Freely On The Floor; Freely On An Elevation - Maytag MFS 25 Installation And Maintenance Manual

4.3.1. FREELY ON THE FLOOR

The machine is to be located on a not elevated leveled concrete floor that comply with static and dynamic
stress of the machine.
The friction coefficient must be higher then 0,5 between the rubber feet and the floor material. Do not place
the machine on a smooth surface but on a rough floor material like concrete. If the friction coefficient is less,
then the machine can move while spinning. If this should happens fasten the machine, see „Fasten with anchoring
bolts".
MACHINES 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 16lb, 10kg / 22lb
Position the machine only on his 4 adjustable rubber feet.
MACHINES 16kg / 36lb
Place between the four corners of the frame and the floor a thin rubber sheet of 10x10cm / 3.93"x3.93"
with thickness between 1-2 / 0.04"-0.08" maximum. We advice to fasten this machines always, see „Fasten
with anchoring bolts".

4.3.2. FREELY ON AN ELEVATION

MACHINES 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 16lb, 10kg / 22lb
If you choose to place the machine on a metal base or pad, use a U-profile to secure the machine position.
Fix the U-profile to the iron frame by welding or fix it to the floor by anchoring bolts. This is necessary to prevent
that the machine moves from the base. Make a base according, fig. 4.3.2.
Place the machines front rubber feet in the U-profile.
