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.

All cases were leveled and joined prior to shipment to

insure the closest possible fit when cases are joined in

the field. When joining, use a carpenters level and shim

legs accordingly. Case must be raised correctly, under legs

where support is best, to prevent damage to case.

1. Check level of floor where cases are to be set.

Determine the highest point of the floor; cases will

be set off this point.

2. Level and set the first case, carefully guiding the

electrical, refrigeration and drain lines through the

parent case. Case must be raised under legs where

support is best to prevent damage to case. Internal

bracing may be removed at this time.

3. Set second case as close as possible to the first

case carefully guiding its electrical, refrigeration and

drain lines through the parent case, and 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 on both cases to be joined.

5. Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to

(dotted area shown in figure) first case. Apply heavy

amount to cover entire shaded area.

DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!

It is the contractor’s responsibility to install

case(s) according to local construction and

health codes.

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 the top bracket on the

rear mullion to pull the cases together.

7. To compress silicone 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.

8. Attach sections together with the two 3/8” bolts

provided, below the deck at the mullion towards the

rear of the FMSS-L. Remove clamps.

9. Apply bead of silicone to top of bulkheads and slip

on stainless steel bulkhead cap. Also apply silicone

to seam between overhead light tubes.

10.

verY iMPortant! Apply liberal amounts of black

silicone to fill all voids down to bulkhead.

Proper case-joint sealing is

extremely important to prevent

water leaks!

11. 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 #3.

After cases have been leveled and joined, and refrigeration,

electrical, and wasted piping work completed, install the

splashguards. Fasten along the top edge, or center, with

#10 X 3/3” sheet metal screws.

DO NOT SEAL JOINT TRIM TO FLOOR!
