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
