Installing the GREEN MACHINE on the Concrete Pad
•
After the concrete has properly cured, install the expansion anchor bolts according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
See Figures 1-2 and 1-3.
•
For applications that require expansion anchors that are especially suited to seismic and
cracked concrete, VST recommends using the HILTI KWIK TZ (KB-TZ) BOLT, KB-
TZ 3/8” X 5”,
(item number 00304583) or approved equal.
•
The contractor or design engineer is responsible for sizing the expansion anchors and the
concrete pad to meet seismic and cracked concrete specifications required by local, state,
and federal jurisdictions.
•
Since seismic regulations may be different by location, VST has not included a
specific drawing for this application.
•
For seismic design reference,
•
After the appropriate anchor bolts have been installed, position the GREEN MACHINE onto
the anchor bolts in the cement slab.
•
Bolt the GREEN MACHINE into place (according to the manufacturer recommended
installation guidelines) with 3/8” galvanized lock
washers and bolts that are included with
the expansion bolt.
