(VTDL-0293) to header angle and threshold weldment. Apply caulking to the top and bottom of
center post. Assemble door outer cover, reinforcement channels, hinges, latch brackets and door
handles as shown
on Page 27 . 3/8" x 1" Bin bolts will be used for all connections. Use 3/8" nut and
sealing washer as spacer between latch bracket and outer cover. Place outer cover in doorframe

on Page 28 for connection details. Adjust door hinges and latches as necessary until door
opens and closes smoothly. Apply foam seal strip around perimeter of outer cover and caulk as
necessary to seal outer cover. Place decals DC-GBC-2A and DC-GBC-2S on the outer cover as
shown
on Page 28 .
16. To open door, open outer cover and remove door cover or tie back to bin, remove center post,
unbolt door panels from doorframe. Do not remove hinges or unbolt door panels from one another.
Swing door panels open to remove center column. Provisions should be made to hold the door
panels open while center column is being removed and bin is being cleaned. Unbolt top of center
column from header beam and remove shim plate. Slide center column section inside off the
threshold weldment, tilt outward and remove. Caution center column is extremely heavy and proper
equipment should be used for removal. Temporary ramps should be made to avoid driving over the
door panel attachment plates of the threshold weldment. Once the bin is fully emptied, re-install the
center column section, close door panels, and bolt panels to doorframe. It may be necessary to
re-seal around door panels and column weldments. Close outer cover and re-seal as necessary.
Inspect all decals each time door is opened and replace if damaged or missing.
