    5 The mounting-surface for the WAM should be designed to handle the large reaction forces generated at the base of the arm during high-acceleration operation. The WAM can be fastened to a prepared mounting-surface in several ways.  If you use four M10 or 3/8” screws, remove the base cover to access the four bolt holes in the base plate.  The holes are located on the base of the WAM according to Figure 18 and Figure 19. The plate thickness is 8mm.  If you use M12 screws, you can screw upwards from the opposite direction, eliminating the need to removing the base cover. Alternatively, the WAM can be mounted using the clamps provided in the maintenance kit. It is important that the mounting surface NOT be grounded to earth ground (see “Grounding” section below).
