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.
