INSTALLATION OF CASTORS OR
OPTIONAL LEGS
Important Safeguard for installation of leg/castor.
SECURING CASTORS
To obtain maximum strength and stability of the unit, it is important
that you make sure each castor is secure. The bearing race on the
castor or the top edge of the leg must make firm contact with the rail.
LEVELING SHIMS
Four leveling shims have been provided for leveling castored units
positioned on uneven floors. Shims must be positioned between rail
end and bearing race.
A. Turn the bearing race counter-clockwise until the cabinet is
level. Level front to back and side to side. (diagonally)
B. Install the desired number of shims, making sure the slot of the
shim is in contact with the threaded stem of the castor. See
image 2.
C. If more than one shim is used, turn the slot at a 90° angle so
they are not in line.
D. Turn the bearing race clockwise to tighten and secure the
castor by tightening the anchoring bolt with a 3/4 inch open-
end wrench or the tool provided. See image 1.
CAUTION: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO LOWER RAIL
ASSEMBLY, SLOWLY RAISE UNIT TO UPRIGHT
POSITION.
NOTE: OPEN HOLES LOCATED ON THE CROSS
MEMBERS OF THE FRAME RAIL SHOULD BE
PLUGGED BEFORE UNIT IS IN USE.
SEALING CABINET TO FLOOR
STEP 1
- Position Cabinet -
When positioning cabinet into a final
location make sure there are no obstructions in front of the intake
and exhaust areas. These areas are located in the front and back of
the cabinet.
STEP 2
- Level Cabinet - Cabinet should be level, side to side and
front to back. Place a carpenter’s level in the interior floor in four
places:
A. Position level in the inside floor of the unit near the doors.
(Level should be parallel to cabinet front). Level cabinet.
B. Position level at the inside rear of cabinet. (Again level should
be placed parallel to cabinet back).
C. Perform similar procedures to steps A & B by placing the level
on inside floor (left and right sides - parallel to the depth of the
cooler). Level cabinet.
STEP 3
- Draw an outline on the base on the floor.
STEP 4
- Raise and block the front side of the cabinet.
STEP 5
- Apply a bead of “NSF Approved Sealant”, (see list below),
to floor on half inch inside the outline drawn. The bead must be heavy
enough to seal the entire cabinet surface when it is down on the
sealant.
STEP 6
- Raise and block the rear of the cabinet
STEP 7
- Apply sealant on floor as outlined in Step 5 on other
three sides.
STEP 8
- Examine to see that cabinet is sealed to floor around
entire perimeter.
NOTE:
Asphalt floors are very susceptible to chemical attack. A
layer of tape on the floor prior to applying the sealant will protect
the floor.
