sharp edges with caution and always use proper protective clothing and equipment.
General Safety Statement
Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with grain handling equipment.
This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some problems that may be
encountered by the operator and other personnel.
As owner and/or operator, you are responsible to know what requirements, hazards, and precau tions exist
and inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area. Safety precautions may be required
from the personnel. Avoid any alterations to the equipment, which may produce a very dangerous
situation, where SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH may occur.
You should consider the location of the bin site relative to power line locations or electrical transmission
equipment. Contact your local power company to review your installation plan or for information
concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance of portable equipment that may be taken to the bin
site should also be reviewed and considered. Any electrical control equipment in contact with the bin
should be properly grounded and installed in accordance with National Electric Code provisions and other
local or national codes.
This product is intended for the use of grain storage only. Any other use is a misuse of the product.
Sidewall bundles or sheets must be stored in a safe manner. The safest method of storing sidewall
bundles is laying horizontally with the arch of the sheet upward, like a dome. Sidewall sheets stored on
edge must be secured so that they cannot fall over and cause injury. Use care when handling and moving
sidewall bundles.
Personnel operating or working around equipment should read this manual. This manual must be
delivered with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a
misuse of the equipment.

2. Safety
Proper Storage of Grain Bin/Silo Materials Prior to Construction
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as sidewall
and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any moisture. If
moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the she ets. Separate the sheets or panels
immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials should be stored
in a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be stored so
that they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any stacking an d spacing mat erials sho uld not be
corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the
bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of
moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing
moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they
do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer immediately about ways to minimize
the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

3. Safety Decals
Excessive vacuum (or pressure) may
damage roof. Use positive aeration
system. Make sure all roof vents are
open and unobstructed. Start roof
fans when supply fans are started.
Do not operate when conditions exist
that may cause roof vent icing.
DC-969
CAUTION!
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excess ive v acuum or internal
pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air”
devices should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does not
recommend the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result from
any blockage of air passages. Running fans durin g high humidity/cold weather conditions can
cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.

2. The door should normally be placed in line with the conveyor. An intermediate discharge well should
be located near the wall to clear grain from the area of the access door (as with any access door).
The door must be positioned directly above and below the vertical seam as shown in Figure 5A
on Page 16.
3. The door consists of a frame weldment, top and bottom inner panel and an outer cover assembly.
The frame weldment will bolt directly into the sidewall of the tank. The sidewall orientation must be
as shown on Page 16. Install the base stiffeners on each side of the door frame after door installation
is complete. Caulk door frame weldment in the same manner as the sidewall sheets. Install all frame
bolts and tighten. Use 3/8" x 1" bin bolts to install door. In certain cases 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts may be
used if sidewall gauges are 14 gauge or thinner.
and 3rd rings.
4. Assemble the top and bottom inner panels as shown on Pages 18 and 19. Note orientation of the
latches and hinges. Install bearing pins (WD-6224) and latch bar holders (WD-6234) in door frame
as shown on Page 20. Use a 5/16" x 2" bolts to attach the bearing pins to the door frame. Bolt head
should be on the inside of the bin. Attach the latch bar holders to the door frame with 1/2" x 2-1/4"
bolts. Use 1/2" flat washers to adjust the depth of the latch bar holde rs. A 1/2" lock washer must also
be used on this connection. Do not fully tighten bearing pins or latch bar hold ers until the inner d oor
panels have been installed and adjusted. Attach assembled top and bottom panels to door frame with
3/8" x 6" grade 2 bolt and lock nut. Adjust hinges as necessary to allow door panels to open and close
smoothly. The bearing pins should be adjusted to fit door panel holes. Adjust the latch bar holders
as necessary until the inner panel latches operate smoothly. Once the panels have been installed
and adjusted, apply a foam seal strip all along the door frame to seal inner panels.
5. Assemble the outer cover as shown on Page 21. Attach outer cover hinge weld ments to outer cover
hinges with 3/8" x 6" grade 2 bolts and 3/8" lock nuts. Be sure that the decals DC-GBC-1A and
DC-GBC-1S are on the inner side of the outer cover. Decals DC-GBC-2A, DC-GBC-2S and DC-1754
must be placed on the outer side of the outer cover. Attach the outer cover angles (NCWT0205) to
the frame weldment with 5/16" x 1-1/4" bin bolts. Use flat washer over on any slotted connections.
Adjust hinge location so that door operates smoothly. Apply foam seal strip all along outer surface
of frame weldment to seal outer cover. Fill all open holes with 3/8" x 1" bin bolts. Caulk aroun d door
