C. With a small jack, or using the lever and fulcrum method (such as a length of board and a small
wooden block), gently lift the affected side of the unit until the Caster is clear of the floor (1" is
sufficient). Shim or block the bottom of the unit to hold it up and remove the lifting device. Lift
and repair one side at a time.
D. Complete the repair (see To Replace Caster) and reverse this procedure to lower the unit to the
floor.
To Lay Unit Down - -
A. Disconnect any service lines (electrical or water) to the unit.
B. Move the unit to a level surface that provides a good work area.
C. Engage all Caster locks.
D. Remove the Side Access Panel [76] from the side of the unit with the defective Caster. Also
remove any unnecessary weight from the unit such as pans, trays and shelves. Even the Doors
can be lifted off.
E. Place a 2x4, stacked lumber or any similar item BEHIND the rear Casters and immediately
under the back bottom edge of the unit. Have another piece handy to place under the top of the
unit.
F. With plenty of help and extreme care gently tilt the unit back onto the spacer behind the Casters
and lower it to the floor. Allow it to rest on the second spacer (keep this spacer as close to the
top of the unit as possible to avoid damage to the outside back).
G. Complete the repair (refer to TO REPLACE CASTER) and reverse this procedure to stand the
unit upright. It is a wise precaution to station someone in front of the unit while it is being raised
to prevent the unit from skipping out at the bottom.
To Replace Caster - -
A. Remove the Side Access Panel [76] from the side of the unit with the defective Caster.
B. Remove all weight from the affected Caster (see To Raise Unit... or To Lay Unit Down).
C. Use a 7/16" wrench or socket to remove the four nuts on the Caster mounting bolts. Remove the
mounting bolts from the base of the unit and remove the defective Caster.
D. Position the replacement Caster under the unit base and insert the mounting bolts. Install and
tighten the nuts.
E. Replace the Side Access Panel. Be careful not to pull or pinch any wires when replacing this
Panel.
IMPORTANT: LIFT AND REPAIR FROM THE SIDE ONLY WITH THE DOORS
SECURELY TAPED CLOSED OR REMOVED. DO NOT LIFT UNIT FROM THE
