Included with your machine are five cast-iron feet and adjustment studs. These feet are easily installed and provide a quick and easy method for machine leveling.

Assembly

If you desire to use the mounting feet included with your machine, proceed as follows.

To assemble the machine:

1.Thread one jam nut on each foot stud, and apply lithium grease or similar to the threads on the studs to ensure that the studs will not rust inside of the base should water from floor cleaning activities pose a problem.

2.From the top down, thread each stud into the machine base until the ends emerge from the underside of the base.

3.Slide a foot under each stud, and thread each stud into its foot until it is fully seated.

4.Tighten each stud until the machine is positioned approximately 1⁄2" off of the floor, as shown in Figure 10.
