recommended.
The base plate of the foam pump and motor assembly
must be anchored to a surface or structure that is rigid and
of adequate strength to withstand the vibration and
stresses of apparatus operation.
The base of the foam pump and motor assembly includes
5/16” (8mm) diameter predrilled mounting holes. The
apparatus mounting location must to be drilled
accordingly. The base plate may be used as a template to
mark mounting hole locations.
