TOOLS NEEDED
You will need the following tools to assemble and install the casters to the
unit.
UNCRATING AND SET-UP
x Remove carton and all loose parts from inside of the unit.
x Carefully tip the unit onto its back with the help of an assistant. Lay the
unit gently to rest on blocks to avoid damaging the condensate drain
hose and the plastic raceway that covers the evaporator tubing on the
back of the cabinet.
x Remove and discard the wood skid from the bottom and the four (4)
screws using a 3/8” socket wrench (see Fig. 1).
x Using a large adjustable wrench, remove and discard the two (2) black
plastic leg levelers by turning it counterclockwise (see Fig. 2).
CASTER RAIL INSTALLATION
x Place a washer onto one of the six long bolts and slide bolt through the
hole located at the front of caster rail.
x Align the caster rail assembly with the right hand side of the unit.
x Align the bolt with the threaded hole in the front right foot pad of the
unit. Thread the bolt into the hole until finger tight (see Fig. 3).

x Place the tapping plate between the front bottom of the cabinet and
caster rails as depicted in Figure 6. Make sure the tapped holes in the
tapping plate align with the center slot in the caster rail.
x Next, place a washer on one of the six long bolts and then feed the bolt
through the hole in one of the swivel casters (see Fig. 4).
x Then, place the spacer plate on the caster and thread the caster bolt
into the hole in the tapping plate.
