Step 3 — Install Machine Supports
INSTALL STANDARD ISOLATION
Figure 8 shows 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 Fig. 10.
Chiller support plates must be level within
1
/
4
-in. (6 mm) from
one end to the other.
Level machine by using jacking screws in isolation soleplates.
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 pre-mixed, epoxy type, non-shrinking grout be used for
machine installation. Follow manufacturer’s instructions in ap-
plying 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 instruc-
tions, before starting machine.
5. Remove jacking screws from leveling pads after grout has
hardened.

cordance with all applicable national and local codes.
