Replacing casters with levelling legs
The leveling leg will not fit into the caster hole.
The caster hole is designed to accept a 3/8” bolt. The MFT leveling leg has an M12 stem that is about ½” dia.
The customer has the following option.
- To buy leveling legs in a local hardware store with a 3/8” stud, plus an additional 3/8” nut for each leg.
- Remove both: caster and MFT leveling leg.
- Install purchased leveling legs instead of casters.
- Place the unit in a desired location. Using 2 nuts on each leg level the unit.
The leveling legs from the store are supposed to be rated for a minimum 1000 lbs load capacity.
