the set depth.
3. Use compressed air or squeeze bulb to clean out debris from

each hole.

4. Fill half the hole depth with an industry-accepted adhesive an-

choring system.

5. Insert anchor bolt until it reaches the bottom. Refer to

Table

6. Ensure all air pockets are removed from adhesive surrounding

the bolt.

7. Allow adhesive around bolt to cure completely.
8. Remove shipping materials and place the machine or elevated

base frame carefully over the bolts.

NOTE: Never attempt to lift the machine by the door
handle or by pushing on the cover panels. Always
insert a pry bar or other lifting device under the bot-
tom frame of the machine to move it.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT install 80 models or larger
machines on an elevated metal base frame.

9. Raise and level the machine or elevated base frame 1/2 inch

[1.27 cm] off the floor on four corners, using spacers such as
nut fasteners.

WARNING

Crush hazard. To avoid personal injury and/or
property damage, do not tip the machine more
than 25 degrees in any direction.

10. Completely fill the space between the elevated base frame or

machine base and the floor with a good quality

non-shrink-

ing machinery precision grout

to ensure a stable installation.

Grout completely under frame. Remove front panel and back
panel to gain access to

entire perimeter of base plates

. Force

grout under base until all voids are filled.

IMPORTANT: Minimum Grade 5, SAE rating, flat
washers and minimum Grade 5, SAE rating, serrated
hex flange locknuts are the recommended hardware
for anchoring machine or elevated base frame to an-
chor bolts.

11. Position the flat washers and locknuts on the anchor bolts and

finger-tighten to machine base or elevated base frame.

12. Allow machine grout to set, but not cure.

IMPORTANT: Refer to bolt manufacturer’s recom-
mended adhesive cure times.

13. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine base or

elevated base frame to settle into the wet grout.

NOTE: If installing a 20-60 model directly to finished
floor, wait until grout is completely cured and skip
to Step 18. If installing on elevated base frame, pro-
ceed to Step 14.

20-60 Models

14. After the grout is completely cured, position the machine over

the elevated base frame.

15. Align the mounting holes on the machine with the corre-

sponding holes on the elevated base frame.

16. Install a bolt, flat washer and locknut in each mounting hole.
17. Hand tighten each nut.

a.   Tighten the two rear nuts two turns.
b.   Tighten the two front nuts two turns.
c.   Tighten the two middle nuts firmly.

18. Torque all the locknuts to 90 ± 9 ft.-lbs. – one after the other –

until all are tightened evenly and the machine is fastened se-
curely to the elevated base frame or floor.

80 Models and Larger

19. After the grout is completely cured, torque the locknuts to 150

± 15 ft.-lbs. – one after the other – until all are tightened even-
ly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor.
