4. Start at bin wall with shortest floor piece. POSITION SUPPORTS FOR THIS PIECE AS SHOWN ON
SUPPORT LAYOUT FOR CORRECT BIN DIAMETER AND SUPPORT SPACING. Be sure flat side
of floor piece is facing bin wall and is at designated distance from the wall (The open channel edge of
floor must be facing the center of the bin.)
5. POSITION THE NEXT ROW OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE CHALK LINES
and support
layout. The straight tab should “snap” under the first (previous) floor piece. After the supports in the
row are correctly positioned, install the next floor piece by hooking the open channel edge under the
outside hooks of the floor supports. Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it snaps
into the previous floor piece.
Continue this process for the rest of the floor cutting
planks for center and intermediate wells as needed.
for center well
support locations.
NOTE: Whenever there is more than Dimension B divided by three inches (B/3") of plank
unsupported beside the bin wall, there should be a support on that plank or a support
on each of the planks adjacent to it such that no more than Dimension B divided by
three inches (B/3") is unsupported. For example: 2.66" bin with 8 rings has a “B”
dimension of 22". Take 22"/3" = 7.33" (Round to 7"). Therefore, there should be no more
than 7" of unsupported floor plank.
IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start at the
proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to floor
layout
. First piece may need to be
trimmed for length to fit at the proper location.
