ahha Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thats the problem.. as far as the lug nut goes on to the screw is just to the edge of it.. the lug nut doesnt go all the way on the screw as if it is to small for the screw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Where did you buy your stand from? Use a Socket wrench to tighten them. They get tight toward the top so people cant use there fingers to un-tighten them and take your machine. If the nut is for some reason to small, just take your bolt to the hardware store, and get the men to size the nut for you (the nut should be the same size, as I have never had that problem).

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I am having a hard time following you. 1. Place the base of the machine onto the top of the stand. 2. Line up the holes. 3. Put the two BOLTS threw the holes in the base of the machine, and the stand. And then take the two nuts and attach them to the two bolts. 4. Take a socket wrench and tighten the nuts all the way up the bolt. 5. Your machine is attached to its stand, and ready for placement. If you need a loctation for your machine: Call or Email KickStart Locations, ask for Rob. 1-800-640-3598 or robertnpatterson@gmail.com Tell him that Kyle said to give you $5 off your 1st location. He will get you a $27 location! http://www.kickstartlocations.com/main.sc Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug D Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The nuts are called lock nuts. You can only hand tighten them a couple of turns & then you need a wrench on one end & a screwdriver on the other. If they don't tighten with a wrench, there's something wrong. -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Im not being smart here but are you using wrenches? If they gave you a lock nut it will not screw down without them. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then i am trying to place the lil ring (lug nut or whateve it is called) and then the screw . And screw in Correct? well the lil ring (lugnut wont budge enough to screw in. So that I can screw the whole thing into the machine. The machine has no grooves in the holes so i am guessing that is the purpose of the lug nut. IN my pee brain I think the the the lil ring lug nut is to small for the screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 BTW. Put the the bolt in from the bottom and the nut on top. It will keep kids from unscrewing them under the machine. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserri Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Top view... Note to Big Mike, I agree with putting the nuts inside the machine. These pics are for illustrative purposes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahha Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Top view... Thank you so much for the pics.. you know how us girly girls are ..where is my man i dont have.. Anyways So it would be easy for someone just to wrench off the nut take the machine off the stand and away they go? any way to keep that from happening better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways So it would be easy for someone just to wrench off the nut take the machine off the stand and away they go? any way to keep that from happening better As Big Mike said, Keep the nuts inside the machine. That way even if someone tried to un-screw the screws from the bottom, the lock nut inside should just spin with the screw, thus not allowing them to unscrew it completely. Just remember though, If someone wants your machine bad enough, they will take it. Stand and all. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
