SQ08-SQ40 Mechanical Installation Manual

Concrete Pad Foundation for the Dryer

IMPORTANT! The Dryer should be mounted on a level 5'' [12.7 cm] thick-reinforced concrete slab.

The concrete pad design is based on 3000 pounds psf [143.7 kPa] soil bearing capacity. For soils with lower capacity, consult the Brock Grain Systems Engineering department at the Frankfort, Indiana, location. See the Concrete Pad drawing below. Use these Figures to position the Dryer before it is installed. The Dryer must be properly anchored so it will not blow over in excessive winds.

IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the Contractor, Installer, Owner and Operator to supplement the Dryer furnished by Brock Grain Systems with any necessary ELECTRICAL or STRUCTURAL items to make the Dryer installation comply with the National Electric Code, National Electric Safety Code, OSHA, and all other applicable federal, state and local laws and ordinances.

Do not mount the Dryer on concrete blocks, which can be unstable. Failure to follow this instruction could result in death, serious injury, and or damage to the Dryer and other equipment.
