Foundation Specifications
A concrete foundation is recommended for all HPB installations. Concrete provides good support
and good vibration absorption. The foundation should have a mass that is 50% more than the
total weight of the equipment and its perimeter should extend at least 6 inches (15 cm) on each
side from the unit. Make sure the concrete is completely dry and level before installing any ma

chinery. Make sure anchor bolts and shims are properly sized and installed in cases of uneven
surfaces.

Baseplate Installation
Two heavy duty baseplate feet are used to support the HPB-2800. Heavy steel plating is also
recommended as a substrate under both feet. Although both of these baseplate feet are precisely
manufactured, they require a solid foundation such as a concrete pad or rigid steel substructure.
Both baseplates must be installed to avoid distortion which may occur due to uneven floors or
substructure.
