Page 4 DISCLAIMERS Foundation Design The foundations for the stiffened bin models are based on 4000 lbs. per sq. ft. (192 kPa) soil bearing capacity. All foundation designs use 3000 lbs. per sq. in. (21 MPa) ultimate compressive strength (after 28 days) for concrete and 43,500 lbs. per sq. in. (300 MPa) re-bar. The foundation designs included in this manual are suggestions only, and will vary according to local soil conditions. Westeel will not assume any liability for results arising from their use. IMPORTANT:Foundation should be uniform and level. Level should not vary by more than ¼" over a span of four feet under the bottom ring angle. Any variance from level must be shimmed under upright base assembly. If being utilized to support a full floor aeration system, this levelness requirement should extend across the complete floor area. Method of Erection The recommendations for erecting Westeel Grain Bins should be closely followed to achieve the full strength of the bin and to achieve adequate weather sealing. Warranty is void if the recommendations are not followed including but not limited to: 1. Wall sheets and/or uprights, which are not specified for a given tier, are used. 2. Foundations are found to be inadequate or out-of-level. 3. Anchor bolts (cast-in-place, drill-in, chemical type or other) are found to be inadequate. 4. Off-center loading or unloading is used. This does not apply to the use of approved side unloading systems. 5. Materials stored are not free-flowing or have a compacted bulk density greater than 55 lbs/ft3 (880 kg/m3). If using Bin Jacks: Always lift on an upright. Choose a hoist with a suitable capacity for the expected empty bin deadload. Make sure the rated capacity of the hoist is not exceeded. Design These Westeel Grain Bins are designed for: 1. Non-corrosive, free-flowing materials up to 55 lbs/ft3 (880 kg/m3) average compacted bulk density. 2. Maximum horizontal gusted wind speed of 94 mph (151 km/h). 3. Seismic zone 2a (U.B.C. 1997). 4. 15.0 lbs/ft2 (.72 kPa) roof snow load. 24.0 lbs/ft2 (1.15 kPa) roof snow load when the optional roof stiffening rings are installed. 5. 4000 lbs. (17.8 kN) evenly distributed on peak ring for 15’ – 24’ bins. 5000 lbs. (22.2 kN) evenly distributed on peak ring for 27’ – 48’ bins. Page 5 Site and Assembly Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing, Westeel does not take responsibility for any defects or damages to any property, or injury to any persons, arising from or related to any site or assembly considerations, including but not limited to: • Bin location and bin siting; • Soil conditions and corresponding foundation requirements (note that the examples provided in manuals are for specifically stated soil conditions); • Bin assembly (Westeel recommends the use of qualified bin installers; contact Westeel for information on installers in your area); • Field modifications or equipment additions that affect the bin structure; and • Interconnections with neighbouring structures. • Compliance with all applicable safety standards, including but not limited to fall restraint systems (ladders or other systems). Local safety authorities should be contacted as standards vary between jurisdictions. Critical Assembly Requirements 1. Local code and jurisdictional requirements that are applicable to the grain bin installation must be adhered to. 2. Foundations must be designed for the loads being imparted to them, and for local soil conditions. Westeel foundation guidelines are for a set of stated conditions and may not be applicable to local conditions. 3. A foundation must provide uniform and level support to the grain bin structure being supported. Surface imperfections causing gapping must be remedied. This may involve, but not be limited to - grouting under the bottom ring of a non-stiffened bin, and shimming under the uprights of a stiffened bin or under the legs of a hopper. 4. If extending an existing bin, ensure that the foundation is adequate for the increased loads that will be subjected to it. 5. If installing an existing bin on a hopper, ensure that the bin is designed for a hopper application, and that the foundation is capable of withstanding the substantial point loads that the hopper legs apply. If uprights are present, ensure that they are supported. 6. Ensure that the proper hardware is utilized for all bolted connections. Refer to the ‘Hardware “Where Used” Chart’ in the Installation Manual. If a shortage occurs do not substitute. Take the necessary steps to obtain the proper hardware. Ensure nuts are tightened to the required torque values as provided in the Installation Manual. 7. Refer to the appropriate Installation Manual to ensure a safe, proper structure, in particular but not exclusively for the wall sheet and upright layouts. Do not deviate from the layouts provided. 