INSTALLATION: REMOVAL FROM SKID, REMOVING VERTICAL LOWER FRONT PANEL
1. Remove Case From Skid (Rails)
 Remove shipping brace that may be securing case
to skid.
 Support case to prevent tipping.
 Caution! Levelers can be damaged if case hits floor
with heavy force!
Case can be repositioned with pallet truck when front
lower panel is removed. Blocking may be necessary to
obtain adequate height.
Slide Skid Out
 Carefully slide unit to
rear of skid and tip
backward off skid.
 Illustration may not
reflect every feature
or option of your
particular case.
2. Remove Case From Skid (Casters)
Remove shipping brackets that may be securing
casters to skid
 Place ramp up against skid (to allow case to
smoothly slide off from skid).
 Maintain support of case at all times or center of
gravity may cause case to fall.
 Unlock Casters. Roll unit to rear of skid.
Ramp
 Roll down ramp
and off from skid.

Note: Illustrations
shown reflect a
general outline of
sample cases and do
not reflect features or
options of your
particular model.
3. Removing Vertical Lower Front Panel
Removing Lower Front Panel
 No screw removal is required to remove lower front panel.
 Simply lift lower front panel slots up and off case hooks.
 Replace in same manner it was removed.

INSTALLATION, CONT.: POSITIONING & ALIGNING CASE / BOLTING & CAULKING UNITS TOGETHER
4. Position & Align Case Alongside Other
Cases
 Before adjusting levelers (or shimming frame
support rails), make certain that case is in proper
position and, if required, aligned with adjoining case.
 This may require the repositioning of the case you
are installing or the already positioned case.
5. Bolting and Caulking Units Together
Follow these steps to assure a secure, level lineup.
A. Begin lineup leveling from highest point of floor.
B. After ‘first’ case is level, apply industrial grade butyl
caulk on non-visible areas (at case end). Use
industrial grade silicone sealant on visible areas
(at case end). See caulk/silicone illustrations at
lower-left.
C. Form Two (2) Caulk/Sealant Lines: (Sanitation
and Refrigeration). See illustration at mid-right for
outline of caulk/sealant lines.
D. Line up ‘second’ case bolt-hole to bolt-hole to ‘first’
case.
E. Using SCC-supplied bolts (and/or screws) found in
installation packet, insert bolts in bolt hole locations
(shown below). You may need to remove decking
to access lower bolt holes.
F. Caution! Front of cases MUST be flush with each
other! After leveling, cases are to be same height.
G. Using SCC-supplied nuts & bolts, lightly tighten
each of the 5 to 8 bolts in a cross-wise pattern.
Work your way around the pattern, tightening more
firmly at each pass. Do not firmly tighten one bolt
and then start on the next!
H. After the cases are bolted together, level the
‘second’ case. Repeat this process for each case
to be adjoined.
I. After all lined-up cases are level, seal all seams
with industrial grade silicone sealant.

INSTALLATION, CONT.: FRAME SUPPORT RAIL SHIMMING
Note: Above Illustration May Not Depict An Exact
Representation Of Your Particular Unit Being Installed.
6. Frame Support Rails Must Be Shimmed
 Illustration below shows case with frame
support rails.
 Shims will be provided with all cases that have
frame support rails.
 Use shims to level case.
 Note: After case is in position, it must be
sealed to floor to prevent entry or leakage of
liquid or moisture.
 Caution: If glass scrapes against edges of case or
against each other, see TROUBLESHOOTING -
FRONT GLASS ALIGNMENT ISSUES section in
this manual.

INSTALLATION, CONT.: ADJUSTING LEVELERS
7. Adjust Levelers
 After case is in position, adjust case so it is
level and plumb see illustration below.
 You may need to remove front and/or rear
Toe-Kick to access levelers.
 Use adjustable wrench (and possibly a pry bar)
to adjust leveler.
 Do not use pry bar on toe-kick (it may buckle).
 Do not use pry bar on end panel (it may chip).
 Use pry bar ONLY on base frame to avoid
damaging case.
 Use a block to reach base frames with pry bar.
 Note: Illustration below may not exactly reflect
every feature or option of your particular case.

10. Thermometer Placement & Purpose
 Front thermometers are located against rear
plenums.
 Rear thermometers may be located in rear
storage bins above shelves (at angled
positions), however location may vary.
 Rear thermometers are in upper section just
inside rear doors (as shown below).
 Thermometers may be either spirit-filled or
digital. They reflect internal air temperature only
(not actual food temperature).
 Use probe thermometers to determine actual
product temperatures.
