German term or phrase: Stellfüßen
"Transportkufe entfernen:
· Lösen der Kontermutter an den ***Stellfüßen***, zwischen Transportkufe und Schrank.
· Schrank von vorne oder hinten mit dem Hubwagen anheben.
· Transportkufe in Richtung Schrankmitte herausziehen.
· Der Schrank kann jetzt langsam auf die ***Stellfüße*** abgelassen werden."

More safety cabinet transport stuff. Does anyone know what "Stellfüße" might be? The dictionaries - at least, the ones I have access to - again seem to be silent on the matter. TIA for your help.

mounts
Explanation:
Yes, this is always a tough one without being able to look at a picture. Langenscheidt translates it as machine mount. Sometimes they're just feet.
