Safety Instructions for Mobile Bases
1.
Be careful when moving to limit any finger pinch points.
2.
Place base on a level surface and adjust levelers before placing the machine in position. This should keep the
machine from rocking, while testing it for stability.
3.
Test the stability in both the up (on the casters) and the down positions. Exercise caution when testing the
stability of top heavy machines (drill presses, band saws, etc.).
4.
Unplug any power tool before moving or repositioning your tool.
5.
Always test your set-up for stability and safety after repositioning.
6.
Care should be taken when planning the orientation of the machine onto the Universal Mobile Base. Transfer
the weight off of the levelers to the casters will result in the machine tilting 1/2" toward the fixed wheels. When
positioning top heavy tools such as a drill press or band saw, take advantage of the center of gravity, and
position so that it will remain stable while on casters.
7.
Never use your machine without engaging the floor locks and foot locks. Always lower the machine onto the
non-skid levelers before operating.
8.
When moving, always push the base, not the machine.
Assembly Instructions
Tools required: Tools required: Adjustable wrench,
tape measure.
1. Unpack and identify all components and hardware.
Make sure there are no missing parts and
that there is no shipping damage.
Note: Read instructions thoroughly before proceeding.
2. Carefully measure the footprint of your machine (or
whatever you are mobilizing) and add about 1" to the
dimension. (1" allows clearance for the fasteners). Keep
in mind the base adjusts in 1" increments.
3. Carefully review assembly examples shown below to
help you determine the fixed wheel, caster and leveler
placement. As these are examples only, you must
determine what best suits your particular machine's
requirements for stability.
