II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
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
and bottom mounted condensate evaporator are boxed
and strapped inside to prevent damage. If the unit is
equipped with optional locks the door keys will be at-
tached 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. a - LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your Traulsen Spacesaver
unit, away from extreme heat or cold. Allow enough
clearance between the unit and the side wall so that
the door (s) may open a minimum of 90°.
III. b - PACKAGING:
All Traulsen Spacesaver units are shipped from the
factory bolted to a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged
in a durable cardboard container. The carton is at-
tached 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.
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.
All exterior metal surfaces are protected from scratch-
ing during manufacturing and shipping by a plastic
covering. This should be removed prior to installa-
tion.
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. INSTALLATION
III. INSTALLATION (continued)
III. c - INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS:
6” high stainless steel legs are supplied standard for
all Traulsen Spacesaver 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
unit a minimum of 7” from the floor. For installing
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 op-
eration 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 cabi-
net.
Please note that Traulsen Spacesaver units are not de-
signed to be moved while on legs. If the unit requires
moving, a pallet jack or forklift should be used to pre-
vent damage. For installing casters, the casters are
“plate” type, and require the use of four (4) bolts each
to secure them firmly to the cabinet bottom at each
corner (see figure 2). The caster bolts are tightened
using a 1/2” socket wrench.
