2.0 Facility Preparation
Prior to uncrating your machine confirm that your location can
accommodate the Ironwood BR23. Follow these guidelines:
2.1 Floor
• The floor must be flat and level.
• Although no special foundations are required, a concrete floor is
recommended.
• All floors must have a load-bearing strength suitable for the
machine weight of approximately 830 lbs (380 kg).
• The machine need not be anchored to the floor. However, if you
decide to do so, purchase high quality anchor bolts appropriate
to the floor construction and material.
2.2 Work Space
• Provide adequate workspace surrounding the machine.
• Provide proper non-glare, overhead lighting.
