Installation on a Steel Base
The steel base structure must be able to withstand the static and
dynamic loads of the washer floor (see “Technical Specifications”).
The base must also allow the washer to be seated in a perfectly level
manner.

Installation on an Elevated Concrete Pad
Use this method if the existing floor is thinner than 4.72"/
120 mm or if the washer is positioned above the existing floor level.
The height of the elevated pad could be 5.9–7.87"/150–200 mm
(see “Dimensions” illustration below).
1.
Break and remove the existing floor down to the depth of approx.
2.95"/75 mm (see “Floor Removal” illustration below). The longest
dimensions of the lower part of the hole must be 4.72"/120 mm
longer than the dimensions of the upper part of the hole G and F
dimensions (see “Anchoring Dimensions” chart).
2.
Wet the complete hole and spread over with cement.
3.
To increase the load-bearing capacity and reduce possible
concrete deformations, we recommend inserting an armature
into the base of the pad. For adequate connection of the new pad
with the existing floor, insert one or more reinforcing bars.
NOTE:
When inserting the reinforcing bar(s), take into
consideration the locations (and space requirements) for drilling
holes. These holes will be used for the chemical anchor bolts.
4.
Pour concrete into the prepared base. Level the surface carefully
into a horizontal plane.
5.
Let the concrete harden for at least two days before installation
of the washer. Wait one week before operating the washer with
a full load.
