Mounting the Frame on a Concrete Floor
To mount the frame on a concrete floor, use the following procedure.
- Determine the frame location and ensure that the front and rear aisles at that location meet the recommended minimum widths shown in Figure 6. Mark the location with the installation template, as shown.
- Place the installation template on the concrete floor at the location just chosen, and use it to mark the concrete for the four mounting holes as shown in Figure 7.
- Set aside the installation template and drill four mounting holes in the concrete at the marks just made, as shown in Figure 8.
- Thread the washer and torque nuts onto the threaded rod, as shown in Figure 9. Insert the anchor bolt assembly into the hole. The washer should touch the top of the anchor sleeve. Tap the anchor bolt assembly with a hammer until the washer touches the concrete.
- Pre-torque the anchor bolt to approximately 30 foot-pounds (41 Newton meters). Refer to Figure 10.
- Loosen the torque nuts several turns, and then remove the torque nut and washer, as shown in Figure 11.
