Case Leveling - Hussmann Elite Series Installation & Operation Manual

P/N 0453549_M
Read before raising front glass to prevent
injury from broken or falling glass.
The top cylinders, which allow the raising
and lowering of this glass, have been carefully
installed and tested for the proper tension
before shipment . However, during shipment
and storage, the lubricant inside the cylinders
may have settled . This settling can cause ex-
cessive or uneven tension on the glass to the
point of breakage .
To avoid any damage, please do the fol-
lowing before completely raising the front
glass.
1. Slowly raise and lower each glass section
6 times to a height of 6 in. (152 mm).
2. Increase the height to about 12 in. (305
mm) and raise and lower the glass 6
times.
3. Then raise the glass to the full extension
and lower.
This should release any settled lubricant in
the cylinders and prevent any stress on the
front glass . Leveling and adjustment proce-
dures begin on Page 1-3 .

CASE LEVELING

Merchandisers must be installed level to
ensure proper operation of the refrigeration
system and to ensure proper drainage of
defrost water . During all steps of setting, join-
ing and leveling cases, close attention to glass
position and operation must be maintained .
Please review all steps and photos before
making any adjustments . DO NOT make any
glass adjustments until individual case is set
and level .
Preparation
1 . Using store blueprints, measure off and
mark on floor the exact dimensions/loca-
tions of the case footprint .
2 . Snap a chalk line for the front and rear
positions of the base legs .
3 . Mark the location of each joint from front
to back lines .
4 . FLOORS ARE NOT LEVEL!!! When
working with two or more cases to be
joined, the whole lineup must be leveled
on the same plane, left to right and front
to back . This means that the entire line-
up must be brought up to the level of the
highest case in the lineup .
Along the lines previously marked, find
the highest point of the floor by:
• Walking the floor and noticing any
dips or mounds;
• Using a string level; and
• Using a transit .
