Casting a plinth
A plinth should be used where the existing floor
is less than 100 mm thick or in order to ensure
that the machine is above the level of any water
leakages.
The plinth should be approximately 150 - 200
mm in height.
Proceed as follows:
• Break up the existing floor to a depth of ap
prox. 75 mm and check that the sides of the
hole are tapered outward so that the longest
side at the bottom measures 120 mm more
than at the top.
• Make the mould for the plinth.
• Moisten the hole well and apply cement to the
sides and bottom.
• 4 bolts must be set into the concrete of the
machine base. The bolts need to project 40
mm out of the base. Pour the con crete into
the prepared base mould and make sure that
the surface is level.
• The concrete should be left to set for at least
two days before mounting the machine on the
plinth.
