Mechanical Installation (Continued)
4.
Remove debris from hole. Anchor J-bolt in
place, using “Sulfaset” anchoring
compound or equivalent; verify that the J-
bolts are in the correct locations and that
1-1/2"
(38 mm) of each J-bolt protrudes from the
floor. See Figure 2–20.
Figure 2–20.
5.
Raise and level the base frame 1/2"
(13mm) off the floor on three points, using
spacers such as nut fasteners.
6.
Fill the space between the frame base and
the floor with machinery grout; grout
completely under all frame members.
7.
Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the
base frame to settle into the wet grout.
8.
Before grout sets completely, make a drain
opening in the rear of the machine
grouting with a stiff piece of wire; this
opening should be approximately 1/2" (13
mm) wide to allow any surface water
build-up under the base of the machine to
drain away.
9.
Attach the washers and locknuts to the J-
bolts after the grout
has hardened.
10.
Tighten the lock nuts by even
increments—one after the other—until all
are tightened evenly and the base frame is
fastened securely to the floor. See Figure
2–21.
Figure 2–21.
11.
After the grout is completely dry, tighten
all of the lock nuts to
100 ft-lbs (136 N/m) torque.
12.
Position the machine over the base frame,
aligning the mounting holes on the
machine with the corresponding holes on
the frame.
13.
Install a bolt, lockwasher, and nut in each
mounting hole. Use 5/8–18x2" grade 5
mounting bolts with 5/8–18" grade B nuts
and 5/8 lockwashers.
14.
Handtighten each nut.
15.
Tighten the two rear nuts two turns.
16.
Tighten the two front nuts two turns.
17.
On 160s and 230s, firmly tighten the two
middle nuts.
18.
Tighten the two front nuts firmly.
