Mechanical Installation
After the concrete has cured, proceed
as follows:
1. Place the washer-extractor adjacent to the
foundation. Do not attempt to move the
machine by pushing on the sides. Always
insert a pry bar or other device under the
bottom frame of the machine to move it.
2. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the
carriage bolts holding the skid to the
bottom frame of the washer-extractor.
3. Place the washer-extractor carefully over
the anchor bolts. Never attempt to lift the
machine by the door handle or by pushing
on the cover panels.
4. Raise and level the washer-extractor
1/2 inch off the floor on three points, using
spacers such as nut fasteners.
5. Fill the space between the washer-
extractor base and the floor with a good
quality non-shrinking machinery grout to
ensure a stable installation. Grout
completely under all frame members.
(Remove front panel and back panel to
gain access to all frame members.) See
Figure 2–6. Force grout under machine
base until all voids are filled.
6. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the
machine to settle into the wet grout.
7. Before grout sets completely, make a drain
opening in the rear of the washer-extractor
grouting with a stiff piece of wire; this
opening should be approximately 1/2 inch
(13 mm) wide to allow any surface water
build-up under the base of the machine to
drain away. Do not omit this step.

8. Position the mounting bolt washers and
locknuts on the anchor bolts and
fingertighten locknuts to machine base.
9. After the grout is completely dry, tighten
the locknuts by even increments–one after
the other–until all are tightened evenly
and the washer-extractor is fastened
securely to the floor.
Note: Check and retighten the locknuts after
five to ten days of operation and every
month thereafter.