8. Ensure that an integral end-to-end connection exists between mating uprights. Successive uprights must not overlap. Page 6 9. Vertical tolerances between uprights and wall sheets are tight. This can be affected by “jacking” techniques, which can allow the tolerance to grow or shrink depending on the technique used. The gapping between successive uprights must be monitored to ensure that upright holes align with bin sheet holes. 10. When installing roof stiffening rings, and if it is necessary to shorten the stiffening ring tubes, shorten them as little as possible. Initially the nuts on the expanders should be centered and as close together as possible. When tightening, share the amount of take-up between expanders such that the nuts remain centered, and the amount of engagement between all expanders on the same ring is equalized. 11. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, ensure that the bin is round. The maximum variation from perfect roundness is 3/4" on the radius (see details in "wall sheet and bottom angle " section of manual). Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor bolt holes (away from bin) to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling. Grain Bin Use 1. Do not off-center unload a grain bin. It is imperative to unload from the center of the bin first, until as much grain as possible has been removed, and only then proceed to unload from the next closest unload gate to the center. Continue utilizing the unload gates in succession from the center towards the outside. Gate control mechanisms should be clearly marked and interconnected to prevent an external gate from being opened first. 2. The only exception to center unloading is when a properly designed and installed side draw system is utilized. However, as bins tend to go out of round when employing side draws, the bin must be completely emptied before refilling. 3. When unloading a bin with a mobile auger through a properly designed auger chute, the entry end of the auger should be pushed into the center of the bin before the auger is engaged. Slower rates of flow are preferable and should not exceed the capacity of an 8” auger. 4. Ensure that the inner door panels of grain bin doors are completely closed and latched before filling the grain bin. 5. Never enter a loaded grain bin for any reason. Grain can be a killer. Product Storage Rust on Galvanized Parts 1. White rust forms when moisture is allowed to collect on galvanized surfaces that have yet to develop the durable zinc oxide layer. This zinc oxide layer naturally occurs as the surface interacts with carbon dioxide, and is characterized over time by the dull grey appearance that weathered galvanized surfaces get. 2. Parts that are not well ventilated or well drained can collect water between surfaces and develop white rust. 3. White rust is not a structural concern if its development is stopped in the early stages. A light film or powdery residue can occur after a period of heavy rainfall or a short time of improper storage. If white rust has started to develop, separate parts and wipe off any moisture. Next, using a clean cloth, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or food-grade oil to the entire part. Page 7 4. If moisture is left on parts, this white rust can become more aggressive and turn into red rust. Red rust can cause degradation in the material and become a structural concern. Any parts that have red rust should be replaced immediately. Storage Guidelines 1. Keep all bundles dry before assembly of the bin. Start assembly as soon as possible. Do not lay bundles on the bare ground, raise all bundles 6” – 8” off the ground on wood blocks or timbers. Store curved wall sheets ‘hump-up’. All other bundles material should be placed so that they are well sloped to promote good drainage. 2. Roof sheets must be elevated at least 12” at the small end of the sheets. 3. Temporary storage can be provided by erecting a simple framework supporting a waterproof tarp. 4. All bin boxes, ladder boxes and hardware boxes should be stored inside. These are not waterproof, and will deteriorate in normal weather conditions, allowing moisture to contact the parts inside. If Parts Become Wet 1. If goods become submerged or wet, the bundles should be opened as soon as possible, sheets or material separated and dried. Keep separated until assembly. Brace goods properly so as to avoid damage or injury from material falling when in storage. 2. Any boxed goods that become wet should be dried and stored in a new box that is free of moisture. 3. In addition to wiping down wallsheets, a food-grade oil can also be applied with a clean, lint-free cloth. This will assist in preventing any further moisture from contacting the galvanizing on the steel. Due to safety concerns with installation and use, Westeel does not recommend the use of oil on other parts such as roof sheets and safety ladders. Page 8 236564 236088 IMPORTANT NOTES 1. In order to maintain your wall sheets in good condition separate sheets and allow air circulation between them. Store sheets in a dry place. Do not store sheets with sheet ends pointing upwards. 