Installation W485N/S-W4330N/S

Leave the machine on the tran s port pallet until it
can be placed in the final, pre pared position.

Siting

Install the machine close to a floor drain or open
drain. In order to make installation and servicing
the machine easier the following clearances are
recommended:
• At least 20 inches (500 mm) between the
8
machine and the wall behind.
• Minimum 1 inch (25 mm) to next machine if
more than one machine is installed on a foun-
dation.

Floor

In this type of machine, the drum is attached di-
rectly to the frame. As a result the floor under the
machine must be stable enough to absorb the
dy namic forces generated during spin cycles.
For that reason, the mounting bolts must be cast
into the floor material itself.
The machine must be securely fastened to a
suitable foundation using M16 (5/8 inch)
threaded rod, flat washers and lock nuts or lock
washers. Failure to properly secure the machine
to its foundation, or securing the machine to
an inadequate foundation, will result in severe
vibration, damage to the machine, and will void
the manufacturer´s warranty.
When fixing the machine to an existing cement
floor, it must be at least 8 inches (200 mm) thick.
The floor must be able to withstand the loads in-
dicated in the table.
If it isn't possible to cast the bolts into the floor,
an alternative might be to use so-called chemical
anchors. Your local dealer can provide the infor-
ma tion you need.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The use of chemical anchors and/or the use of
a fabricated steel mounting base DOES NOT re-
duse the thickness requirement for the underly-
ing concrete floor. The floor MUST BE AT LEAST
8 INCHES (200 MM) THICK, or a new concrete
foundation MUST be poured.
