16. To open door, open outer cover and remove door cover or tie back to bin, remove center post, unbolt
door panels from door frame. Do not remove hinges or unbolt door panels from one another. Swing
door panels open to remove center column. Provisions should be made to hold the door panels open
while center column is being removed and bin is being cleaned. Unbolt top of center column from
header beam and remove shim plate. Slide center column section inside off the threshold weldment,
tilt outward and remove. Caution center column is extremely heavy and proper equipment should be
used for removal. Temporary ramps should be made to avoid driving over the door panel attachment
plates of the threshold weldment. Once the bin is fully emptied, re-install the center column section,
close door panels and bolt panels to door frame. It may be necessary to reseal around door panels
and column weldments. Close outer cover and reseal as necessary. Inspect all decals each time
door is opened and replace if damaged or missing.
