Video Instructions

Anchor Template Placement

  1. Unroll machine anchoring template [1].
  2. Use centerlines and provided reference sheet dimensions, measure distances to nearest allowable obstructions.
  3. Once position is established, taped the corners [2] of the anchoring template to the foundation.  Keep the template as flat as possible.
  4. Spray paint the foundation in the cutout areas of the template [3].
  5. Let the paint dry for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Remove the anchoring template [1].

Drill Holes and Set the Anchors

Use the provided SDS-Plus Style drill for the following steps:

  • Drill specified number of holes at depth 2.00 - 2.25" each.  Drill bit should be perpendicular to foundation.
  • Clean the holes with pipe cleaner.
  • Use compressed air and a vacuum to clear holes.
  • Reapeat for the number of leveling pads.
  • Cover the holes with tape to protect from unwanted debris while the other holes are drilled.
  • Using the hammer [2] set the drop-in anchor [1] flush with the concrete [3].

    Note:  Do not use the set tool to drive the anchor.  
  • Use the provided setting tool [1] and hammer [2], to seat the anchor in the concrete.
  • Make sure that the anchors are seated flush [3], use the setting tool as a gauge.
    Note:  Be careful not to overdrive the anchor [4] to far inside the hole.

Machine Placement

  1. Once the anchors are set, place the leveling pads on the spraypainted cross-hairs.
  2. Place the machine on the leveling pads.
  3. Set the machine height.
  4. Level the machine
  5. Tighten down the machine locknuts.

Anchoring Strap Installation

  1. Place the thrust plate flush [1] with the foundation.
  2. Thread stud [2] into the anchor location using two lock nuts.
  3. Place 1/2-13 hex nut on the 1/2-13 hex bolt [3] on top of the thrust plate.
  4. Place the anchoring strap [4].
  5. Place the washer [5] on the threaded rod.
  6. Thread the 1/2-13 hex nut [6] into the threaded rod.
  7. Be sure the anchoring strap [7] remains parallel to the clamped casting surface.
  8. Torque 1/2-13 hex nut to 25ft-lbs (34 nm).
