4. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine to settle into the wet grout.
5. Attached the mounting bolt washers and lock nuts to the anchor bolts after the grout has
hardened. Tighten the lock nuts by even increments-one after the other-until all are tightened
evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor. The nuts should be tightened in a
diagonal fashion, which will help ensure equal tension at all anchor points.
6. Remove the transportation brackets which secure the moving components of the machine
