II. RECEIPT INSPECTION

All Traulsen products are factory tested for performance 
and are free from defects when shipped.  The utmost care 
has been taken in crating this product to protect against 
damage in transit.  

You should carefully inspect your unit for damage during 
delivery.  If damage is detected, you should save all the 
crating materials and make note on the carrier’s Bill Of 
Lading describing the damage.  A freight claim should be 
filed immediately.  If damage is subsequently noted during 
or immediately after installation, contact our customer care 
team to file a freight claim.  There is a fifteen (15) day limit 
to file freight damage with the carrier.  Under no condition 
may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen without first 
obtaining written permission (return authorization).  

You 

may contact Hobart/Traulsen customer care at 800-

333-7447 to request a return or file a claim.

III. a-LOCATION:

Select a proper location for your unit, away from extreme 
heat or cold.  Allow enough clearance between the unit 
and the side wall in order to make use of the door stay 
open feature at 120

0

 (self-closing feature operates up to 

90

0

).  The door must be able to open a minimum of 90

0

 in 

order to make use of the maximum clear door width.  Al-
low a minimum of 12 inches (high) above the cabinet for 
proper air circulation.

III. b-PACKAGING:

Your Traulsen unit is shipped from the factory bolted to a 
sturdy wooden pallet in stretch wrapped material.

Most exterior stainless steel surfaces have a protective  
vinyl covering to prevent scratching during manufactur-
ing, shipping and installation.  After the unit is installed in 
place of application  peel, remove and discard the covering 
from all surfaces.

To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we 
suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet dur-
ing all transportation to the point of final installation.  The 
bolts can then be removed with a 1/2” socket wrench.  
Avoid laying the unit on its front, side or back for removal 
of the pallet.

NOTE: 

Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit on 

its front, side or back.  If you must, please allow the unit to 
remain in an upright position for 24 hours before plugging it 
in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may settle.

III. INSTALLATION

III. INSTALLATION (cont’d)

III. c-INSTALLING/ADJUSTING LEGS OR

        CASTERS:

To install legs or casters, slide leg or caster into the caster chan-
nel from the side of the unit without the refrigeration system.  

To adjust the legs or casters, loosen the two bolts and move 
leg or caster to desired location, spacing between leg or caster 
not to exceed 39 inches.  Leg or caster on each end of the unit 
can not exceed 8 inches from the end of the cabinet. 

NOTE:

 Traulsen recommends to position legs or casters under 

the mullion when possible. 

III. d-CORD & PLUG:

All self-contained models are shipped standard with a NEMA 
5-15P plug and 9 foot cord .  Select only a dedicated electrical 
outlet for power source.

                       Do not cut or remove the round grounding    

prong from the plug. Do not use an extension cord.

III. e-POWER SUPPLY:

The supply voltage should be checked prior to connection to 
be certain that proper voltage for the cabinet wiring is available 
(refer to the serial tag to determine correct unit voltage, see 
page 1).  Make connections in accordance with local electrical 
codes.  Use qualified electricians.

Use of a separate, dedicated circuit is required.  Size wiring 
to handle indicated load and provide necessary over current 
protector in circuit (see amperage requirements on the unit’s 
serial tag).
