Machine Foundation and Pad Installa-
tion
A concrete pad may be constructed to elevate a machine. Care
must be exercised in the design of the pad due to the force exer-
ted by the machine during extract. This concrete pad, recommen-
ded not to exceed 8 inches [203 mm] above existing floor, must
be placed, reinforced with rebar and tied to the existing floor. Re-

IMPORTANT: Do NOT install a pad on top of the exist-
ing floor. The foundation and pad must be constructed
and tied together as one piece.
If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least of mini-
mum thickness (depending on model), an elevated pad is desired
or multiple machines are to be installed, the following steps must
be performed (refer to
Figure 16
,
Figure 17
, and
Figure 18
):
1.
Cut a hole larger on all sides than the machine base through
the existing floor, refer to
Table 14
.
2.
Excavate to a depth as indicated in
Table 14
from the top of
the existing floor.
3.
If installing a foundation with elevated pad, prepare a form
for the above-ground portion of the foundation. Verify that
the top of the foundation is level. The height of the foundation
pad must not exceed 8 inches [203 mm] above the existing
floor.
4.
Backfill with clean fill dirt.
5.
Compact backfill, making sure to allow for correct concrete
thickness.
6.
Drill holes [refer to manufacturer’s requirements for drill hole
size] for the perimeter reinforcing bar at a depth of 2.5 inches
[64 mm] into the existing floor. The reinforcing should be 12
inches [305 mm] on center each way around entire perimeter.
7.
Clean out debris from each reinforcing bar hole.
8.
Fill half the hole depth with acrylic adhesive.
9.
Using #4 (60 ksi) reinforcing bar, tie new pad to existing floor
making sure to tie reinforcing bars at the intersections and us-
ing proper reinforcing bar supports to hold bars at the proper
depth in the pad.
10.
Allow adhesive around reinforcing bar to cure properly, refer
to adhesive manufacturer for recommended cure times.
11.
Completely fill with 3500 psi minimum concrete up to the ex-
isting foundation level plus any added level (maximum of 8
inches [203 mm]) for the desired elevated pad. The concrete
must be poured so that the entire foundation and pad cures as
one piece.
12.
Allow concrete to cure, refer to manufacturer’s recommended
cure times.
13.
Using a mounting bolt template, elevated base frame or the
machine base, mark where the holes should be drilled to
mount the machine.
NOTE: As an alternate method, cast in the Grade 5
(minimum SAE rating), 5/8 inches [16 mm] for 20-60
pound models and 3/4 inch [19 mm] for 80-100
pound models anchor bolts as the concrete is pour-
ed, refer to
Figure 20
and
Table 18
.
