9.While an assistant lifts one side of the machine up, slide the front rail-bracket assembly from Step 7 under the machine, as shown in Figure 21.

Note: It may be necessary to re-adjust the position of the rails once the machine is actually on the base assembly.

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. Base plates should be constructed for tall or top heavy machines (see Page 12).

10.Mount each of the two fixed casters to the remaining corner brackets with the eight hole pattern using (4) M8-1.25 x 16 hex bolts, 8mm flat washers, 8mm lock washers and M8-1.25 hex nuts, as shown in Figure 22.

Orient the fixed casters so they point in the same direction that your machine will typically be moved (see Figure 23). Mounting the fixed casters in the wrong direction will make it difficult to move your mobile base.

Note: Patience is required when installing the fasteners inside the bottom of the fixed casters due to space constraints.
