1. Introduction
A. When the building is delivered, make sure you have the right equipment

and manpower on hand to unload the truck. A forklift or high jack can
be helpful if the shipment includes heavy steel or refrigeration
equipment. The carrier typically imposes time constraints on unloading
your box, and in all situations one person is not enough.
B. As you are unloading look for any freight damage; all products left our
factory in perfect condition. Once the Bill of Landing was signed by the
carrier, safe delivery became their responsibility and the equipment
became your property. Check the packing list and make sure that all
component parts are accounted for. Before signing the Bill of Landing,
inspect all items. If any damage is noted or the number of pieces
received does not agree with the invoice, do not accept shipment
without notation by the carrier’s agent on the Freight Bill. If damage or
shortage is discovered when unpacking leave material and request an
inspection by the carrier. Keep all documents and information so you
can file you claim properly with the carrier. The Bill of Landing, Freight
Bill, and the original invoice are need to file a claim, and must be filed
within the first six months from the date of shipment.
C. Use extreme caution when unpacking to prevent damage to panels and
other equipment. Pay close attention to hardware affixed to the door
and door-frame. Do not lift the door by its Hardware or the Light Base.
Do not drop panels or slide over unfinished surfaces. Keep panels dry
and out of direct sunlight. The protective plastic coating on the panels
may be removed before or after the installation depending on the timing
of construction schedules.
D. The most important requirement for installation of this Walk-In is to have
a level floor. If the floor is level the process will be very smooth.
Otherwise, it’s impossible to make sure that the panels will align correctly
and be plumb and level. Use a laser level or transit to identify the high
spots on the floor. Whenever Walk-Ins are to be installed where concrete
is curing or tile is being set, it is important to provide adequate
ventilation. Concrete and tile grout release hydrogen while curing,
which can damage the finish.
2. Marking Installation Perimeter
The most important requirement is that the Modular Building is installed
over a complete and level floor. This will ensure that the vertical panels
will align correctly and be plumb. Locate and mark the outside
perimeter on the surface where the Modular Building will be installed.
Check marked area for squareness by measuring across the corners.
yourself with the operation of the locks Figures 1, 2,
and 3. On Bally panels, locks will always be on the
left turning in clockwise rotation. If for any reason
you have to unlock a panel, refer to Section 19.

4. "Z' Base Trim (Optional)
'Z' Base trim is installed along bottom edges of Modular Building that

are flush with concrete pad. 'Z' Base trim is outlined and installed on
concrete pad before the placement of vertical panels. 'Z' Base trim
should be secured to concrete pad by installer. Vertical panels will be
secured with wall anchors after Modular Building erection. Apply
caulk along exterior and interior seam along vertical panels and 'Z'
base trim. See Figure 4.
5. Installation of Less-Floor Walk-Ins
A. After you have checked that the building floor is level, use a transient
or builders level to find the highest point on the perimeter. Position
the first 12 x 12 corner to be level with the high point. Begin at
corner and align panels at the top. See Figure 5.
B. Position a vertical panel to the right and left of the corner panel (as
per Plan View) and flush with the perimeter line. See Figure 7. Once
these panels have been aligned properly, fully engage all vertical-tovertical locks.
C. Level these panels to the perimeter high point and check for plumb
with a 48” spirit level. (Panels over 10’ in height should be checked
for plumb with a plumb bob.)
D. As each panel is installed, check to make sure it’s plumb and level. If
the panel is not plumb, shim to adjust for plumb. Making the same
check down the panel’s leading edge shows whether it’s level along
the top or not. If not adjust accordingly.
E. Continue installing vertical panels in the same manner, periodically
checking to make sure that panels remain plumb and level. See
Figure 6. (staggered locking sequence).
F. When enough vertical panels are set to accept the installation of the
first ceiling and end panel, begin assembly of the ceiling panels. See
Section 7 for method of installing remaining vertical and ceiling
panels.
G. With installation complete, caulk the bases of the vertical panels
where they meet the concrete floor.
