SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:

It is highly recommended that your

merchandiser refrigerator be installed by

an authorized Victory Certified Installer.

A. Receiving Shipment

Upon arrival, examine the exterior of the shipment packaging for any signs of rough handling.

If the cabinet is damaged, it should be noted on the delivery slip or bill of lading and signed to that effect. A claim must be filed immediately against the carrier indicating extent and estimated cost of damage incurred.

All units are performance tested and thoroughly inspected, prior to shipment. Upon leaving the factory, all units are in perfect condition and the carrier signs to this effect.

B. Uncrating Procedure

WARNING!!!!

DO NOT, Under Any Circumstances, Lay

Your New Equipment Down on Either The

Back, Front or Sides.

The shipping skid must be removed by tipping the model from side to side. Remove the leveler bolts while the model is held in one direction. Repeat this procedure when the model is held in the opposite direction.

TTENTION!!!!

DO NOT THROW AWAY THE FOUR (4)

LEVELER BOLTS!

*Note:Once the uncrating process is complete,

make sure the leveler bolts are safely and securely placed back on the bottom of the cabinet for proper support and leveling purposes.

CAUTION:

Exercise extreme caution when removing

the wooden skid especially when the last

bolt is removed, as the skid, if not properly

blocked, will fall to the floor with extreme

force.

C. Reducing Merchandiser Depth for

Narrow Facility Doorway

In order to pass through a narrow doorway or restricted area the door, front grille and hinge brackets may be removed to reduce the overall depth of the cabinet to a minimum or 30" deep.

1. Removing Hinged Doors

a. Loosen the top hinge bracket screws

while holding the top bracket down.

b. While holding the door against the

cabinet, lift the top bracket until it clears the top hinge pin.

c. Lift the door until the bottom hinge pin

clears the bottom hinge bracket.

d. Remove top and bottom hinge brackets

and mount on the other side of the

cabinet. Tighten bottom hinge bracket screws. Leave top hinge bracket screws loose.

e. Insert bottom hinge pin into hole in

bottom hinge bracket. f. Lower top hinge bracket onto top hinge

pin. Tighten the top hinge bracket.

D. Locating Your New Merchandiser

The following conditions should be considered when selecting a location for your merchandiser refrigerator.

1. Floor Load - The floor on which the cabinet will rest must be free of vibration and suitably strong enough to support the combined weights of the cabinet plus the maximum product load which might be

Section 2- Installation

placed into it. To estimate the possible product load weight it is generally conceded that a safe figure is 35 pounds for each net cubic foot storage space. For example, a 47 cubic foot cabinet could hold approximately 1645 pounds of product (47 x 35 = 1645).

2. Ventilation - The air cooled, self-contained merchandiser refrigerator requires a sufficient amount of cool, clean air. Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat generating equipment such as ovens, ranges, heaters, fryers, steam kettles, etc., and out of direct sunlight. Avoid locating the self-contained refrigerator in an unheated room, or where the room temperature may be below 55°F.

E. Installation of Optional Legs or Casters

Merchandisers are shipped with leveler bolts that can be used to level the cabinet. However, legs and casters can be supplied that are of the 1/2" single stud mount type and requires no tools for installation. Simply remove the leveler bolts and then screw the casters or legs into the threaded holes located on the case bottom. To install low-profile rollers, remove carriage bolts from caster mounting plates and insert stem into bolt hole and tighten nut. Make sure that torque of caster bracket is inserted into 1/2” hole. This will prevent caster from turning.

Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately eight inches and block it securely to keep it from falling. Use several pieces of 2 x 4 lumber or other suitable material. Screws the two left or right legs in snug. Repeat this procedure to install the other legs with the case bottom.

WARNING

Never, Under Any Circumstances,

Lay Your New Merchandiser Refrigerator

Down On Either It’s Back, Front or Sides.

F. Leveling

Cabinet must be leveled when installed. This is accomplished by rotating the leveler bolt. Failure to level your cabinet may result in

doors not sealing, closing properly or condensate water not draining properly.

G. Initial Cabinet Set-Up

Units are shipped with shelves. These items are secured to the rear of the cabinet directly on the wood skid.

1. Cleaning Cabinet

CAUTION:

DO NOT Use Abrasive Cleaning Solvents.

Never scour any part of your new cabinet. Scouring powders or chemicals may cause damage by scratching or dulling the surface finish. Prior to placing your new merchandiser refrigerator and all shelves into operation, it is advisable that the interior be washed thoroughly with a mild detergent and water solution. Rinse with clear water and a sanitizing solution. Allow cabinet to air dry.

For additional cleaning information, refer to the maintenance section of this service manual.

2. Installing Shelves

All merchandiser models include an interior which supports the adjustable and gravity organizing shelving.

Refer to pages 9 to 12 for detailed and illustrated shelf installation instructions for both standard shelving and beverage shelf kits.

H. Electric Supply

The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. A separate ground wire must be supplied for all installations. A properly wired merchandiser refrigerator will assure proper operation. Please consult the "Data" plate attached to the compressor to assure the electrical requirements are correct. Supply voltage requirements are on the cabinet serial plate. It is recommended that a direct, properly fused line of the proper size wire be installed

Section 2- Installation

from the main supply to your merchandiser. It is most important that a voltage reading be made at the compressor-motor electrical connections, or as close to the compressormotor as possible, while the merchandiser is in operation, to assure that the correct voltage required by the compressor is being supplied. Low or high voltage can detrimentally affect the refrigeration unit and thereby void its warranty.

All merchandiser refrigerator electrical systems are internally grounded. It is recommended that a bonding braid be secured to the base of the refrigerator and carried to a water pipe, to complete the ground.

I. Installation Checklist

After the cabinet has been installed, leveled and cleaned as described in the preceding paragraphs, refer to the following checklist prior to start-up.

••

Full voltage of the correct type, on a line not affected by the operation of other electrical appliances, must be available for proper operation. Condensing units are designed to operate with a voltage fluctuation of plus or minus 10% of the voltage indicated on the cabinet electrical data plate. Burn-out of a condensing unit due to exceeding the high or low voltage limits will void the factory warranty.

••

Leak check all exposed refrigeration lines. Make sure refrigeration lines are not dented, kinked or rubbing.

••

Check condenser fan for freedom to rotate without striking any stationary members.

••

Cabinet must be properly leveled.

••

Do Not become alarmed if a trace of freon gas is detected in the internal cabinet air. This may be due to refrigerant used in expanding the foam insulation used in this cabinet.

NOTE: All motors are lifetime oiled and

sealed. All self-contained models are shipped from the factory with the service valves opened ready for operation.

J. Location of Serial Number/Data Plate

The serial data plate is mounted on the upper left interior wall.

NOTE: When ordering replacement parts,

you must include the complete cabinet model and serial numbers.

Section 2- Installation

K. VM Standard Shelf Installation Instructions

Step 1 Step 2

Make sure plastic end caps are on the front left and right sides of the shelf before the installation process.

*Note: Putting shelving in the cabinet

without end caps will cause damage to the interior!

Tilt shelf at an angle and insert into cabinet.

Step 3

Insert the front shelf peg into the support hook on the side of the cabinet interior. Keep opposite shelf peg between front of upright support and door.

*Note: VM-1’s do not have an upright

support, place in opposite hook area.

Step 4

Position the rear of the shelf at the desired level using the peg from step 2 as the pivot point. Rest the rear corner of the shelf on the rear side support first, then lift and pivot shelf on to the supporting center of the cabinet interior.
