D2260A Mini Mobile Base Instructions

Preparation

The machine base must sit on the four corner brackets of 

the mobile base shown in 

Figure 3

To prepare the mobile base for assembly, do these 

steps:

1.

  If you haven't already done so, make sure the 

weight and footprint size of your machine are within 

the specifications of the mobile base shown in 

Specifications

 on 

Page 1

.

 

Note: 

Anything extending outward within a 2" high 

band (see 

Figure 4

) around the base of the machine 

may interfere with the installation of the machine 

on the base, so be sure to account for that during 

assembly. 

— If the weight and footprint size of your machine 

do not exceed the specifications of the mobile 

base, go to 

Step 2

.

   — If the weight and footprint size of your machine 

are not within the specifications of the Model 

D2260A mobile base, DO NOT attempt to mount 

your machine onto this base. Choose a larger Shop 

Fox mobile base, such as the Model D2057A or 

D2058A, that will accommodate the footprint of 

your machine. 

— If the footprint of the machine is too small for 

the mobile base, complete 

Steps 2-3

, assemble 

the mobile base, then follow the instructions in 

Making a Base Plate

 on 

Page 10

2. 

Determine which end of the machine you want to 

swivel. 

 

Note:

 

It is usually most convenient to mount the 

swivel casters to the side of the machine that will 

be pushed. This provides the greatest degree of 

maneuverability and control. 

— If a long and narrow configuration is required, 

such as with a jointer or edge sander, it is best to 

mount the swivel casters on one of the short ends.
