6. Pour grout through grout holes in baseplate (soleplates too, where holes have been provided)
and working from sides, push grout between foundation and baseplate (or soleplates).
7. Work and rod grout until entire space between top of foundation and top of grout holes is full
and absolutely free of air pockets.
8. Allow grout to cure until it can support a working pump without cracking or breaking up,
then:
a. remove cloth from around foundation bolts, back off leveling screws until completely
free of baseplate (or soleplates) and tighten holddown nuts on foundation bolts; or
b. leave leveling blocks and shims in place and tighten holddown nuts on foundation bolts,
whichever is applicable.
9. Verify that baseplate is rigidly grouted by tapping on drip plate with steel rod and listening to
the resound: a solid thud indicates a rigid grout; a drumlike hollow sound indicates a void and
this must be filled with epoxy grout. To fill a void, proceed as follows:
a. Drill and tap 0.25 in (or 6.4 mm) hole (one that is compatible with grease-type fitting, for
example, a Zerk fitting) wherever there is a void.
b. Install fitting; then using a compatible hand gun filled with epoxy grout, pump the void
full.
c. Again tap drip plate and listen for resound: for drumlike hollow resound repeat steps a
and b.
d. Remove fittings, plug holes with epoxy, and level off epoxy.
3.3.2 GROUTING WITH EPOXY
To grout the soleplates or baseplate using an epoxy grout, proceed as follows:
NOTE
In grouting with epoxy, it is essential that you apply the
epoxy in accordance with the epoxy manufacturer's
instructions.
1. Complete steps 1 through 3 under GROUTING WITH CEMENT AND SAND above.
2. Clean off foundation slab and follow epoxy manufacturer's instructions for any further
preparation of the slab.
3. Wrap cloth around leveling screws to cover threads, thereby leaving space for loosening the
leveling screws.
NOTE
Proper practice is to begin grouting lowest compartment,
which is normally at pump end of baseplate, and progress in
order to highest compartment, which is normally at driver
end of baseplate.
4. In accordance with the epoxy manufacturer's instructions apply grout through grout holes in
baseplate (soleplates too, where holes have been provided).
