Installation; Leveling - Hussmann R3 Installation And Operation Manual

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, open doors or windows (etc.) to create air currents
around the merchandiser, as this will impair its correct
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.
UN-CRATING 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.
GLASS BREAKAGE
Retighten glass along clamshell
after leveling and first time case
is brought to full operating
temperature!
GLASS ADJUSTMENT
During shipment, the lubricant inside the cylinders may
have settled. This settling may cause excessive or uneven
tension on the glass - to the point of breakage. To avoid
any damage, please follow these three easy steps:
1. Slowly raise and lower each glass section 6 times to a
height of 6 inches.
2. Increase the height to 12 inches, and raise and lower the
glass 6 more times.
3. Finally raise the glass to its full extension, and lower.
These steps should release any settled lubricant within
the cylinders and prevent any stress on the front glass.
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 joining. A level case is necessary to insure
proper operation, water drainage, and
plexiglass alignment.
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.
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!
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 silicone 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
