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 legs or casters are boxed inside to prevent damage.
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 so that the door (s) may open a minimum of 90°.
III.b - PACKAGING:
All Traulsen VPS units are shipped from the factory on a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged in a durable crate with staples. These should first be removed to avoid scratching the unit when lifting off the crate. Avoid laying the unit on its front, side or back for re- moval 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 CASTERS:
Six (6) 8” high casters are supplied standard for all VPS units. These are shipped from the factory packed inside a cardboard box, contained within the unit.
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 9” from the floor. The casters slide into the two leg channels on the front and back of the cabinet. These are fully adjustable along the unit’s entire length to allow for avoiding floor obstructions, such as drains and outlet boxes. Be certain that all casters are tightly secured; to do this, tighten the two bolts located at the base of each caster assembly.
NOTE: Casters or legs must be installed towards the four corners of the unit, as well under the compress-

or compartment, for proper support. See drawing on page 6 for correct placement.
III.d - INSTALLING LEGS:
Optional legs are installed in the same manner as cast- ers (see figure 1). When the unit is set in its finalposition it is important for proper operation that the unit be leveled. The legs are adjustable for this purpose.
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.

III.f - POWER SUPPLY:
It is recommended that the supply voltage be checked prior to connection to be certain that proper voltage for the cabinet wiring is available (refer to the serial tag to determine correct unit voltage). Make connec- tions in accordance with local electrical codes. Use qualified electricians.
Use of a separate, dedicated circuit is required. Size wiring to handle indicated load and provide necessary overcurrent protector in circuit.
III.g - CLEARANCE:
It is important for the proper operation and longevity of your Traulsen unit that it have adequate provisions for air supply to the compressor. Do not store materi- als within 31” of the condensing unit louvers. Inad- equate air flow circulation and heating will result if the air flow is obstructed.
