Machine Foundation
For machine foundation information for both UWPV
and UFPV models, refer to section in respective
installation/maintenance manuals.
For UFPV models with the Water Saving System, refer
to Table 1 for total floor load data.
Water Saving Tank Frame Foundation for
Pocket Hardmount Models (UWPV)
A proper frame foundation is absolutely necessary for
all UWPV washer-extractors with WSS because of the
water weight at elevated heights.
NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, above
ground level, or over basements. Installation must
be “slab on grade” or equal.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the tank frame 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 tank frame must be anchored to a smooth level
surface so that all four legs are supported and rest on
the mounting surface.
If the washer-extractor installation will include the
WSS, the elevated base must be designed to
accommodate the additional width of 4 inches on each
side of the washer-extractor and correct alignment.
Static washer-extractor, tank and frame load on the
floor or foundation is shown in Table 2.