2. To keep an even pressure on walls, the bin must always be unloaded from the centre. 3. Contact local power officials for minimum power line clearance. 4. See "Disclaimers - Design" for materials which can be stored. 5. Tighten all bolts to the recommended torque setting (see Recommended Bolt Torques table in Appendix). 6. Do not locate grain bin close to high buildings, which might cause snow to fall onto or build up on the roof of the grain bin. Consider future expansion and allow space for loading and unloading of the bin. Your dealer and local government agricultural consultants can help you plan your storage system for maximum efficiency. Shortages and Damaged Parts; Report damaged parts or shortages immediately to the delivering carrier, followed by a confirming letter requesting inspection by the carrier, if required. Order any replacement parts immediately to ensure that assembly will not be held up by missing parts. All parts will be charged for and credit will be issued by party at fault - no credit will be issued if freight bill are signed as received in good condition. Order Optional Equipment; Optional equipment such as unloading augers, aeration equipment, anchor bolts, foundation sealant, external ladders, safety cage and platforms, etc., should all be on site and checked before assembly starts. Plan your installation in advance. For details, see assembly instructions supplied with optional equipment.

The use of a string anchored and centered on the concrete foundation to scribe a circle is required (see chart below for calculated radii. These radiuses are 3/4" smaller than the wall sheet radius at the bottom, so that the scribed circle can be seen during assembly). A perfectly placed ring of sheets should be 3/4" on the outside of this line all the way around. This should be the first step in assembling a bin. The maximum amount that a bin can be out of round is 3/4" on the radius, when measured from the center of the bin. In addition the wall sheets must form a smooth circle with no flat or elongated portions. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, ensure again that the bin is round, within tolerance. Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor bolt holes (away from bin) to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling.

WALL SHEET CAULKING DETAIL Inside view shown) Page 22 COMMERCIAL BIN UPRIGHT ASSEMBLY Introduction: The Westeel Commercial upright system consists of uprights and laminates. Single uprights, joined by splice plates, are used at the top of bins. Laminate sections are introduced when vertical load requirements dictate. Once introduced the laminates continue to be utilized for the balance of the assembly. A unique feature of the Westeel upright system is the progressive section. Not only do the uprights and laminates increase in gauge from the top to the bottom of the bin, they also increase in section. Progressive Sections Both upright and laminate sections measure 88” long. In the center of each there are vertical holes spaced at 2” centers. This permits use on both internally and externally stiffened bins. There are two locations on each wall sheet for attachment of the uprights. The wall sheet holes that mate with the uprights are spaced at 4” centers. Therefore only half of the center upright holes get used. Which set of holes depends on whether the bin is internally or externally stiffened. The center holes not being used do not need to be filled with bolts. All other upright holes must be filled with bolts. Upright/Laminate Identification: In order to properly erect the bin it is necessary to distinguish uprights from laminates, it is necessary to determine the gauge of the part, and it is necessary to determine the width of the section. The various combinations are provided in the upright/ laminate table. It is also necessary to determine the orientation of the parts as there is a distinct top and bottom. All the information that is required for erection is contained on the label. The label, is the easiest means of identification. It contains all of the necessary information. For assembly purposes, the label is placed on the bottom of both uprights and laminates. Upright labels have solid colours and laminate labels are striped. For both uprights and laminates, the colour corresponds with gauge and style (see table next page). Each upright and laminate has a unique identifying letter. This is prominently displayed on the label, and corresponds with the respective assembly charts provided (see Upright/Laminate Graphic) 5.5” 6.5” 10”UPRIGHTS:LAMINATES:NOT ALL SECTIONS ARE USED ON ALL BINSUPRIGHTC232703CUPRIGHT CTHIS END DOWNMADE IN CANADACORIENTATIONDESCRIPTIONPART NUMBERIDENTIFYING LETTERSHADED FORUPRIGHTS.

