Foundation requirements
Requirements
• The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid
support for the unit.
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion
when you tighten the foundation bolts.
Baseplate-mounting procedures
Prepare the baseplate for mounting
1. Remove all the attached equipment from the baseplate.
2. Clean the underside of the baseplate completely.
3. If applicable, coat the underside of the baseplate with an epoxy primer.
Use an epoxy primer only if you used an epoxy-based grout.
4. Remove the rust-proofing coat from the machined mounting pads using an appropriate
solvent.
5. Remove water and debris from the foundation-bolt holes.
Prepare the foundation for mounting
1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 1.0 in. (25.0 mm) in order to remove porous
or low-strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil
or other moisture.
NOTICE:
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.
2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.
3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable
material. Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste
wax in order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible
primer.
Install the baseplate using shims or wedges
Required tools:
• Two sets of shims or wedges for each foundation bolt
