SETTING AND JOINING
The sectional construction of these models enable
them to be joined in line to give the effect of one
continuous display. A joint trim kit is supplied with each
joint.
LIFT-UP / TILT-OUT GLASS -WHERE APPLICABLE
In addition to verifying that the Allen screws on the lift-
up glass are tightened when the case is delivered,
RECHECK THE ALLEN SCREWS ON THE
GLASS ONCE THE CASE IS IN FULL
OPERATION AND BROUGHT TO
TEMPERATURE.
Temperature changes can affect the size and shape of
the materials involved, and can cause changes in the
secure fit of the glass and the clamp(s).
LEVELING
IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
CASES BE LEVELED FROM FRONT TO
BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE PRIOR TO JOIN-
ING. A LEVEL CASE IS NECESSARY TO
INSURE PROPER OPERATION, WATER
DRAINAGE, GLASS ALIGNMENT, AND
OPERATION OF THE HINGES SUPPORT-
ING THE GLASS. LEVELING THE CASE
CORRECTLY WILL SOLVE MOST HINGE
OPERATION PROBLEMS.
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup
leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B. When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.
All cases were leveled and joined prior to shipment to
insure the closest possible fit when cases are joined in
the field. When joining, use a carpenters level and shim
legs accordingly. Case must be raised correctly, under
legs where support is best, to prevent damage to case.
1. Check level of floor where cases are to be set.
Determine the highest point of the floor; cases will
be set off this point.
2. Set first case, and adjust legs over the highest part of
the floor so that case is level. Prevent damage – case
must be raised under leg or by use of 2x6 or 2x4 leg
brace. Remove side and back leg braces after case is
set.
3. Set second case as close as possible to the first case,
and level case to the first using the instructions in
step one.
4. Apply masking tape 1/8" in from end of case on
inside and outside rear mullion on both cases to be
joined.
5. Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to
dotted area shown in (Fig.2, #1) of first case. Apply
heavy amount to cover entire shaded area.
DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!
It is the contractor's
responsibility to install
case(s) according to local
construction and health
codes.
6. Slide second case up to first case snugly. Then level
second case to the first case so glass front, bumper
and top are flush.
7. To compress silicone at joint, use two Jurgenson
wood clamps. Make sure case is level from front to
back and side to side on inside bulkheads at joint.
8. Attach sections together via a 2 bolts located in the
base of the case. Secure the overhead structure by
bolting the bracket, located inside behind lights.
Do not use cam locks
to pull cases together!
9. Apply bead of silicone to top of bulkheads and slip
on stainless steel bulkhead cap. Also apply silicone
to seam between overhead light tubes.
JOINT TRIM
After cases have been leveled and joined, and refrigera-
tion, electrical, and wasted piping work completed,
install the splashguards. Fasten along the top edge, or
center, with #10 X 3/3" sheet metal screws.
