IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIVETHAT CASES BE LEVELED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE PRIOR TO JOINING. A LEVEL CASE IS NECESSARY TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION, WATER DRAINAGE, GLASS ALIGNMENT, AND OPERATION OF THE HINGES SUPPORTING THE GLASS. LEVELING THE CASE CORRECTLY WILL SOLVE MOST HINGE OPERATION PROBLEMS.
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineupleveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B.When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.C.If there is a problem with the hinge operation, first check if case is level. The mini top hardware may have become loosened during shipping (ESHS Only). If it does not look level, call Hussmann Chino immediately for the shim kit needed to level the mini top hardware, and continue with the following instructions. (If problem still persists, see "Clamshell Screw Adjustment" section – ESH only).
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 buytl 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!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.
LEVELING/JOINING INSTRUCTIONS1.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!9.Apply bead of buytl to top of bulkheads and slip on stainless steel bulkhead cap. Also apply buytl to seam between overhead light tubes.
10.VERY IMPORTANT!Apply liberal amounts of black buytl to area under interior lower legs and fill all voids down to bulkhead.
11.Use finger to smooth buytl as thin as possible at masking tape on inside and outside of rear mullion (apply additional buytl if necessary). Remove tape applied on line #3.
CORNER WEDGESCorner wedges are attached via front and rear camlocks. Use a 7mm allen wrench to turn the locks. Do not over- tighten! Join the top by using a joint bracket (included in joint kit) with 3/8" bolts.
COMMON END BETWEEN UNLIKE CASES AND HOT CASESBolt end onto case using bolts provided in predrilled holes behind front panel through bracket provided, and in the rear behind the rear access panel on the bottom. Hot case are only bolted in two places.
