D2260A Mini Mobile Base Instructions
Mounting Machine onto Mobile Base
1.
Check to make sure all fasteners are tightened on
the mobile base.
2.
Check to make sure the machine will clear the side
rails all the way around the machine base.
— If the machine does not clear the side rails due to
an obstruction on the machine base, follow
Steps
1-4
in M
aking a Base Plate
on
Page 10.
By raising
the machine up with the plate, you may be able
to clear the obstruction.
3.
Using a forklift or other lifting help, lift the machine
into position onto the mobile base, making sure
the orientation of the machine matches that of the
base.
4.
Slowly lower the machine onto the corner bracket
pads (see
Figure 3
on
Page 2
).
5.
Check to make sure the machine is properly seated
on the pads, and that there is no sign of stress or
deflection in the mobile base.
— If there is any deflection or stress, immediately
remove the machine from the base and check
that all fasteners have been tightened and that
the base is properly assembled. If this does not
solve the problem, double check the weight
specification of the machine and make certain
it does not exceed the load limit listed in
Specifications

Using Mobile Base
1.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
With the machine mounted on the mobile base, turn
the knobs on the corner brackets counterclockwise
so the feet clear the floor by at least
1
⁄
8
".
— If the floor is uneven, retract the feet completely
to eliminate the chance of the pads dragging on
the floor.
3.
Check to make sure the pathway is clear of all
obstructions.
To avoid serious personal injury, keep
your hands and fingers clear of machine
base and mobile base pinch points
when placing the machine.
Lift heavy equipment carefully and with
the proper equipment. Get assistance
if needed to reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
To reduce risk of serious injury when
using this mobile base:
1.
LOCKING FEET.
Do not operate the
machine on the mobile base unless
both mobile base feet firmly con-
tact the floor and raise the base
enough to disable the casters.
Using the machine on the base
when it is not secured could result
in a loss of workpiece control.
2. TIPPING HAZARD. To avoid tipping
it over, push the machine and
base at the lowest possible point
and have an assistant stabilize the
machine if it is large.
3. PINCH HAZARD. Keep your hands
clear of any potential obstructions
between the machine you are
moving and other equipment or
tables that may protrude into the
path of travel.
4. MACHINE STABILITY. Test for sta-
bility after placing the machine in
its new location. Turn the knobs
down enough to move the feet
against the ground, then push on
the machine at several locations,
making sure it is not off balance.