The identifying letter on the label is the easiest means of identification. In addition to the identifying letter, every upright and laminate is also identified by gauge and width. If for some reason the label is missing from a part, the following table contains information that will aid in the identification of the various parts.

This allows easier access to connect and disconnect the bin jack lifting lug to the uprights when boxed uprights are used. See base assembly diagram on previous page for details on how the 24” make-up section is installed. When using the 24” make-up section #232779, note that the “L” laminate is offset 28” higher than the corresponding uprights instead of the normal 4” offset. Note: When using the 24” make-up section, some bolt holes on the “GY”, “JK” and “L” uprights do not line up. These holes do not need to field drilled. Where the “L” laminate overlaps the “GY” combination the top of the “L” laminate does not need to be bolted, as shown below. 20.0”J K L 232779JJGKKYLLDOES NOTNEED TO BEBOLTED TO “GY”Page 25 ALL BOLT HOLES INTHE UPRIGHT ANDLAMINATE FLANGESMUST BE FILLEDCL LAMINATEUPRIGHT 4” LOCATOR HOLES UPRIGHTSPLICE3/8” x 1”BOLT3/8” NUT Upright and Laminate Assembly: Uprights and laminates are designed to transfer vertical loads through an end to end, butt connection. Ensure that mating uprights sit squarely on top of each other and do not overlap. Ensure that mating laminates sit squarely on top of each other and do not overlap. Secure the joints with the nuts and bolts provided. Failure to do so can result in structural failure. In the assembly layouts, the combination of an upright and a laminate is called an assembly. For example, the combination of a “C” upright and a “U” laminate would be called a “CU Assembly”. Both the “C” on the upright label and the “U” on the laminate label, would remain visible, and would therefore remain distinguishable from other pre-assemblies. Base Assembly (for uprights laminate sections): At the bottom of an assembled bin that has laminates, there will be a 4” gap between the bottom laminate and the base plate. It is imperative that this area is filled with the 4” laminate section that protrudes from the base plate. In many cases this part can also be added to the bottom upright/laminate assembly during pre-assembly.

They consist of a heavy 10” wide upright segment (J), a heavy 10” wide laminate section (K), and another 5.5” wide laminate section (L) that is used to form a box. The 10” wide segments (JK) can be pre-assembled as previously indicated. The remaining 5.5” wide section (L) cannot be installed until after the JK pre-assembly has been bolted to the bin, the base plate has been positioned, and all of the center bolts tightened. The 5.5” wide section (L) can then be bolted to JK along the mating flange holes. L rests against the base plate. To prevent water from damming in the boxed section, install the cap plate (232738) as shown.

