6 • Installation & Operation
INSTALLATION & OpERATION
Only experienced, certied fork truck drivers should use fork trucks to move the cases. The case should only be lifted off the oor as high as
necessary for transport. The fork truck should be driven slowly to avoid any abrupt motions or bumps.
The following forklift dimensions must be maintained to avoid damaging the case when it is lifted:
2-DOOR CASES
Forks must extend from 26" to no more than 28" under the case.
3-DOOR CASES
Use 48" long forks!
Forks must extend from 39" to no more than 43" under the case.
4 & 5-DOOR CASES
Use 48" long forks!
Fork blades wider than 4" will not t in the bases.
Spacer blocks are factory-installed in the end bases of 4 and 5-door cases that use 4 1/2" bases. See Figure 8 on page 26. These blocks
limit the case's forward tilt while it is being lifted and must be used when lifting 4 or 5-door cases with 4 1/2" bases.
For low shipping height applications, Zero Zone has optional, expandable bases. As shipped, the base is 1 3/4" tall. It is attached with spacers
that allow the base to slide away from the bottom of the case to create a gap that allows the use of a 1 1/2" thick fork truck blade. See Figure 9
on page 26.
Lineup Assembly
Zero Zone display cases have been engineered for continuous display. This means that any number of cases can be joined together to create a
display of a desired length. The bottom of the end panel is protected with a removable steel plate.
The cases will be ready for assembly after removal of the packaging material.
Case caulking instructions are shipped with every case, explaining the proper procedure for joining cases. See Figure 10 on page 27.
Instructions on joining a Highlight
™
case to a Crystal Merchandiser
™
case are detailed as well. See Figure 14 on page 30 and See Figure 15
on page 31.
FIELD-INSTALLED CAULK SEALANT APPLICATION NOTES:
Butyl sealant is used to join cases and silicone or NSF approved sealant is used for NSF compliance. Sealants should not contact one another
as this may affect adhesion or color of each.
Remove all shipping blocks applied to inside of base ends before joining cases.
Remove end protection plate located below end on outside of case.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INTENT OF CASE JOINING INSTRUCTIONS WITH SEALANTS WILL CAUSE FROST INSIDE THE CASE.
For NSF case installation compliance, the interior case seams need to be sealed using NSF approved caulk (not supplied). See Figure 11 on
page 28.
