Setting and Joining
The sectional construction of these models enable them to
be joined in line to give the effect of one continuous display.
A joint trim kit is supplied with each joint.
Leveling
IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIvE THAT CASES BE
LEvELED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE
PRIOR TO JOINING. A LEvEL CASE IS NECESSARY
TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION, WATER DRAINAGE,
GLASS ALIGNMENT, AND OPERATION OF THE HINGES
SUPPORTING THE GLASS. LEvELING THE CASE
CORRECTLY WILL SOLvE MOST HINGE OPERATION
PROBLEMS.
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup
leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B. When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.
All cases were leveled and joined prior to shipment to
insure the closest possible fit when cases are joined in
the field. When joining, use a carpenters level and shim
legs accordingly. Case must be raised correctly, under legs
where support is best, to prevent damage to case.
1. Check level of floor where cases are to be set.
Determine the highest point of the floor; cases will
be set off this point.
2. Set first case, and adjust legs over the highest part
of the floor so that case is level. Prevent
damage-case must be raised under leg or by use
of x6 or x4 leg brace. Remove side and back leg
braces after case is set.
3. Set second case as close as possible to the
first case, and level case to the first using the
instructions in step one.
4. Apply masking tape 1/8” in from end of case on
inside and outside rear mullion on both cases to be
joined.
5. Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to
(dotted area shown in figure) first case. Apply heavy
amount to cover entire shaded area.
DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!
It is the contractor’s responsibility to install
case(s) according to local construction and
health codes
6. Slide second case up to first case snugly. Then level
second case to the first case so glass front, bumper
and top are flush.
7. Apply bead of silicone to side of either half of case
(if case is built in two pieces). Also apply silicone to
seam between overhead light tubes.
8. Slide second half up to first case snugly. To
compress silicone at joint, use two Jurgenson wood
clamps to pull the inside of the bulkheads together.
Make sure case is level from front to back and side
to side at joint. DO NOT USE BOLTS TO DRAW
CASES UP TIGHT! DAMAGE MAY OCCUR!
Make sure cases are tight and bolted together in all
locations (see diagram next page). Remove clamps.
Cleanup excess silicone.
9. There may be an interlock system built into the
tower, depending on the height of it. Joining involves
a number of bolts, again dependent on the height.
10. Attach joint trim pieces, that will hide the loose joint
where the case halves come together.
11. Connect case to field electrical, refrigeration, and
pipe to floor sink.
1. Install body covers.
13. Attach cart bumper, if applicable.
Splash Guard
After cases have been leveled and joined, and refrigeration,
electrical, and wasted piping work completed, install the
splashguards. Fasten along the top edge, or center, with
#10 X 3/3” sheet metal screws.
DO NOT SEAL JOINT TRIM TO FLOOR!