When progressing around the bin, this space between the end of the tube and the next uprights may shrink with each additional tube that is installed. On large diameter bins, if this space shrinks to the point where the wind ring splice interferes with the upright, then the tube will need to be cut. Make the cut such that the space that is created between the end of the tube and the next upright is similar to the identical space on the first tube that was installed. In this manner, there will not be a shortage of tube. The final wind ring tube in a circle will need to be cut to length. Secure one end of the last tube in the previously installed wind ring splice as described above. Hold the tube in place and mark the cut-line relative to the previously installed tube at the other end. Insure that allowance is made for the 3/8” diameter bolt. Once the tube has been cut, install one end of the tube as described above. On the other end slide the wind ring splice completely onto the free end. Position this end relative to the previously installed tube, and slide the splice onto the second tube until it is centered. Insert the centering bolt. Install all wind ring clips. Tighten all bolts. Internally Stiffened Bins The locations of the wind ring tubes for internally stiffened bins are identical to those for externally stiffened bins. See the “O”, as shown in the wall sheet and upright layout, located beside a horizontal wall sheet seam. The tubes are mounted to the outside of the bin. When assembling the internal uprights, bolt on the short wind ring bracket (same as upright splice 232720), such that it is just above the horizontal seam as shown. These need to be mounted consistently around the bin at every upright location. The actual installation of the wind ring tubes is identical to that described in the externally stiffened bin section above. Assembly Tip: When placing the first wind ring tube in place, place one end close to an upright with a 8” to 10” overhang, and continue building from that end. This will reduce the need for multiple cuts. Assembly Tip: When tightening wind ring clips, always tighten in sequence starting at the spliced end of the tube, which has already been secured, and work towards the free, and as yet unspliced, end. 3/8” x 1½”BOLTWIND RINGTUBE3/8” SPACERNUTHORIZONTALSEAMWIND RINGBRACKETWIND RINGCLIP3/8” x 1½”BOLT & NUTSEALINGWASHERINTERNALUPRIGHT3/8” NUTSPACERWIND RINGBRACKETWIND RINGCLIPWIND RINGTUBE3/8” x 1½”BOLT & NUTSEALINGWASHERPage 30 WIND RING ASSEMBLY Wind rings fulfill their function when the bin is empty or partially filled. In high winds, the wind rings provide extra stiffness and help keep the bin round. Not all bins require wind rings. Bin diameter and height determine the location and the quantity of wind rings required. Wind ring locations are identified by an “O” placed beside the relevant uprights within the wall sheet and upright layouts for the bin in question. At these locations wind ring tubes are secured to the upright flanges with a series of clips that bolt into the upright locator holes that are located in the flanges of the 5.5” wide upright and upright/laminate combinations. Adjacent tubes are aligned and secured to each other with wind ring splices. A 3/8” x 3¾” bolt through the splice keeps it centered on the connection. Externally Stiffened Bins Once the uprights have been secured to the bin walls, position the first wind ring tube and secure it to the upright using the wind ring clips provided. Two clips are required per upright, one on each flange. Position the wind ring such that a wind ring splice (with bolt inserted) can be slipped onto the end of the tube without interfering with the upright or the wind ring clips. The splice should be orientated such that the bolt is horizontal. Insert the end of the next wind ring tube into the open end of the wind ring splice. Insure that the ends of both tubes are tight against the centering bolt. Secure the wind ring tube to the uprights with the wind ring clips. Continue around the bin. All wind ring splice connections should be made in the space between uprights, and should not encroach into the area where the wind ring clips are securing the wind ring tube to the uprights. To avoid interference with uprights and the need to make multiple cuts, position an end of the first tube relatively close to an upright, such