Receipt Inspection; Installation; A-Location; B-Packaging - Traulsen G Series Owner's Manual

II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
All Traulsen products are factory tested for perfor-
mance and are free from defects when shipped. The ut-
most care has been taken in crating this product to pro-
tect against damage in transit. All interior fittings have
been carefully secured and the casters/legs are boxed
and strapped inside to prevent damage. Door keys will
be attached to the handle with a nylon strip. The han-
dle is protected by an easily removable nylon netting.
You should carefully inspect your Traulsen unit for dam-
age during delivery. If damage is detected, you should
save all the crating materials and make note on the car-
rier's Bill Of Lading describing this. A freight claim should
be filed immediately. If damage is subsequently noted
during or immediately after installation, contact the re-
spective carrier and file a freight claim. Under no condi-
tion may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen without
first obtaining written permission (return authorization).
III. INSTALLATION
III. a - LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away
from extreme heat and allow proper clearance for
air circulation (see page 4).
ance 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 Sty-
rofoam backed cardboard wrap.
Most exterior stainless steel and aluminum surfaces
have a protective vinyl covering to prevent scratching
during manufacturing, shipping and installation. After
the unit is installed in place of service, remove and dis-
card the covering from all surfaces.
If at all possible we suggest that the cabinet remain bolted
to the pallet during all transportation to the point of final
installation. To remove the wooden pallet, 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: DO NOT LAY THE UNIT ON ITS SIDE DURING
TRANSPORTATION OR INSTALLATION.
III. INSTALLATION (cont'd)
III. c - INSTALLING CASTERS OR LEGS:
A set of four (4) 6" high casters and sixteen (16) bolts are sup-
plied standard for all Traulsen G-Series units. These are shipped
from the factory packed inside a cardboard box which is strapped
inside the cabinet to the lower shelf.
Legs in lieu of casters are available as an optional accessory
kit for the same models. These are shipped inside a separate
cardboard box. Inside it should contain four (4) legs and sixteen
(16) bolts.
WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND STA-
BLE 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 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. 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 counterclockwise to raise it, clockwise to
lower it. Level the unit from front to back as well as side to side
in this manner.
Allow enough clear-
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 damage. For installing casters, the
casters are a "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.
