______ Installing Castors
Install castors in the bottom rail assembly
on the underside of the cooler. Castors
with brakes should be installed in front.
To obtain maximum strength and stability
of the unit, it is important that you make
sure each castor is secured with a 3/4"
(19mm) open-end wrench. The bearing
race on the castor must make firm contact
with the rail.
______ Installing Leg Levelers _______
Screw leg levelers into the four corners of
the lower rail assembly (larger models
include levelers centered front and back
also).
CAUTION
To avoid damage to lower rail assembly,
raise unit slowly and carefully to upright
position.

race. (see figure 3).
If the cabinet is not level use a 3/4" (19mm)
open-end wrench to turn the anchoring bolt
under the bearing race counter-clockwise until
the cabinet is level.
Install the desired number of shims, making
sure the slot of the shim is in contact with the
threaded stem of the castor.
If more than one shim is used, turn the slot at
a 90° angle so they are not in line.
Turn the anchoring bolt clockwise with a 3/4"
(19mm) open-end wrench to tighten and
secure the castor.
Leg Levelers For GDM Models:
If the cabinet is not level adjust leg levelers by
first relieving weight to leveler and adjusting
by either hand or wrench. Repeat with all leg
levelers until cabinet is level in all directions.
D . Ensure that the drain hose or hoses are
positioned in the pan.
