All measurements are taken from the outside edge of the machine frame, without
covers, unless specifically described otherwise.
Minimum weight distribution is shown in the shaded area of Figure 1 on page 25.
v "a" = side dimension
v "b" = front dimension
v "c" = rear dimension

Weight distribution and multiple systems

Under typical conditions, service clearances of adjacent products may be
overlapped but weight distribution areas should not be overlapped. If weight
distribution clearances are overlapped, the customer should obtain the services of a
qualified consultant or structural engineer to determine floor loading. Regardless of
floor loading, minimum service and aisle clearances must be observed:
v Rear dimension "d" is 991 mm (39 in.).
v Front dimension "e" is 1168 mm (46 in.).
v Both "d" and "e" are measured from the frame edge (without covers) to the
v Cover opening dimensions are also shown.
Note that aisle clearances are not the same between rows of front-facing and
rear-facing covers. Front-facing rows require 1168 mm (46 in.) of clearance while
rear-facing rows need a minimum of 991 mm (39 in.).
