Securing the Unload Module
1. After determining the orientation of the unload module, use a 1-1/8" drill bit at least 12" long to drill
holes for the anchor bolts.
NOTE: Anchor bolts are 1" in diameter but the hole for them must be 1-1/8" in diameter to allow for
the required epoxy.
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen or remove the bolts on the X-braces to gain easier access to
the holes for the anchor bolts. If X-braces are removed or loosened to drill the anchor bolt
holes, be sure to tighten the X-braces again when done.

2. Use a laser transit to level the unload module.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use the compression channel as the point of reference for establishing
the levelness of the unit. Never use the feet/anchor plates to determine levelness.

CAUTION
While it is normal to encounter rebar on occasion when drilling the holes for anchor
bolts, should this happen more than 3 or 4 times, it is necessary to contact GSI for
splice plates to complete the drilling of the anchor bolt holes.