that the space between the end of the tube and the next upright is maximized, and build from that end. Insure that both ends of the tube are far enough away from the closest uprights to avoid POSITION 1ST SPLICE 8” TO10” FROM UPRIGHT ANDBUILD FROM THIS END INTHIS DIRECTIONWALL SHEETUPRIGHTWIND RING CLIPWIND RINGSPLICEWIND RINGTUBECENTERING 3/8” x 3¾”BOLT AND NUTINSURE BUTT ENDS OF WINDRING TUBES ARE TIGHTAGAINST CENTERING BOLTFIGURE 13/8” x 1½” BOLTWIND RINGTUBEWINDRINGCLIPUPRIGHTFIGURE 23/8” NUTPage 29 Page 31 PLANNING THE LOCATION OF LADDER COMPONENTS Timing of the positions of ladder, eaves rails, roof stairs or roof ladders, platforms and inside ladders, with respect to each other, and other bin components is very important. Consideration of this must be given to this during the planning stages before erection of the bin is initiated. The following are some points to consider. Inside Ladders – The inside ladder sections bolt to existing holes in the horizontal seams of the wall sheets which are spaced at a consistent 9 3/8”. The inside ladders should also be centered on the roof panel that contains the inspection hatch opening. Therefore this roof panel should be centered on the horizontal wall sheet hole that is also the intended center of the inside ladder sections. Spinning the top ring angles, and roof sheets, relative to this location on the wall sheets, may be required to achieve optimum fit-up. Roof Stairs or Roof Ladders – The external ladder sections bolt to existing holes in the horizontal seams of the wall sheets. The roof stairs, or roof ladders, bolt to the ribs of roof panels. The roof stairs, or roof panels, are also positioned to the right, or left, of the inspection hatch. The latter should be centered on the inside ladders, if present. It may also be desirable to position the roof stairs, or roof ladders, relative to some external elements such as overhead conveyors, or catwalks. Therefore the roof panel to which the roof stairs, or roof ladders, are bolted to, must be centered as much as possible, to the center of the external ladder and eaves rails. Spinning the top ring angles, and roof sheets, relative to the wall sheets, to align this roof panel relative to the intended location of the external ladder may be required to achieve optimum fit-up. Uprights – Stiffened bins must be given additional consideration since the external ladder/platform combinations must be mounted on either side of a stiffener location. On a stiffened wall sheet the upright locations can be identified by the line of vertical holes set in from either end (see page 14). Therefore, for fully featured bins containing external ladders, eaves rails, platforms, roof stairs or roof ladders, and inside ladders, the following is an example of the timing considerations that should be undertaken prior to the construction of the bin. • Select the location of the various ladder components relative to external elements such as conveyors or catwalks. • Select the location of the various ladder components relative to other bin elements such as stencil sheets, door openings, remote vent opener, etc. • Determine the upright location that the external ladder sections and platforms will be centered on. During the initial assembly phases mark these locations on the top ring of wall sheets. For non-stiffened bins this is not a consideration. • Determine if the inspection hatch is located on the right, or left side of the external ladder sections. • Locate the top ring angles and roof panels relative to this position such that the roof panel containing the inspection hatch is centered, as much as possible, on the hole in the wall sheet that depicts the center of the inside ladder sections. In general, the center of the inside ladder sections should be 37 ½” (or 4 horizontal wall sheet spaces @ 9 3/8”) to the right or left of the center of the external ladder sections. • In the absence of an internal ladder, center the roof panel to which the roof stairs or roof ladders are being bolted to, to the center of the external ladder sections.

ON STIFFENED BINS, THE POSITION OF THE SIDEWALL LADDER RELATIVE TO THE UPRIGHTS CAN BE IMPORTANT (SEE BELOW). IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO POSITION THE ROOF RELATIVE TO THE UPRIGHTS WHEN INITIALLY ASSEMBLING TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH THE UPRIGHT.

