  2. Locate the fill port cap (corner nearest the product label) and ensure it is securely pressed into the pad and then tip the pad onto its corner where the plug is located. This process should shift the powdered gelling agent contained inside the pad towards the filled corner.QwikProducts QT8036 QwikPad for Condensers - corner nearest the product label

  3. Place the QwikPad™ for Condensers on level, the compacted ground where equipment is to be installed (or on top of existing, level concrete pad).

  4. Remove fill port cap. Insert a garden hose into fill port and fill QwikPad™ for Condensers to the top with tap water.
    Do not overfillOverfilling may result in loss of a portion of the gelling agent. Replace fill port cap.QwikProducts QT8036 QwikPad for

installations 2 • Insert anchors into the hole located on the outer edge of the pad.
    • Using a 1” wrench, turn the anchor clockwise while pushing down on top of the anchor.
    • Continue driving anchor down until anchor head meets the pad.
    Do not over-tighten.
    • When using ground anchors, install them on opposite sides (see example at right).
    •NEVER INSTALL AN ANCHOR IN THE CENTER HOLE.
    Concrete Anchor (QT8111) Installation:

Anchor• With the pad in place, drill four (4) holes in concrete to 1.375” minimum depth, centrally located in anchor holes using a 3/16” masonry bit (included in QT8111). Center the drill bit in the anchor holes.
    • Secure pad using four (4) 1/4” x 4” concrete anchors with fender washers. (included).

  6. Place the equipment onto the QwikPad™ for Condensers and center.
