Raising Bin to Set on Foundation
Be sure that all bolts are tightened properly. The Bulk Feed Tank can now be set up on foundation. A crane
of adequate capacity attached to a spider assembly with cables connecting at each vertical sidewall seam
just above the legs will usually do the job. Reference a qualified rigger.
Anchoring Tank
Check all legs to see if shims are necessary to level the tank properly (shims are to be obtained locally).
After Bulk Feed Tank is level and shimmed properly, anchor the tank down with 5/8" washers and nuts.