Page 35 Openings in Bin Wall Sheets General Guidelines: • Any openings put in bin wall sheets should preferably be centered within the wall sheet in both the horizontal and vertical directions. For a bin with uprights, the opening should occur between the two uprights on the wall sheet in question. There should be no openings between an upright and a vertical wall sheet seam. There can be no openings straddling a vertical or horizontal wall sheet seam. Do not cut uprights. • In some cases an opening can be off-center. Guidelines are provided. • Openings generally need to be reinforced. When a laminating sheet is required, preferably a full sheet is utilized. A shorter sheet can be utilized, however at least 18” of laminating wall sheet material must extend on either side of the penetration, and the holes used to attach the laminating wall sheet to the base wall sheet must match that of the adjacent vertical seam. At least 1” of edge distance is required. If the laminating sheet crosses any stiffener holes, these holes must be drilled out as well and filled with the required bolts. • Round holes are preferable. Square or rectangular holes are permitted, however the cut lines should run horizontally and vertically (i.e. parallel to the edges of the wall sheet). Avoid sharp corners. Rounded corners (1 ½” radius or greater) are preferred. • The following specific guidelines contain additional information. If the application in question does not comply with these guidelines, consult with a Westeel Technical Sales Representatives. Specific Guidelines: • Small, round openings less than 4” (d = 4”) in diameter are permitted without the need for additional reinforcement. The edge of the opening must not be placed closer than 12” from a horizontal or vertical wall sheet bolt seam. • Openings up to 17” (d = 17”, h = 17”) are permitted with a laminating sheet equal in gauge to the base wall sheet. An edge distance of at least 8” to the nearest horizontal bolt seam and at least 18” to the nearest vertical wall sheet bolt seam is required. • For larger openings up to 28” (d = 28”, h = 28”) consult the following table for the part number of the base wall sheet in question in order to determine the required laminating wall sheet. Openings must be centered vertically on the wall sheet and no closer than 18” to a vertical wall sheet bolt seam. • For openings greater than 28” (d > 28”, h > 28”) or for openings in laminated wall sheets, contact a Westeel Technical Sales Representative. • For aeration transition holes below a full floor aeration system, the opening must be centered along the length of the wall sheet, and between uprights. The transition must not interfere with uprights, and uprights cannot be cut or bent in any manner. The opening must be below the plane of the aeration floor and above the top edge of the bottom ring angle. Do not cut through the bottom ring angle. The transition must accommodate vertical load transfer. diameter<= (INCH) 4 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 SHEET SHEETBASE SHT REINFORCING SHEET THICKNESS THICKNSS PARTTHICKNSS (INCH) (INCH) (INCH) No.0.040 NOT REQ'D 0.040 0.050 0.050 0.050 0.057 0.057 0.066 0.066 0.076 0.076 0.096 0.096 0.040 1946790.050 NOT REQ'D 0.050 0.057 0.057 0.066 0.066 0.076 0.076 0.096 0.096 0.096 0.116 0.116 0.050 1946800.057 NOT REQ'D 0.057 0.066 0.066 0.076 0.076 0.096 0.096 0.096 0.116 0.116 0.126 0.126 0.057 1946810.066 NOT REQ'D 0.066 0.076 0.076 0.096 0.096 0.096 0.116 0.116 0.126 0.126 0.139 0.168 0.066 1946820.076 NOT REQ'D 0.076 0.096 0.096 0.096 0.116 0.116 0.126 0.126 0.139 0.168 0.168 0.168 0.076 1946830.096 NOT REQ'D 0.096 0.116 0.116 0.126 0.126 0.139 0.168 0.168 0.168 0.096 1946840.116 NOT REQ'D 0.116 0.126 0.139 0.139 0.168 0.168 0.168 0.116 1946850.126 NOT REQ'D 0.126 0.139 0.168 0.168 0.168 0.126 1946060.139 NOT REQ'D 0.139 0.168 0.168 0.168 CONSULT TECHNICAL SALES 0.139 1946070.168 NOT REQ'D 0.168 0.168 194608Page 36 IMPORTANTNOTE CORRECTORIENTATION OFBAFFLES (NARROWEND OF OPENINGAT TOP)Side Draw Applications In certain situations there may be a desire to use a side draw system to unload the bin. In these cases special side draw flumes must be installed along the wall of the bin. This allows the commodity to be drawn from the top of the bin, reducing stresses on the bin wall. Because they draw from the side, they do not exert stresses which can cause the bin to go out of round. Bins with sidewall heights greater than 24' must have wind rings installed. This will prevent this from occurring. Please see your dealer for details. If the bin is installed with more than one sidewall draw system, only one may be used at a time. If a sidewall has been used, and not all of the commodity has been removed from the bin, the bin must still be unloaded from the centre bottom discharge to ensure that the commodity reaches equal heights around the walls of the bin. Failure to do so will cause uneven wall stresses, which could cause the bin to go out-of-round. Bin failure could eventually occur.
