INSPECTION
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the Bill
of Lading to insure all crates and cartons have been received. Do not sign the freight
bill clear until the freight has been properly inspected for damage. All units should be
inspected for damage including concealed damage by uncrating immediately. If any
damage is found, it should be reported to the carrier at once, noted on the Bill of Lading
and a claim should be filed with the carrier. This equipment has been inspected and
tested in the manufacturing facility and has been crated in accordance with
transportation rules and guidelines. The manufacture is not responsible for freight loss
or damages.
INSTALLATION
The unit has been secured to the shipping base with four bolts. Remove these bolts
and separate the unit from the shipping base. Locate the casters or legs found inside
the unit. Attach the casters or legs to the unit base by screwing them into the threaded
fittings that were used to secure the shipping base. Use the wrench provided to tighten
the casters to the unit. The casters with the brakes should be installed on the front of
the unit. For proper drainage of condensate, the unit should be level when placed in its
permanent location. Leveling shims are included in the accessories package in the
cabinet. Loosen the casters and insert shims between caster and bottom of the unit.
Retighten the caster.
The exterior of the cabinet and doors have been protected by a plastic covering. Peel
this protective covering before installation. After removing the covering, clean the
interior and exterior surfaces of the unit with soap and water and a rinse with clean
water. Do not use chlorinated cleaners on the surfaces as they can cause corrosion.
If the door(s) have come out of alignment during shipping they will need to be adjusted.
This can be accomplished by opening the door(s) and loosening the screws that hold
both the top and bottom hinges to the cabinet. After adjusting the door so it is aligned
correct, tighten the screws to securely hold the hinges and door(s) in place. The door on
a single door unit can be reversed in the field by installing Hinge Kit part number
146524 available from your parts dealer.
The shelves and self clips are packaged inside the unit. Install the shelf clips on the
pilasters inside the unit and set the shelves on the clips. The shelves are adjustable in
½” increments.
