All packages have been structured with the correct components for each ring height
grain bin from 4 rings to 24 rings. Be sure and follow the complete instruction sheets for
correct placement of parts. Failure to do so may result in improper fit of parts or shortage of
parts. Read through the complete set of instructions before proceeding with erection of grain
bin. Considerable thought must be given as to location of ladders and platforms in relation to
other equipment and structures.
STARTING LOCATION OF LADDERS
Ladder placement is very critical as to assure proper fit of all parts later on as safety
cage is bolted in place. Locate the proper place for the roof ladder and manway this will
establish the location of the ladder. Ladder must be centered directly below the roof ladder.
Refer to the diagram below for proper location of field drilled holes (3/8"). Holes must be
18 3/4" apart and 8" below the top horizontal row of holes directly in line with the holes to be
used for the platform mounting angle. Platform must be located 9 3/8" to the right of the ladder
holes. All of these dimensions are very critical to assure proper fit of all parts!
