- Use base or extractor to mark
locations to be drilled and the
perimeter of the extractor. Make
sure when positioning unit to
follow manual for recommended
distance left between the rear of
the unit and external structures
or objects to allow for
installation/servicing. - Move base/extractor and use a
masonry bit (for size see Drilling
Guide above) and heavy-duty
drill to drill out holes to listed
depths. For best results, use a
vacuum or compressed air to
remove as much debris from the
hole as possible.

point if using chemical anchor to

machine, ensuring it does not
make contact with anchor
hardware.

hardware and affix as per Drilling

- Remove excess grout and
clean base. (Best to do before
the machine is mounted so that
the grout doesn’t dry on the
base.)
