Installation; Leveling - Hussmann DSF Installation And Operation Manual

IGSV-DSF, DSFM-0303
LOCATION
The refrigerated merchandisers have been designed for
use only in air conditioned stores where temperature and
humidity are maintained at or below 75°F and 55% rela-
tive humidity. DO NOT allow air conditioning, electric fans,
ovens, open doors or windows (etc.) to create air cur-
rents around the merchandiser, as this will impair its cor-
rect operation.
Product temperature should always be maintained at a
constant and proper temperature. This means that from
the time the product is received, through storage, prepa-
ration and display, the temperature of the product must
be controlled to maximize life of the product.
UNCRATING THE STAND
Place the fixture as close to its permanent position as
possible. Remove the top of the crate. Detach the walls
from each other and remove from the skid. Unbolt the
case from the skid. The fixture can now be lifted off the
crate skid. Lift only at base of stand!
EXTERIOR LOADING
These models have not been structurally designed to sup-
port excessive external loading. Do not walk on their
tops; This could cause serious personal injury and dam-
age to the fixture.
SETTING AND JOINING
The sectional construction of these models enable them
to be joined in line to give the effect of one continuous
display. A joint trim kit is supplied with each joint.

LEVELING

IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
CASES BE LEVELED FROM FRONT TO
BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE PRIOR TO JOIN-
ING. A LEVEL CASE IS NECESSARY TO IN-
SURE PROPER OPERATION, WATER
DRAINAGE, GLASS ALIGNMENT, AND OP-
ERATION OF THE HINGES SUPPORTING
THE GLASS. LEVELING THE CASE COR-
RECTLY WILL SOLVE MOST HINGE OPERA-
TION PROBLEMS.
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup
leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B. When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.
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.
1. 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. The fronts of the cases should be in
alignment. Caution: do not use connecting
bolts to pull sections together.
4. Apply a thick bead of silicone to adjoining end
panels as illustrated in the following diagram,
especially around bulkhead cutouts and screw holes.
Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (grey sili-
cone) between cases along bulkhead and up the
rear discharge (clear silicone). Do not use
Permagum because this does not allow cases to
draw up tight, and therefore leaves gaps at the joint.
