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.
