4. Use rebar or other appropriate material to ensure
that the concrete foundation will be sufficiently
connected to the existing floor.
5. If desired, prepare a form for the above-ground
portion of the foundation and fill form and
excavation with concrete to join the foundation.
Verify that top of foundation is level. The height
of the foundation must not exceed 8 inches
(203 mm).
6. Use the mounting bolt layout in Figure 14 to
properly position the mounting bolts in the wet
concrete. When using J-bolts, allow 1-1/2 inches
(38 mm) to extend above the surface of the
concrete.
7. Allow concrete to dry.
8. Place the machine carefully over the mounting
bolts. Never attempt to lift the machine by the
door handle or by pushing on the cover panels.
NOTE: Grouting provides a uniform mounting
surface. Grouting is optional for 2 speed models
and is required for variable-speed models installed
on a concrete foundation. If grouting is not
required, proceed to step 13.

9. Raise and level the machine 1/2 inch (13 mm) off
the foundation on three points, using spacers
such as nut fasteners.
10. Fill the space between the machine base and the
foundation with a good quality non-shrinking
machinery grout to ensure a stable installation.
Grout completely under all frame members.
11. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the
machine to settle into the wet grout.
12. Before grout sets completely, make a drain
opening in the rear of the machine grouting with
a stiff piece of wire. This opening should be
approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm) wide to allow
any surface water build-up under the base of the
machine to drain away. Do not omit this step.
13. Position washers and locknuts on J-bolts or
mounting bolts and fingertighten nuts to machine
base.
14. After the grout is completely dry, tighten the
locknuts by even increments – one after the
other – until all are tightened evenly and the
machine is fastened securely to the concrete
foundation.
