CASE INSTALLATION
MOVING CASES
Hillphoenix display cases are generally shipped to
stores with casters installed on the base frame. The
casters make the job of moving cases easier for
everyone involved in the shipping and installation
process, as well as reducing the chance of damage
from raising and lowering cases with ”J” bars to
place them on dollies, skates or rollers. In most
situations, one or two persons can easily move the
case into position.
When the cases arrive at the store, simply roll them on to
the store floor to the proper staging area. Occasionally,
cases are shipped with skid boards attached to help with
stabilization. In these instances, the casters should be at-
tached after the case is removed from the truck.
Removing the casters is an easy process. Simply flatten
and remove the cotter pins that are holding the casters in
place (see Fig. 1). Then lift the case with a “J” bar and
slide the caster assemblies out. The dismantled casters
can now be discarded.
FLOOR PREP
1. Ask the general contractor if there have been changes
in the building dimensions since the print you are using
was 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
base frame.
3. Leveling is necessary to ensure proper case alignment
and to avoid potential damage. Locate the highest
point on the positioning line as a reference for deter-
mining the proper height of the shim-pack levelers. A
laser transit is recommended for precision and requires
just one person.
4. Locate the position of the base frame and spot properly
leveled shim packs at the appropriate locations.
LINE-UP & INSTALLATION
1. Remove anything from the cases that may interfere
with case joining (eg. shipping braces).
2. Roll the first case into position. Using a “J” bar , raise
the end of the case (under cross support), remove the
casters, and place the base frame on the shim packs.
Repeat on the other end of the case.
3. Once the base frame is properly placed on the shim
packs, check the vertical level by placing a bubble level
plumb to the rear edge of the case; then add/remove
shim levels as needed. To check the horizontal level,
repeat this process after placing the bubble level on
the rear sill.
4. If seismic brackets were ordered, see Appendix F for
detailed installation instructions.
TRIM OUT
Attach the front panel to the baseframe using the screws
provided.
Fig. 1 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.

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.
