Installation; Leveling - Hussmann CR3-F Installation And Operation Manual

Rev. 0707
IMPORTANT !: PLEASE READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE
BEGINNING CASE INSTALLATION.
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% relative 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, preparation and display, the temperature
of the product must be controlled to maximize life of
the product.
UN-CRATING THE STAND
Place the fi xture 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 fi xture can now be
lifted off the crate skid. Lift only at base of stand!
EXTERIOR LOADING
These models have not been structurally designed to
support excessive external loading. Do not walk on
their tops; This could cause serious personal in jury
and damage to the fi xture.

LEVELING

IMPORTANT !: To avoid removing concrete
flooring, when installing a lineup of cases, it
is imperative that the highest spot of the store
floor in the area where the cases are to be set
is determined. Begin setting the lineup with
the case that is nearest to the highest part
of the floor. If a wedge is a part of the lineup
near the high spot, set it first.
IMPORTANT !: When removing loose parts
from inside or on top of the case such as
installation kits, hardware or fasteners, ice
pans, display pans, splash guards, and
instruction manuals to gain access to the side
bulkheads at each end of the case or to begin
preparation for installation: DO NOT LOSE
THEM or put them where they can become
damaged.
LEVELING: All cases were leveled and joined
where necessary prior to shipment to ensure the
closest possible fi t when cases are joined in the
fi eld. When joining, use a carpenters level and shim

legs accordingly. Cases must be raised correctly: lift
under legs or wood leg braces where support is best,
to prevent damage to the case.
1. It is imperative that the cases be leveled from
front to back and side to side as they are being
joined beginning with the fi rst case that is set in
place. Remember: the fi rst case in a line-up to
be set should be the one closest to the highest
spot of the store fl oor. A level case is necessary
to ensure proper operation, water drainage, and
glass alignment. Remove any skids or shipping
supports that are under the legs. Leave the leg
supports attached to the sides of the legs on the
case until the case has been set and leveled.
Front to back plumb should be checked by
placing the level on the top of the side bulkhead
of the lower case after the lower deck pans have
been removed. Make sure that the area on the
bulkhead where the level is placed is smooth
and free of debris. Check plumb at both ends of
the case at the side bulkheads.
Side to side plumb should be checked both at
the front and rear of the case. At the front, a
level can be placed on the stainless steel liner
cap at the front of the lower case interior or on
the stainless steel bumper box between the
bumper and front Plexiglas. At the rear of the
case, place the level on the stainless steel rear
ledge. Check plumb at the center and ends to
ensure that the case is truly level and that all
legs of the case are supporting the weight of the
case equally, front and rear and side to side.
2. Set the fi rst case, and adjust the legs over the
highest part of the fl oor so that case is level as
described above. Prevent case damage: if lifting
the case, it must be raised under the legs, the
leg tubes or by the use of the wood 2" x 6 or
2" x 4" leg braces if applicable. Remove the side
and back leg braces after the case is set.
3. Set the second case as close as possible to the
fi rst case, and level the second case to the fi rst
using the instructions in step 1. This will be a
mock-up only. The fi nal leveling of the case will
be rechecked once they are bolted together in
steps 7 and 8.
4. Apply masking tape 1/8" in from end of case
on the inside and outside rear mullion and to
the side bulkheads on both cases to be joined.
The tape will minimize cleanup from sealant
overfl ow when the cases are drawn together.
(It can also be left in place on the upper case
mullions and exterior bodywork for fi nish
caulking with silicone in step 9.)
