FLOOR PREP
1.
Ask the general contractor if your current copy of the build-
ing dimensions are the most recently issued. Also, ask for
the points of reference from which you should take dimen-
sions to locate the cases.
2.
Using chalk lines or a laser transit, mar
k the fl oor where
the cases are to be located for the entire lineup. The lines
should coincide with the outside edges of the case feet.
3.
Move case as close as possible to its permanent location.
Remove all crating and shipping braces above the ship-
ping 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.
4.
The power cord shipping brace (Fig. 1) can be removed
with a screw gun. As for case shipping braces, the same
would be applied with sled runner or caster constrction.
If the braces are metal brackets or locks they can be
removed with a screw gun. If they are wood blocks they
can be removed with a J-bar.
Note: Shipping braces are
normally located at each corner of the case. Some case
models with casters will use bracing that surrounds the
cas
ters entirely and some will use braces that affi x to
the toekicks at each corner. (Shipping braces used vary
and are based on case design for best transport.)
5.
Carefully, if horizontal supports, lift case up and off the
pallet. Remove dust cover. Installation hardware ships in
a marked packet located inside the case. Remove dust
cover. Installation hardware ships in a marked packet
located inside the case. (Hillphoenix self-contained display
cases are sometimes designed with casters. In most
situations, one or two persons can easily move the case
into position.) If there are casters simply roll them on to
LOCATION
This refrigerated display case has been designed for displaying
and storing perishable food product. It is engineered for air-
conditioned stores with a maximum ambient of 75°F and 55%
relative humidity.
When selecting the location for placement of this case, avoid
the following conditions:
Excessive Air Movement
1.
Doors
2.
Air-conditioned vents
3.
Other air sources
Excessive Heat
1.
Windows
2.
Sun
3.
Flood lamps 8 feet or less from the product
4.
Other heat sources
the store fl oor to the proper staging area. First remove
all crating then all sled runner, caster, and/or power cord
shipping braces. (Dependent on case design.)

Leveling is necessary to ensure proper operation of the
refrigeration system and drainage of the condensate.
Locate the highest point on the positioning lines as a ref-
erence for determining the proper height of the shim-pack
levelers. A laser transit is recommended for precision and
requires just one person. Level adjustable feet by twisting,
if applicable, or shim as necessary under vertical station-
ary or caster supports as this will help ensure that the
case is not settling over time.
7.
Locate horizontal or vertical (caster) support positions
along the chalk line (Fig. 2). Spot properly leveled shim
packs at each support location.
8.
(SLED RUNNERS) If necessary, drill a hole in each end of
every horizontal support (Fig. 3) and fasten to the fl oor
with concrete anchors.
Note: The holes do not need to be
in the exact locations specifi ed here. Be sure that the
anchors are close to the end of the horizontal supports
and at each corner of the case.
C A U T I O N
Failure to properly level the case could result in
lack of proper condensation drainage leading to
failure of the unit.
