1. Safety Safety Guidelines This manual contains information that is important for you, the owner/operator, to know and understand. This information relates to protecting personal safety and preventing equipment problems. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to inform anyone operating or working in the area of this equipment of these safety guidelines. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols that are defined below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections.
1. Safety Safety Instructions Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with this equipment. We want to keep you as a customer. This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some problems which may be encountered by the operator and other personnel. As owner and/or operator, it is your responsibility to know what requirements, hazards and precautions exist, and to inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area.
1. Safety Prepare for Emergencies Be prepared if fire starts. Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy. Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service, hospital and fire department near your telephone. Keep Emergency Equipment Quickly Accessible Wear Protective Clothing Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Eye Protection Remove all jewelry. Long hair should be tied up and back.
2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation Fan Placement Diagram For uniform air flow, place the fans in relation to the unloading tube as shown in Figure 2A. Floor planks should be perpendicular to the unloading tube.
2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation Grain Systems Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation Using the GSI recommended method for full floor installation should save construction time and eliminate the problem of improper installation which could invalidate your warranty. Note the following dimensions as shown in Figure 2B. • Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.
2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start at the proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to floor layout on Page 13. First piece may need to be trimmed for length to fit at the proper location. Figure 2C 4. Install flooring starting at the bin wall on the opposite side of the unload auger. Floor planks should be placed perpendicular to the unload auger with the outside edge the correct distance from the center of the bin.

4. Flashing Installation Figure 4A Grain Systems Formed Flashing Installation If a bin sweep auger will be used, overlap flashing so that the sweep with climb up on to the next flashing section when rotating (usually clockwise). (See Figure 4A.) This will prevent the rotating/slipping outer wheel of the sweep from catching on the flashing edges. (All GSI power sweeps and carry-in sweeps manufactured after April 2002 run clockwise.

10. Flashing Support at Stiffeners Stiffener Flashing Support Instructions for Internal Universal Stiffeners 1. Install the floor and support system, cutting the floor to go around the internal stiffeners as required. 2. Break the stiffener flashing support (SS-6984) into its three (3) components. 3. Lay the flashing supports on top of the flooring and weld the flashing supports to the stiffener as close as possible. Fasten the flashing to the wall, flashing support, and floor.
11. Air Flow Support Instructions Installation of Air Flow Supports 1. Determine the spacing and quantity of air flow supports required from the chart on Page 29. Make sure that the correct supports have been ordered for use with the proper depth of plank (either 1-1/8" or 1-3/8" deep). 2. Mark center of bin. 3. Install discharge auger. 4. Mark spacing lines parallel to discharge auger. 5.
11. Air Flow Support Instructions The following Figure 11A show methods of support placement to achieve the necessary spacing close to discharge augers and sumps.

11. Air Flow Support Instructions Notes: 1. Use a maximum spacing of 16" for perforated corrugated flooring. 2. The number of supports listed is based on the maximum peaked capacity of each bin. 3. Use extra single supports for split floors. 4. Extra supports are required for grain recirculating equipment. Use the manufacturer’s recommendation for the number and spacing of extra supports. NOTE: For Grain Flows, Air Flow Supports are doubled in a 14' diameter in the center of the floor. 5.
