With Level Base (LB) Frame 1. Site Prep Use wood forms to prepare a recess in the concrete a minimum 3/4 depth to final finished floor surface. Recess should be made to overall size of unit, plus a 1/16 on all sides of the recess to allow for clearance. Ensure the LB frames exposed surface will be flush with the finished floor. After concrete has cured, remove the wood forms. (See Illustration B) below. 2. Assemble Frame Assemble the level base frame utilizing the corner locks provided. The ends of the frame pieces have been pre-mitered to allow for quick assembly.(see Illustration A) Illustration A 3. Set Frame Set the frame assembly in the formed recess. Shim the frame as required 24 o.c. to elevate the frame assembly to finished floor height. Before fastening, double check the finished floor surface height, and ensure that frame assembly is both plumb and square. Drill a pilot hole in the concrete every place there is a factory hole in the frames. Install each 3/16 masonry anchors. (anchors and bit included in hardware package) Clean the concrete recess to remove all dirt, oily film, and debris. Illustration B

With Level Base (LB) Frame 4. Grout Grout the concrete pit surface to bring bottom of recess flush with top of lower frame leg using a waterproof self-leveling grout. Recommended brands: Quikrete #1585 mixed with #8610 Acrylic Fortifier For technical assistance, call Quikrete @ 800-282-5828, www.quikrete.com VinylCrete with Acrylic Fortifier For technical assistance, call UMACO Inc @ 978-453-8881 www.umaco.com Pour and level grout using the legs within the frame opening as screed points. Important: the bed surface must be smooth and level to ensure proper mat installation, alignment, and to prevent tripping hazards. Illustration C Allow the grout material sufficient time to cure properly before inserting the Pedimat, Pedimat AA, or Treadline within the framed opening. 5. Mat Installation Unroll mat into the recess. To ensure a proper fit, trim the end vinyl on the leading and trailing ends equally with a utility knife.(illustration D) Illustration D

With Level Base (LB) Frame 6. Completion It is necessary to cover the installation with ¾ plywood until all additional project work is completed. This will protect the Peditred from potential abuse during the construction phase. Damage occurring from inadequate protection during this phase may void the manufacturer s warranty. 7. Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions Manufacturer s suggested safe rolling load for the Pedimat, Pedimat AA and Treadline is 350# per wheel. Heavy loads beyond this weight may damage the units, contributing to their premature failure or creating a tripping hazard. Never roll the unit too tightly, or stack heavy objects on a rolled unit Vacuum surface regularly with beater brush attachment to allow contact with various surfaces of entrance flooring. Before deep cleaning the surface, roll unit back to remove dirt collected underneath as needed. Dirt should be removed with professional vacuum cleaner and should not be allowed to build up to the point where a level mat surface is affected. Deep clean quarterly, either by removing unit to an area where it can be cleaned with a power washer (on light setting to avoid carpet damage) or. Shampoo the unit in place (soap/water extraction) It is recommended that shampooing take place overnight to allow carpet fibers to dry thoroughly before heavy traffic resumes. Suggestions for pre-treating the area prior to shampooing Remove gum or other sticky substance by applying a commercial freeze spray to the affected area. This should allow the residue to break off easily. For ground-in dirt showing in high traffic areas, add one cup of bleach per gallon of warm water and use stiff brush to pre-treat carpet fibers. If aluminum needs cleaned, use stiff nylon bristle brush to clean with shampoo mixture prior to shampooing entire unit. To achieve the most effective suction of the shampooer, run the wand perpendicular to the rails and not along the length of the carpet strips. Take care when mopping surrounding floor area. Keep mop away from mat or grid. The aggressive texture of the carpet inserts may grab lint when the mop comes in contact, potentially causing unsightly lint collection at edges of unit. Replacement inserts are available: See www.impactspecialties.com or call 1-888-424-6287 for more information and for contact information for your local representative.

With Pedimat with Tapered Angle (TNG) Frame 1. Site Prep Use wood forms to prepare a recess in the concrete an exact 1/2 depth to final finished floor surface. Recess should be made to overall size of unit, plus a 1/16 on all sides of the recess to allow for clearance. Ensure the Tapered Angle frames exposed surface will be flush with the finished floor. After concrete has cured, remove the wood forms. (See Illustration A) below. 2. Velcro Anchor Application Instructions (Mats over 144 Wide) See Illustration A Assemble the tapered angle frame. The ends of the frame pieces have been premitered to allow for quick assembly. 3. Assemble Frame Set the frame assembly in the formed recess. Before fastening, double check the finished floor surface height, and ensure that the frame assembly is both plumb and square. Install 3/16 masonry anchors into the factory-predrilled holes. (anchors and bit included in hardware package) Clean the concrete recess to remove all dirt, oily film, and debris. Illustration A 4. Mat Installation Unroll mat into the recess. To ensure a proper fit, trim the end vinyl on the leading and trailing ends equally with a utility knife. (Illustration B). Illustration B

With Pedimat with Surface Mounted Tapered Vinyl Frame 1. Site Prep Clean the floor surface to remove all dirt, oily films, and debris. 2. Velcro Anchor Application Instructions (Mats over 144 Wide) See Illustration A Clean the area on the back of the rail to receive the hook and loop fastener. Alcohol or a similar solvent is suggested. It is necessary to remove the center leg on Treadline or Pedimat units. Peel the backing from the hook portion of the fastener and locate at 18 (.46M) o.c. near the rail edge. Clean the area of the floor to receive the loop portion of the fastener. Secure the Velcro to the floor with a masonry anchor at each end. This should fall directly under the hook portion installed. While lifting one edge of the unit, slide it over so when you lay it down, the loop portion will interlock with the hook. All other sections should be rolled into place gradually, lining the rails up between the Velcro patches.) Illustration A
