Casting a plinth

A foundation should be used where the existing
9
floor is less than 8 inches (200 mm) thick or in
order to ensure that the machine is securely
anchored and will not vibrate excessively.
The foundation must be at least 8 inches (200
mm) thick.
Proceed as follows:
• Break up the existing floor to a depth of ap-
10
prox. 5 inches (125 mm) and check that the
sides of the hole are tapered outward so that
the longest side at the bottom measures 5
inches (125 mm) more than at the top.
• Make the forms for the foundation.
• Moisten the hole well and apply cement to the
sides and bottom.
• A number of mounting bolts must be set
into the concrete of the foundation.
The bolts need to project 1-1 1/2 inches (40
mm) out of the base. Pour the con crete into
the prepared base mold and make sure that
the surface is level.
• The concrete should be left to set for at least
two days before mounting the machine on the
foundation.
• Mounting bolt locations are shown with
respect to the outer surface of the machin's
front panel. If the front panel is to be set back
from the front of the foundation, add the set-
back distance to dimension "E".
