CASE INSTALLATION

FLOOR PREP

1. 

Ask the general contractor if your current copy of the build-
ing dimensions are the most recently issued.  Also, ask for 
the points of reference from which you should take dimen-
sions to locate the cases.

2. 

Using chalk lines or a laser transit, mar

k the fl oor where 

the cases are to be located for the entire lineup.  The lines 
should coincide with the outside edges of the case feet.

3. 

Move case as close as possible to its permanent location.  
Remove all crating and shipping braces above the ship-
ping pallet.  Loosen the plastic dust cover from the pallet, 
but leave cover over the case to protect it while removing 
the case from the pallet.  Carefullly, lift case up and off the 
pallet.  Remove dust cover.  Istallation hardware ships in a 
marked packet located inside the case.

4. 

Leveling is necessary to ensure proper operation of the 
refrigeration system and drainage of the condensate.  
Locate the highest point on the positioning lines as a ref-
erence for determining the proper height of the shim-pack 
levelers.  A laser transit is recommended for precision and 
requires just one person.  Level adjustable feet by twisting, 
if appliacble, or shim as necessary under vertical supports 
as this will help ensure that the case is not settling over 
time.

5. 

Locate horizontal support (Fig. 1) positions along the chalk 
line. Spot properly leveled shim packs at each support 
location.

removing from pallet.  Failure to do so will dam-
age the fi nished metal if correct lift points are 
not identifi ed prior to removal.

LINE-UP & INSTALLATION

Single Case

1. 

Move the case into position.  Using a “J” bar, raise the end 
of the case (under cross support), and lower the horizontal 
support on to the shim packs.  Repeat on the other end of 
the case.

2. 

Once the case is properly placed on the shim packs, 
check the vertical plumb of the case by placing a bubble 
level on the rear wall.  Add/remove shim packs as needed.  
For the horizontal level, repeat this process after placing 
the bubble level on the front sill.

3. 

Install the bumper, if applicable, into pre-attached bumper 
track and snap into place.

4. 

After suffi cient time has passed to allow for bumper 
shrinkage, cut away the excess bumper for fi nal fi t and fi n-
ish.  Be certain to use an appropriate cutting tool (tubing- 
or PVC-cutter) to ensure a smooth cut. 

5. 

Install case shelves and reconnect lights.  Be aware that 

W A R N I N G

Be  certain  that  your  hands  and  feet  are  out  of
