5.1 LOCATING THE DISPLAY CASE
The case must be located where it is not subjected to the direct rays of the sun, heating ducts,
grills, radiator, or ceiling fans, nor should it be located near open doors or main door entrances.
Also, avoid locations where there are excessive air movement or air disturbances.
There are no special clearance requirements for this unit.
5.2 REMOVING CASE FROM SHIPPING SKID
Be sure to leave shelf packaging material intact for this step.
First remove the base front and rear panels
Two or more people should be involved in moving the unit from the pallet onto the ground.
Remove the (4) 1/4” screws that secure the case to the skid. These screws are located in the
front and rear corners of the base rails inside of the front and rear base access panels/grills.
Once all the bolts are removed, slide the unit off the back of the shipping pallet, and tilt it so the
rear corner touches the ground. Then have someone move pallet out from under the case and
gently tilt the case forward until it touches the floor.
5.2.1 Removing Packaging Material
Remove bubble wrap and packing material for all shelves and panel, brackets, etc. If it is
necessary to remove tape residue from plastic materials, use cleaning compounds
recommended in the cleaning section of this manual.

pull on end panels when removing the case from the skid or moving the
case. Case damage or glass breakage will result.
