6.5. DIMENSIONS AND POSITIONING RISERS

When a riser is used, use a U-profile, respecting always the max. height and min. thickness given for each

model in the table. The width and the depth should be, as a minimum, the same as the washer footprint

dimension. It is recommended to add 1/4” / 6 mm to all dimensions. For MFR40/50/60 when the highest riser

is used, it is highly recommended to add a U-profile reinforcement between left and right U-profile at the

distance of the mid hole fixation.

The horizontal member of the U-profile needs to have a width equal with the touching frame profile, at least

10 mm / 0.4” over the fixing hole of the frame profile.

Before fixing the riser, please Read again the “GENERAL” of this chapter.

The fixation of the riser to the concrete floor needs to be the exact same way and condition of the washer as

described above. This also means that the riser needs to be fixed to the floor with the same quantity of

anchoring bolts as the washer is fixed to the riser and in the same locations. Additional anchoring bolts are

allowed on places where it does not reduce the strength of the riser or concrete pad.

CAUTION: Be aware that some floor data given in the table will change when the risers are being used.

Contact your structural engineer for floor and foundation conditions and adapted floor data in

accordance with the riser being used.

Do not use risers higher then indicated in the table
