Ideas for anchoring condensor unit

I'm noticing the condensor unit is tippy and might need some anchoring down. We get occasional heavy winds and I'm not comfortable leaving it as is. I'm afraid it is going to rock back and forth, maybe even fall off a leg if the wind gets blowing hard enough. For sure it can't be good for it.

The pad is an E Lite Equipment pad and made of plastic, and hollow underneath. Not very solid for this application if you ask me.

A couple of ideas i'm kicking around is to support the unit with some wood, pull the pad out and slide a 24 x 24 concrete paver back under it with liquid nails applied to all surfaces. the other idea is to replace it with some pressure treated wood 6 x6 and 4x4.

I'm open to any suggestions how I can anchor this down better?

PS, Yes the lineset is already brazed in place, I realize I have to keep the heat pump unit at the same height.

Thanks in advance...
