Threaded Holes

II. RECEIPT INSPECTION III. INSTALLATION (continued)

All Traulsen products are factory tested for perfor- mance 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 sub- sequently noted during or immediately after installa- tion, contact the respective carrier and file a freight claim. Under no condition may a damaged unit be re- turned to Traulsen & Co. without first obtaining writ- ten 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 protec- tive vinyl covering to prevent scratching during manu- facturing, 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 installa- tion. 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 up- right position afterwards for 24 hours before plugging it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may settle.

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 install- ing legs, thread the legs into the threaded holes on the bottom of the cabinet (see figure 1). 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 operation 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.

Please note that Traulsen units are not designed to be moved while on legs. If the unit requires moving, a pallet jack or forklift should be used to prevent dam- age. For installing casters, the casters are “plate” type, and require the use of four (4) bolts each to se- cure them firmly to the cabinet bottom at each corner (see figure 2). The caster bolts are tightened using a 1/2” socket wrench.

III.d - SHELF PINS:

The unit is supplied with shelves and shelf pins in- stalled. Check all shelf pins to assure they are tight- ened down as they may have come loose during ship- ping. Rotate the pins clockwise until they are secured against the side of the cabinet.
