Installation
Machine Foundation
A proper foundation is absolutely necessary
for all UWPV washer-extractors because
of the high extract speed and the G-forces
exerted.
Do not mount on wooden floors, above
Note:
ground level, or over basements. Installation
must be "slab on grade" or equal.
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with
all foundation work to ensure a stable unit
installation, eliminating possibilities of
excessive vibration during extract.
CAUTION
Ensure that the machine is installed on a
level floor of sufficient strength and that the
recommended clearances for inspection
and maintenance are provided. Never allow
the inspection and maintenance space to
be blocked.

The washer-extractor must be anchored to a
smooth level surface so that the entire base of
the machine is supported and rests on the
mounting surface. (Do not support the washer-
extractor on only four points.)
A concrete base designed to elevate the
washer-extractor to a comfortable and more
accessible height for loading and unloading
laundry may be used. Care must be exercised
in the design of such a base due to the force
exerted by the machine during extract. This
base must be adequately tied in to the
existing floor.
If the washer-extractor installation
Note:
will include the Premium Wet Clean Module,
the elevated base must be designed to
accommodate the additional depth of
24 inches.
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or
foundation are shown in the table below. This
table can be used as a reference when
designing floors and foundations.
