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, ovens,
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.
Uncrating the Stand
Place the fixture as close to its permanent position as
possible. Keep in place, attached case until ready to set/bolt
to adjoining case.
Tighten Glass Screws
Tighten screws along clamshell located on the underside
of glass before placing unit into operation.
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 injury and damage
to the fixture.
Setting and Joining
The sectional construction of these models enable them to be
joined in line to give the effect of one continuous display.
An Alignment pin kit is supplied with every case and must
be used in alignment.
Leveling
IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT CASES BE
LEVELED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE
PRIOR TO JOINING. A LEVEL CASE IS NECESSARY
TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION, WATER DRAINAGE,
GLASS ALIGNMENT, AND OPERATION OF THE HINGES
SUPPORTING THE GLASS. LEVELING THE CASE
CORRECTLY WILL SOLVE ALL HINGE OPERATION
AND GLASS PROBLEMS.
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup
leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B. When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.
insure the closest possible fit when cases are joined in the
field. When joining, use a carpenters level and adjust legs
accordingly. The legs on the Q1-FC/FS are adjustable and
do not require shims. Simply screw the leg up or down to
adjust height.
1. Using case blueprints, measure off and mark on the
floor the exact dimensions of where the cases will
sit. Snap chalk line for front and back positions of
base rail or pedestal. Mark the location of each joint
front and back. Find the highest point throughout the
lineup. FLOORS ARE NORMALLY NOT LEVEL!
Determine the highest point of the floor; cases will
be set off this point. All cases in the entire lineup
must be brought up to the highest level of the case
sitting at the highest point in the lineup. This may be
done a few different ways.
a) Walk the floor looking for any mounds or dips.
b) Use a string level.
c) Useatransit.
If a wedge is used in the middle of a lineup, the
wedge must be set on the highest point on the floor
FIRST, with the rest if the lineup being leveled from
it. The Q1-FC/FS case has adjustable legs to allow
for leveling.
2. Set first case over the highest part of the floor and
adjust legs so that case is level. Remove side and
back leg braces after case is set and joined.
3. Set second case within one foot (1’) of the first case,
and remove leg skids. Keep the supports along the
length of the case and far end of case. Level case to
the first using the instructions in step one.
4. Apply masking tape 1/8” in from end of case on
inside and outside rear mullion and body work on
both cases to be joined.
4. Installation
All cases were leveled and joined prior to shipment to
5

case. Sealant area is shown using a dotted line in
illustration in Step 8. Apply heavy amount to cover
entire shaded area.
DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!
This equipment is to be installed
to comply with the applicable
NEC,Federal, State ,and Local
Plumbing and Construction
Code ha ving jurisdiction.
ATTENTION
INSTALLER
6. Slide second case up to first case snugly. Then level
second case to the first case so glass front, bumper
and top are flush.
Do not use bolts to pull cases together.
7. To compress butyl at joint, use two Jurgenson
wood clamps. Make sure case is level from front to
back and side to side on inside bulkheads at joint.
Installation (Cont'd)
5. Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to first 8. Attach sections together via the bolts pictured in the
illustration below.
9. Apply bead of butyl to top of bulkheads
and slip on stainless steel bulkhead cap. Also apply
silicone to seam between overhead light tubes.
10. Use finger to smooth silicone as thin as possible at
masking tape on inside and outside of rear mullion
(apply additional silicone if necessary). Remove
tape applied on line #4.
11. Remove front, back and end shipping braces.
Q1-FC/FS Refrigerated Wedges and
Standard Cases
Line-up taper pins and line-up plates with holes on adjoining
case. Bolting is located at the rear of the case, behind the
air discharge wall, and behind the front body panel. The
cases are bolted together in front by means of a bracket
located behind the front panel. Remove the front panel by
unscrewing these bottom screws.

Q-1 Glass Adjustment
Proper adjustment of the side-to-side position on the
glass clamp on Vieler Streamline hardware such as used
on Hussmann Q series service cases is critical to proper
operation of the glass hardware. Failure to properly adjust
the glass clamp can result in failure of the hardware and
possible injury to personnel.
When setting or repairing cases, the glass clamp is
frequently adjusted from side to side once the cases are
set in order to control glass gaps or compensate for poorly
installed case line ups. Due to the unique design of this
type of hardware, using practices common to other types
of hardware can result in the above failures.
Step 1: Level Case
The canopy hardware and glass gaps are set at the factory
for proper fit with the Cases Square and level. Before
attempting to do any adjustment of the canopy hardware,
ensure that the cases are set square and level. Additionally,
the adjoining cases must be pulled together tightly.
Step # 2
To level the cases remove the front and rear close-offs, You
can adjust the Height by turning the base leg adjusters
When you turn the leg adjuster clock-wise the case will
go up.
When you turn the leg adjuster counter clock-wise the
case will go down.

To properly adjust the height of the glass requires that both hinge arms of each section of glass be loosened before
attempting to change the glass position.
Glass must be parallel to ledge when viewed from front
IMPORTANT: Attempting to compensate for poor installation practices by manipulating the canopy hardware
will result in unsatisfactory workmanship and possibly cause hardware failure and/or injury.

Step 3: Adjust Glass Height
Front to Back: Loosen to
move, must be tightened
when adjustments are
complete
Glass Height: When
turned clockwise the
front glass will go up.
When turned counter-
clockwise the front
glass will go down.
Glass Height should be centered
on “V” glass seal

To properly adjust the glass gaps requires that both hinge arms of each section of glass be loosened before attempting
to change the glass position.
Installation (Cont'd)
Step 4: Glass Side to Side Adjustment
The glass gaps can be slightly optimized by moving the glass and glass clamp assembly side to side. This should be
done as the final adjustment only after the glass/canopy height of the cases are set and leveled to each other. The canopy
hardware on adjoining Q Series cases should be screwed together with the ¼”-20 THD screws included with the cases.
There are threaded holes provided in the stationary portion of the top hardware for this purpose.
To shift the glass side to side
or front to back at the glass
clamp
#1 Open the glass and loosen
the Torx T-15 screw
# 2 Loosen the #10 MM bolt on both
sides of the glass as needed

IMPORTANT: Attempting to change the glass position by loosening only one side or by forcing the clamp
sideways will result in damaging the hardware and its eventual failure. Loosening the hinge arms requires
loosening the attachment screws and setscrews on both hinge arms on the section of glass.
IMPORTANT: It is critical to use the proper size Torx or Hex wrench for the fasteners to avoid stripping the
fasteners.
