The outside ladder needs to be assembled as the
bin is being raised. Refer to pages 50-53 for
ladder instructions. At this time bolt the fan
entrance frame(s) into the opening(s). The wide
portion of the frame should go toward the
bottom. Field drill the holes for the tension ring
in the fan entrance header. Also install the
stiffeners on either side of the fan entrance frame
at this time as well (fig. d)

guides for the control pipes. As the bin is being
built add control pipes as shown in the chart below.
