too funny.. their instructions in the box are .. um? incorrect or missleading?
who would want the unit to be mounted 'loose' and vibrating around????????
isolators seemthe way to go.. wood, robber or something... a vibrating unit will eat a bolt head off.. or hog the hole in the feet out eventually.. and hammer a divot into the concrete. IMHO.. poor choice on qunicy's part to suggest that..![]()

Something that vibrates will eventually destroy one thing or another if it is too tightly restrained (e.g. tightly bolted to concrete). Sooner or later something will break. Bigger bolt? More concrete? Then the bracket will eventually break. I'm no engineer, but I agree that rubber mounts, or the wood pallet are probably the best way to go. Something has to be flexible enough to absorb the vibration.
