Laying the foundation plate - Cement foundation
If there is no cement flooring (or similar material) a cement*
foundation must be prepared. Proceed as follows:
1 - Dig a suitable hole (minimum 40x30cm, at last 35cm deep),
considering the measurements indicated in the previous para-
graph.
2 - Prepare the pipes for the passage of the electric cables
(see "Electric connections"), leaving the pipes longer by about
30/40cm (figure 4-ref.T).
3 - Bend the 4 threaded bars:
a) if the rack is pre-installed at a measurement greater than that
indicated in Figure 1, or in the case of possible water stagnation,
the foundation plate may have to be raised. In this case, bend
the bars at a height of about 45 mm as indicated in Figure 5.
b) if the motor will be fixed to the ground, bend the bars at a
height of about 30 mm as indicated in Figure 6.
4 - Prepare the plate for the cast, fixing the threaded bars.
With reference to Figure 7 use 4 lower support nuts D and 4
nuts F with the relative washers R to block the plate in posi-
tion. The position of the bars must be similar to that indicated
in figure 7.
5 - Prepare the cement following the manufacturer's indications.
In some cases it may be necessary to realise a metal cage to
make the foundation more stable.
6 - Sink the bars into the cement, paying attention to the level
of the plate and the parallelism with the leaf (figure 8).
7 - Wait for the cement cast to be reinforced.
8 - Remove the upper screws and washers, which will be suc-
cessively used to fix the gear motor.
9 - Figure 9 shows the plate when fixing is ultimated. If neces-
sary, it is now possible to raise the plate by a maximum of 20
mm, positioning 4 nuts and the relative washers under the plate,
as indicated in figure 10.
* If in doubt, contact qualified staff for realisation of the foun-
dation.
The plate must be tightly fixed to the ground, perfectly
levelled and parallel to the leaf.
