INSTALLATION
June 1999
96-8000
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS:
A minimum 2-foot concrete foundation is required. The foundation should extend at least 1 ft. from the bored
holes.
Machines with outriggers must have the foundation extend at least 1 ft. from the outrigger leveling pads.
FOUNDATION NOTES:
1. Concrete shall be 3500 psi at 28 day strength. Concrete aggregate shall be a 1 mix.
2. Steel reinforcing shall be 40 K.S.I.
3. The excavation shall be cut neat against the undisturbed soil. Any loose material in the excavation
shall be removed so that the concrete bears on the undisturbed natural soil. This will help to
prevent uneven settling.
ANCHORING O VERVIEW
Setting the anchors is a three step process. First, the anchors are partially assembled hand-tight and placed
into cored holes with epoxy. This assembly keeps the anchors perpendicular to the floor while the epoxy is
curing. Once the epoxy has cured, the studs and floor plates are removed so that the machine can be moved
into position.
Once the machine is in position, the studs are threaded back into the coupling nuts with the long threaded end
of the stud facing upwards. The anchors are then reassembled loosely and the machine leveled.
Once the machine is leveled, the anchor bolts are torqued in increments to a specified rating.
