Receiving and Uncrating

Congratulations! You have purchased a brand new W.A. Brown & Son, Inc. Walk-In Cooler or Freezer. To ensure proper set-up and many years of trouble free use, read and follow these instructions carefully before and during installation. This manual covers the basic installation of a standard walk-in. See sheets enclosed with shipment for installation instructions for items not covered in this manual.

If You Have Freight Damage:

Brown walk-ins are shipped on pallets with shrink wrap, in dedicated trucks or in specially marked and designated cartons. These methods have been chosen to decrease the possibility of freight damage, however, each shipment should be inspected for exterior damage. If damage is found, please note it on the delivery freight bill and call W. A. Brown Customer Service. Under NO conditions may a damaged unit be returned to W. A. Brown & Son, Inc. without first obtaining permission.

Checklist Suggestions:

•Read and understand the installation manual and cooler drawings before attempting to install the walk-in.

•Make sure you have the number of pallets or crates listed on the Bill of Lading.

•Remove all panels from their shipping cartons and stack them in rows of like panels; wall panels in one row, ceiling panels in another, etc. Panels with a 6" yellow sticker are non-standard panels and have a particular location in the walk-in. This number can be found on the drawing identifying the location of these panels. All standard panels are interchangeable. You do however, have to put the proper size in the proper location.

•The refrigeration should be inspected upon receipt.

•Check the shipping list to insure you have the correct number of panels, doors and accessories. If any prob- lems are found, please contact the factory as soon as possible.

•Locate accessories box for buttons, assembly wrench and a drawing.

•Panels that have a PVC protective covering on the metal skins should have the PVC removed as the panel is selected for installation. This will make removal of the PVC easier.

•It is recommended to use two people to handle panels. For door sections and larger panels a dolly or pallet jack may be useful.

•If panels must be stored on a job site prior to installation, it is recommended that they be stored inside. Panels received on skids or in cartons, should be stored as received, provided the skid or carton is on a level surface and kept free from moisture. If the panels are received without crating, they should be stored on edge with the female edge of the panel down. (Stacking may cause damage.)

•Your door and section will be labeled with an ID# such as 1D, 1D1, 2D, etc. This ID# along with your drawing will help you locate the door and section in the proper position.
