INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED:
A. Gloves
B. Utility Knife
C. Phillips Screw Driver or Cordless
Drill with Phillips Bit
D. ¾” Socket
E. (2) Four Wheel Dolly
NOTE: Remove all the packing
material from the cabinet. Be sure
to save all the packing material to
use when tipping the cabinet on its
side.
STEP 1
Locate the wire harness coming out
of the back of the digital display/
energy saving switch and remove the
male molex plug from the control box
located on the right hand side of the
condensing unit. (See image 1).
STEP 2
Open the doors, locate and remove the
Phillips screws on the underside of the
rain shield. (See images 2-3)
STEP 3
Locate and remove the screws on top
of the rain shield. You can now remove
the rain shield. Be sure to lay it down
on a flat surface to prevent the rain
shield from falling over and being
damaged. (See image 4)
STEP 4
Remove both doors. To do this, open
the door 90º and lift up on the door.
Be sure to place the door upright on
a secure surface to prevent the doors
from falling over and being damaged.
(See image 5).
STEP 5
Place a piece of packing material on
the left side of the cabinet. If you’re
using a four wheel dolly place this on
the left side of the cabinet. Be sure
that the dolly is padded. If not, place
several pieces of cardboard on it to
protect the dolly from scratching the
left side of the cabinet. (See image 6)
NOTE: Depending on the size of
your dolly you might need to use
more than one.

INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 6
Using at least two people, tilt the
top left side of the cabinet while it’s
still on the skid. Start by having one
person on each side of the cabinet and
lower the left side down so that the
person on the left side can support the
weight momentarily by himself until
the person from the other side can join
in lowering the cabinet as shown in
images 8-9.
STEP 7
Remove the skid from the bottom of
the cabinet. (See image 10).
STEP 8
You can now move the cabinet into the
location where the cabinet is to go.
STEP 9
Once the cabinet is in place, stand the
cabinet upright and level the cabinet.
STEP 10
Place the ramps on the front of the
cabinet. At this point it may be
necessary to seal the cabinet to the
floor per local codes. (See images
11-12)
STEP 11
Once the cabinet is in its final location
and level, the roll-in ramp can be
installed. The ramp has three slotted
holes in back. These slotted holes
slide over three thumb screws located
in the front of the cabinet near the
floor (See Image 11).
STEP 12
Reinstall the doors and be sure
they are closing smoothly and not
binding up on the ramp. To adjust
door sweeper gasket, loosen slotted
thumbscrews. The gasket can then be
moved up or down and side to side. The
gasket should make some contact with
the ramp when the door is closing.
This can be checked by opening up
the door 3-4” and allowing the door
to close. This process may have to be
done several times before securing the
sweeper gasket bracket. Once gasket
is properly adjusted, tighten slotted
thumbscrews. (See image 13).
STEP 13
Reinstall the rain shield. Be sure to
reconnect the wire harness from the
display/energy saving switch back in
the female molex connector.
BEFORE PLUGGING THE CABINET
IN BE SURE THAT THE CABINET
HAS BEEN UPRIGHT FOR AT
LEAST DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF
TIME THAT IT WAS ON ITS SIDE.
EXAMPLE: IF THE CABINET WAS
ON ITS SIDE FOR 1 HOUR DO NOT
PLUG THE CABINET IN FOR 2
HOURS. SHOULD THE CABINET
BE ON ITS SIDE FOR MORE THAN
4 HOURS, PLEASE ALLOW THE
CABINET TO REMAIN UPRIGHT
FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS. THIS
IS TO ENSURE THAT ANY OIL
THAT MIGHT HAVE MIGRATED
OUT OF THE COMPRESSOR HAS A
CHANCE TO MIGRATE BACK TO THE
COMPRESSOR.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO DO THIS
COULD RESULT IN PREMATURE
COMPRESSOR FAILURE
