D2057A, D2058A, D2260A Mobile Base Instructions
Preparation for Assembly
There is more than one way to assemble the mobile
base. Each method has advantages and disadvantages,
depending on the size and weight of the machine that
you plan to put on the mobile base. The purpose of this
section is to help you decide which method will work best
for your situation.
If the machine can be lifted, the easiest method is to
assemble the mobile base according to the dimensions of
your machine, and then lift and place the machine on the
corner bracket pads of the mobile base (see Page 5).
If the machine is top heavy or has a narrow base (such as
a drill press), there is an increased risk when moving it
around on a mobile base. To reduce the risk, a mounting
base plate should be used between the mobile base and
machine (see Page 12).
If the machine is too heavy to lift into position on the
mobile base, then the base can be built around the
machine. For instructions on how to build the base around
the machine, refer to Page 8.
Note: Anything extending or opening outward within a 3"
high band (see Figure 8) around the base of the machine
may interfere with the installation of the machine on the
base, so be sure to account for that prior to assembly.
Lift heavy machinery carefully and with
the proper equipment. Get assistance
if needed to reduce the risk of lifting
injuries.
