Install Machine Supports
Install Standard Isolation
Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the position of support plates and shear flex pads, which
together form the standard machine support system.
Install Accessory Isolation (if required)
Uneven floors or other considerations may dictate the use of accessory soleplates (supplied
by Carrier for field installation) and leveling pads. Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12.
Level machine by using jacking screws in isolation sole-plates. Use a level at least 24-in.
(600 mm) long.
For adequate and long lasting machine support, proper grout selection and placement is
essential. Carrier recommends that only premixed, epoxy type, non-shrinking grout be used for
machine installation. Follow manufacturer’s instructions in applying grout.
1.
Check machine location prints for required grout thickness.
2.
Carefully wax jacking screws for easy removal from grout.
3.
Grout must extend above the base of the soleplate and there must be no voids in grout
beneath the plates.
4.
Allow grout to set and harden, per manufacturer’s instructions, before starting machine.
5.
Remove jacking screws from leveling pads after grout has hardened.
