rigidity (i.e., a natural or resonant frequency many times greater than the machine speed with a
reasonable factor of safety); otherwise, the mentioned 360º rotating sinusoidal RMS forces can be
multiplied and magnified many times. It is especially important to consider all potential vibration
problems that might occur due to all possible combinations of forcing frequencies (rotating
speeds) of the machine(s) compared to the natural frequencies of the floor and/or any other
supporting structure(s). A qualified soil and/or structural engineer must be engaged for this
purpose.

above is intended to depict both on-grade and above-grade installations and is equally
applicable to flexibly-mounted washer-extractors, as well as to rigid models installed either
directly on a floor slab or on a foundation poured integrally with the slab. Current machine data is
