INSTALLATION PROCEDURE CONCRETE PAD The concrete pad for operator mounting should be approximately 24"deep x24"wide x26"long in order to provide adequate weight and structure to insure proper and stable operation. Pad should be 6" above finished grade (street level) even with top of 6” curb if one is present. Be sure to position pad so that the operator mounting bolts are not too close to the edges of the concrete pad. See drawing on page 3A.
