Securing Machine to Mobile Base
Ifyouplantosecurethemachinetothemobilebase,use
one of the two methods shown in Figures 7-8,andmake
sure the fasteners do not touch the floor when installed.
Thethroughmountoption(seeFigure 7)isthestrongest.
However,itcanbedifficulttoinsertandtightenthefas-
tenersduetothelackofworkingspace.Tomakeinstal-
lationeasierwiththismethod,tryinsertingtheboltfrom
theundersideandfasteningthewashers/nutsfromabove.
The direct mount method (see Figure 8) is the easiest.
Uselagscrewsandflatwasherswiththeappropriate
diameterforthemountingholesinyourmachine.Secure
thelagscrewsthroughthemachinebaseandintothe
baseplate.Whenusingthismethod,considertheweight
and stability of the machine. If the machine is very top-
heavy,forcesappliedwhenmovingitmaycausethelag
screw threads to tear out of the base plate. If this seems
probablewithyoursetup,useathickerbaseplate.

Leveling Feet
Thelevelingfeetarelocatedonthebracketswiththe
foot pedals (see Figure 9). The feet are constructed with
a hex to adjust them up or down with a 12mm wrench.
Levelingthemachineisoptional,butitismandatory
tomakesurethelevelingfeetcontactthefloorwhen
thepedalisintheupposition;otherwise,themachine
mayrollunexpectedlyduringoperationandresultinan
accidental injury.

Foot Pedals
Thefootpedalsengageordisengagethecasters(see
Figure 9).Whenpresseddown,thecastersliftthebase
and allow the mobile base to roll. When the foot pedals
aremovedupward,themobilebaselowersontothe
levelingfeetandthecastersliftoffthefloor,which
preventsthemobilebasefromrolling.
Before operating machine, move foot pedal up
and make sure mobile base will not roll during
operation; otherwise, the machine could shift and
lead to accidental operator injury.
