shipping 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. Carefully,
lift case up and off the pallet. Remove dust cover.

Case Exterior Loading
These cases are not designed for excessive exter-
nal weight. DO NOT WALK ON THE TOP OF THE
CASES. Walking on top of cases could cause per-
sonal injury and damage to the case.
Leveling
To ensure proper operation of the refrigeration sys-
tem and drainage of the condensate, the case
MUST BE LEVEL. Use a carpenter level to level
front to back and side to side. Shim as necessary.
Drain, Electrical and Refrigeration
Connections on Remote Cases
1. Drains are located in the center of the case.
Connect PVC drains to existing floor drains.
Provide as much downhill slope as possible and
avoid long runs of drain lines. Do not install
condensate drains in contact with non-insulated
suction lines in order to prevent condensate
from freezing. Install the 1" PVC trap, which is
provided with the case. All drains must be
trapped.
Joining Lineups
1. Begin all lineups leveling from the highest point
of the store floor.
2. Remove front and rear toe kicks by removing
screws on all sides. Set and level first case.
3. Apply foam tape to facing ends of lineup. Level
second case to first case and seal with a good
grade silicone on all edges of each case.
4. Line up bottom boltholes in lower toe kicks (bolts
for these are located in the installation packet
inside the case) and line up bolt stud located in
top rear strut with bolthole in adjoining case.
Slide cases together. Insert lower bolts and
place nuts on bolts. Tighten securely.
THE FRONT OF THE CASES MUST BE FLUSH!
5. A top joining plate is also located in the canopy
of the case. Ensure that case is properly leveled
so that the screw holes in this plate align over
the screw holes in the adjoining case. Shim as
necessary.
6. Screw in top plate and ensure all bolts are
fastened tightly.
7. Seal all seams. Use metal U-channel located
inside case to seal and cover where interior
case beds join.
