Start attaching ladder at the eave (top) of the Bulk Feed Tank. After the first ladder section has
been attached to the sidewall of tank, attach ladder extension rails to the ladder as shown. Refer
to
Page 52 for proper ladder placement in relation to the eave of the tank. Use 5/16" bin bolts
and nuts on all safety cage connections. Attach hoop brackets and adjustable safety cage
braces to the top of the extension rails. Now attach the opposite end of the adjustable brace to
the roof ladder rail. After completing this, drill two (2) 5/16" holes through the adjustable brace
and use 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts to secure the two braces together.
Add the safety cage hoops to the brackets and attach vertical supports to the hoops. Continue
adding ladder sections and safety cage as sidewall rings are attached. Included in your safety
cage package are two (2) Bell hoop halves which should be located at the bottom of the safety
cage. Follow all drawings and details for proper placement of parts and proper location of safety
cage.
Note: Belled safety cage section parts are color code: RED.
