4. Position the swivel casters on the "front" or side from
which the machine will typically be pushed (see
Figure 12).
Note: Wipe a light coat of machine oil onto the top,
bottom, and sides of the rail ends before the next
step to make it easier to slide the rails into the
brackets and simplify later adjustments.
6. Adjust the assembly so the inside dimension fits the
footprint of your machine.
5. Slide each side rail inside a corner bracket, as shown
in Figure 13.

brackets (casters removed for clarity).

Note: Side rails may be cut down to accommodate
machines with smaller footprints. However,
reducing the length of the mobile base decreases
stability and increases the likelihood of tipping tall
or top heavy machines. Instead, tall or top heavy
machines should be mounted on a base plate (see
Page 12).
Do not extend the corner brackets beyond the "MAX"
line marked on the rails (see Figure 14). Extending
the brackets beyond the maximum line may weaken
the rail-bracket connections and damage the mobile
base.
