FLOORS ARE NOT LEVEL!!!
When
joining two or more merchandisers, all cases in
the lineup must be leveled on the same plane,
left to right and front to back. This means that
the entire lineup must be brought up to the
level of the highest merchandiser in the lineup.
Along the lines previously marked, find the
highest point of the floor by:
• Walking the floor and noticing any dips
or mounds;
• Using a string level or laser level; and
• Using a transit.
Leveling
Position the first merchandiser at the highest
point on the floor. Work outward from that
point to create the merchandiser line-up.
Use a 48 inch (1220 mm) or longer level for
end-to-end leveling. The discharge nosing of
the merchandiser is a good location for the
level at the rear of the merchandiser (center
of wide island), and the handrail or return
nosing is a good location for the level at
the front of the merchandiser. For leveling
the merchandiser front-to-rear, a 24 inch
(610 mm) level should be placed on the flange
of the merchandiser end frame. Suggested
level locations are shown in the following
illustrations on the next page.
Leveling Wall Merchandisers
Level the case by all four corners. Start at the
rear by placing the provided shims as needed
under each end of the rear base rail. The shims
are long enough to allow adjoining wall cases
to be leveled with the same shim.
When the
rear of the case is level end-to-end, move to the
front of the case.
Use shims as needed at each
front corner so that the front is also level from
end-to-end and front-to-rear.
The merchandiser should be solidly supported
at least every 4 feet (1220 mm). Once the
merchandiser is level, if any gaps are present
under the base rail, shims should be inserted
approximately in line with the center front
support legs to support the rear of the case. At
the front of the case, insert shims under each
of the center legs so that they support the front
of the merchandiser.
Remove Bolts from Front
A 3-inch space is required from walls
at rear and ends of merchandiser(s) to
prevent condensation.
