evenly.
• NOTE: The baseplate should be mounted without distortion.
7. When baseplate is level, 'snug' the foundation bolt nuts, but do not tighten completely.
4.3 GROUTING
4.3.1 Equipment/Material Required
• Grout Mix: Non Shrink Type
• Sufficient lumber for foundation template and grout trough.
• Risers or funnels for guiding grout.
• Sufficient oil paint for grout protective covering.
• Dial indicator.
• One bracket, suitably stiff having an arm length of sufficient length to extend from the driver coupling hub
to the pump coupling hub.
4.3.2 Grouting Precautions
During all the grouting process, the involved personnel must follow these safety precautions:
1. Wear goggles or face shields, aprons, and protective gloves at all times.
2. Wear dust masks if in contact with the dry aggregates.
3. Wash hands regularly with soap and water.
• Some epoxy grouts have highly exothermic reactive properties; they should be
handled with care. They may become extremely hot and cause severe burns.
4.3.3 Grouting Procedure
1. Verify that anchored bolt sleeves are clean and dry. Fill them with a nonbonding moldable material to
prevent them from being grouted.
2. The anchor bolt threads should be protected with tape before grouting.
3. Provide a form around the baseplate to contain the grout. The form should be chamfered at all corners.
