Prepare the foundation for mounting
1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 25.0 mm | 1.0 in. in order to remove porous
or low-strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil
or other moisture.
NOTICE:
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.
2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.
3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable
material. Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste
wax in order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible
primer.
Install the baseplate using shims or wedges
Required tools:
• Two sets of shims or wedges for each foundation bolt
• Two machinist's levels
• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
This procedure is applicable to cast iron and fabricated steel baseplates.
1. If you use sleeve-type bolts, fill the bolt sleeves with packing material or rags to prevent
grout from entering the bolt holes.
2. Put the sets of wedges or shims on each side of each foundation bolt.
The sets of wedges should have a height of between 19 mm | 0.75 in. and 38 mm | 1.50 in.
