Shipping Rider; Case Leveling - Hussmann Impact Excel M5X Installation And Service Manual

P/N 0463880_E

SHIPPING RIDER

Each case is shipped on a rider to protect the factory
installed front legs, and to make positioning the case
easier. DO NOT remove the front rider until the
case has been positioned. Once the rider is
removed, the case must be lifted –NOT PUSHED–
to reposition. To remove the rider, remove bolts
attaching rider to each leg.
Remove Bolts from Front
Set all adjustable legs to the mid-point before
attempting to level the case.

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, joining and leveling
cases, close attention to position and operation
must be maintained.

EGIN LINEUP LEVELING FROM THE HIGHEST
POINT OF THE STORE FLOOR
Preparation
1. Using store blueprints, measure off and mark
on floor the exact dimensions/locations of the
case footprint. A 3 inch space is required
behind each case to prevent condensation.

.
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 lineup 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.
Leveling
Position the first case at the highest point on the
floor. Work outward from that point to create the
case line-up. Use a 48 inch (1220 mm) or longer
level for end-to-end leveling. The rear edge of the
top foam panel of the case is a good location for
the level at the rear of the case, and the top rail is
a good location for the level at the front of the
case. For leveling the case front-to-rear, a 24 inch
(610 mm) level should be placed on the lower
flange of the case end frame. If the case has a
factory installed end, the level should be placed
on the canopy support brackets on top of the
case. Suggested level locations are shown in the
following illustrations.
