CASE INSTALLATION 3
FLOOR PREP
1.
Ask the general contractor if your current copy of the
building dimensions are the most recently issued.
Also, ask for the points of reference from which you
should take dimensions to locate the cases.
2.
Using chalk lines or a laser transit, mark the floor
where the cases are to be located for the entire lineup.
The lines should coincide with the outside edges of the
case feet.
3.
Leveling is necessary to ensure proper case alignment
and to avoid potential case damage. Locate the high-
est point on the positioning lines as a reference for
determining the proper height of the shim-pack level-
ers. A laser transit is recommended for precision and
requires just one person.
4.
Locate basehorse positions along the chalk line. Spot
properly leveled shim packs at each basehorse loca-
tion. For narrow cases—ONRZ and ONRZH— place
shim packs under both the basehorses and kickplate
supports (Fig. 1).
LINE-UP & INSTALLATION
Single Case
1.
Roll the case into position, leaving a minimum of 2" be-
tween the wall and back of case. Using a “J” bar, raise
the end of the case (under cross support), remove the
caster assemblies (Fig. 2) and lower the basehorse on
to the shim packs. Repeat at other end.
2.
Once the basehorse is properly placed on the shim
packs, check the horizontal level by placing a bubble
level on the front sill. For the vertical plumb, repeat this
process by placing the bubble level on the case frame.
Add/remove shim packs as needed. NOTE: DO NOT
use doors as plumb reference; doors have a de-
signed setback. Use case frame for measurement.
Multi-Case
1.
Remove shelves and discard the shelf clips.
2.
Remove any loose items (shipping braces, mirror as-
semblies, etc.) from the cases that may interfere with
case joining. Keep all loose items as they will be
used later in the installation process.
3.
Remove the return air grill at the case joint. The grill
lifts out without fasteners and may be easily removed
to gain clear access to the case-to-case joining bolts.
4.
Follow the single-case installation instructions for the
first case, then position the next case in the line-up ap-
proximately 3’ away. Apply the foam tape gasket (sup-
plied) and beads of butyl or silicone sealant to one of
the adjoining case ends (Fig. 3). Remove the caster
assemblies.
5.
When the last casters are removed, pipe-rollers may
be used to help move the case. While the case is still
in a raised position, position the pipe-roller(s) near an
interior vertical support of the baseframe assembly,
then lower the case onto the pipe-roller(s). Be certain
that both the front and back baserails are resting on
the pipe-roller(s), since failure to do so may result in
case damage.
6.
Push the case to within 3-4 inches of the adjoining
case. Once the case is properly positioned, lift it at
the opposite end with the “J” bar in order to remove the
piperoller(s).

CAUTION!
Be certain that your hands and feet are
out of the way before lowering the case
after the removal of the casters. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury.
Fig. 2 Removing the casters is an easy process. Simply flatten and
remove the cotter pins that are holding the casters in place. Then
lift the case with a “J” bar and slide the caster assemblies out. The
dismantled casters can now be discarded.
