Installation

Dimensional Clearances

Table 1

 shows recommended minimum clearances on 

all sides of the washer-extractor.

Machine Foundation

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all 
foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation, 
eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during 
extract.

The washer-extractor must be placed on a smooth level 
surface so that the entire base of the machine is 
supported and rests on the mounting surface.

The standard installation does not require anchoring 
unless mandated by state or local codes.

Kinetic energy of the cylinder and dynamic loads on 
the floor or foundation are shown in 

Table 2

.

Table 2

 can be used as a reference when designing 

floors and foundations.
