OPTIONAL CASTER SHIM
(Reference #CM1-2476)
CASTER
04/29/10
If the height of a caster needs to be raised, shims must be
installed under the casters which need leveling. Extra large
washers, available at most hardware or furniture stores, can be
used to shim casters, or contact the factory for caster shims.
Do not attempt to level casters by unscrewing them
from the cabinet and leaving them loose, as this will
cause damage to the cabinet and leg hole threads,
voiding all warranties.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is extremely important that your
cabinet is perfectly level for proper operation. If it is not
level, the following adverse conditions may occur:
1. The door(s) will not be properly aligned and
consequently will not provide a good seal.
2. Your unit may run excessively.
3. An excessive amount of ice will accumulate inside
the cabinet, around the door opening(s) and on the
finned evaporator coil. If allowed to continue, ice will
eventually block the coil and the unit will fail. This
can result in the loss of all food stored in the cabinet.
4. Defrost water will fail to drain properly and will
overflow the evaporator coil drain pan and into the
cabinet of both refrigerator and freezer models.
FIGURE 3: Installing Casters
“UC” series models and units provided with the Front-Breather
Option do not require any clearance around the the sides or
back of the cabinet, since they take in and exhaust air under the
cabinet and through the front grill, under the door. The air flow
under the cabinet and through the front grill cannot be restrict-
ed. (see “Front Breather Kit” under “Optional Accessories”).
IMPORTANT NOTE: For maximum efficiency, your new
cabinet must be located where an unrestricted air supply
can circulate above and behind it. Never obstruct the face
of the condenser or the grill area in the front of the cabi-
net and never place or store anything inside the cabinet
machine compartment. These rules are essential for long
life. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES MAY
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
FLOOR LOADS
The floor at the final location site must be level, free of vibration
and strong enough to support the total combined weights of
your new model plus the maximum product load which might
be placed into it. Keep in mind that all the weight is concentrated
at the caster or leg locations. A fully loaded reach-in model may
reach 2,000-3,000 pounds. To estimate the possible product
weight, assume that each cubic foot of storage space weighs
approximately 35 pounds. Multiply 35 pounds by the amount
of cubic feet in the cabinet to obtain the product load weight.
For example, a 20 cubic foot refrigerator can hold approximately
700 pounds of product (35 x 20). Assuming the cabinet itself
weighs 300 pounds, the total combined weight of cabinet and
product is approximately 1000 pounds. Therefore, the floor in
this example must be able to support up to 1000 pounds.
INSTALLING CASTERS AND LEVELING
If your new unit is supplied with swivel casters, they will be
packed in the accessory box that came with your cabinet.
Casters should be installed only when the cabinet is close to
it’s final installation site. To install casters on your new model,
carefully tip the unit back and position (4) 2” thick wood blocks
underneath. Locate the large threaded holes on the bottom of
the cabinet and screw the threaded caster studs into the mount-
ing holes, closest to the front of the unit. Repeat this procedure
by tilting the cabinet in the opposite direction and installing
the remaining casters. Make sure the casters are tightened
extremely well (see Figure 3). If the casters are not installed
tightly, the cabinet will be unstable and may sway or rock, which
can damage the cabinet.
