II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
All Traulsen products are factory tested for performance
and are free from defects when shipped. The utmost
care has been taken in crating this product to protect
against damage in transit. All interior fittings have been
carefully secured and the legs or casters are boxed and
strapped inside to prevent damage. Door keys will be
attached to the handle with a nylon strip. The handle is
protected by an easily removable nylon netting.
You should carefully inspect your Traulsen unit for
damage during delivery. If damage is detected, you
should save all the crating materials and make note on
the carrier’s Bill Of Lading describing this. A freight claim
should be filed immediately. If damage is subsequently
noted during or immediately after installation, contact
the respective carrier and file a freight claim. Under no
condition may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen.
without first obtaining written permission (return
authorization).
III. INSTALLATION
III. a - LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away from
extreme heat or cold. Allow enough clearance between
the unit and the side wall in order to make use of the
door stay open feature at 120
°
(self-closing feature
operates up to 90
°
). The door(s) must be able to open a
minimum of 90
°
in order to make use of the maximum
clear door width available.
III. b - PACKAGING:
All Traulsen units are shipped from the factory bolted to
a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged in a durable
cardboard container. The carton is attached to the
wooden skid with the use of large staples. These should
first be removed to avoid scratching the unit when
lifting off the crate.
Most exterior stainless steel surfaces have a protective
vinyl covering to prevent scratching during
manufacturing, shipping and installation. After the unit
is installed in place of service, remove and discard the
covering from all surfaces.
To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we
suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet
during all transportation to the point of final installation.
The bolts can then be removed with a 3/4
”
socket
wrench. Avoid laying the unit on its front, side or back
for removal of the pallet.
NOTE: Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit
down on its front, side or back. However, if you must
please be certain to allow the unit to remain in an
upright position afterwards for 24 hours before plugging
it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may
settle.
Roll-Thru models also include special interior wood
bracing, intended to protect the cabinet during shipment.
This bracing should under no circumstances be removed
prior to the unit being installed in its final location.
III. INSTALLATION
(continued)
III. c - INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS:
6
”
high stainless steel legs are supplied standard for all
Traulsen reach-in and pass-thru units. Casters in lieu
of legs are available as an optional accessory for the
same models. These are shipped from the factory
packed inside a cardboard box which is strapped to one
of the shelves. Remove the nylon strap and open the
box, it should contain either four (4) legs or four (4)
casters and sixteen (16) bolts.
WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND
STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS.
To install the legs or casters, first raise and block the
reach-in a minimum of 7
”
from the floor. For
installing legs, thread the legs into the threaded holes
on the bottom of the cabinet (see figure 2). Be certain
that all legs are tightly secured (legs and casters should
be tightened to 300 inch/pounds, max). When the unit
is set in its final position, it is important for proper op-
eration that the unit be level. The legs are adjustable for
this purpose, turn the bottom of the leg counter-
clockwise to raise it, clockwise to lower it. Level the
unit from front to back as well as side to side in this
manner, using a level placed in the bottom of the
cabinet.
III. b - PACKAGING (cont
’
d):
WARNING: Read and review these instructions, in their
entirety, BEFORE attempting to disassemble and remove
the interior bracing. If either of the diagonal or upper
ceiling braces are dropped, they could cause personal
injury or damage to the equipment.
To disassemble the bracing, first open the doors and
carefully remove the banding that holds the two
diagonal braces together.
WARNING: The diagonal braces will now be loose and
can fall out of position and possibly permit the ceiling
corner brace to fall.
Carefull remove one diagonal brace while supporting the
ceiling corner brace, so that it does not fall (see figure
1). Next, remove the ceiling brace, the remaining
diagonal brace, and lastly the floor brace - then discard.
Repeat as necessary for each section of the unit.
