1. Determining the layout of the bin stairs. (See Figure 2A.)
2. Locate the platform directly under the roof ladder and manway hole. The location of the platform and manhole must be pre-determined so that the stairs will not interfere with auger, doors, fans, etc. To determine the stair locations, count the number of bolt spaces around the bin according to the
Chart below. This will give the ending location of the stairs. Each step is 8" tall and wraps around the
bin one bolt spacing or 9-3/8". NOTE: One bolt spacing is the distance between the bolts on the horizontal seams, which is equal to 9-3/8". On a 2.66" (32" sheet) corrugated bin, the first ring will
contain the platform at 16" below the eave and two (2) steps. There are four (4) steps for each ring thereafter and the four (4) stairs wrap around the bin four (4) bolt spaces or 37-1/2" per ring. Use the
Chart below to determine how many bolt spaces you must allow for the steps during installation.

3. The attachment location of the platform wall bracket to the first horizontal seam is shown in
Figure 2C. Attach the platform wall bracket to the first horizontal seam using the middle hole as
shown in Figure 2C. This will locate the platform 16" below the eave. The platform wall brackets are placed six (6) bolt spaces apart or 56-1/4". Loosely attach the platform wall brackets to the first seam using 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts and flange nuts.
Figure 2C
4. Field drill two (2) holes per platform bracket as shown and use 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts and flange nuts at the top connection points. The bottom connection points will also be used for the platform knee brace during platform installation.
5. The first ring will have two (2) stairs attached below the platform. Therefore, the first stair wall bracket is placed two (2) bolt spaces around the bin on the second ring as shown in Figure 2C. Loosely attach using two (2) 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts and flange nuts. Fie ld d rill the mid dle a ttachment point as shown in Figure 2C and fasten using a 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolt with a flange nut.
6. Each additional stair wall bracket (LDR-4082) will be placed 32" below the previous and four (4) standard bolt spaces or 37-1/2" from the previous. There will be a total of four (4) steps for each additional ring.
2. Installation
Assembling the Platform
1. Figure 2D shows the assembly of the platform supports. Use 5/16" hardware at all the connection points. Note the center floor brace (LS-6701) is offset from the center of the platform. (The bin wall is hidden for clarity.)
Figure 2D
2. Figure 2E shows the assembly of the platform floor, toe plate and vertical angles. This must all be assembled at the same time using 5/16" hardware. Note the color codes, placement and orientation of the platform vertical angles.

Assembling the Stairs
1. Figure 2G and Figure 2H shows the assembly of the HD stairs. There are two (2) types of stairs used on 2.66" corrugated bins. The top two (2) stairs are special shorter stairs, color coded and shown in Figure 2H. The ends of both types of steps are bolted under and behind the step using 5/16" hardware. Bolt heads should be installed on the front side of the steps.

2. Figure 2I shows the assembly of the stair bracing. As shown before in Figure 2C on Page 8, the first vertical wall bracket will be located two (2) bolt spaces or 18-3/4" around the bin. 3/8" Hardware is used at the four (4) connection points as shown. The outer two (2) mounting holes on the side and the outer middle hole on the top of the horizontal wall bracket will be used to attach the step as shown in Figure 2J.

Use special two (2) steps from STR1073 package (Color code: Red) (See Figure 2H on Page 11.)
Bin diameters up to 60'
3. Figure 2K shows the assembly of the top two (2) steps. These steps are different than all the rest of the steps and are color coded accordingly. Use 5/16" hardware at the connection points and refer to
Figure 2L below and Figure 2M, Figure 2N and Figure 2O on Page 14 for hole and slot usage for the
size bin. These illustrations will show how to align the holes on the attachment tabs wit h the slots of the next step. Attach the tie straps on the inside and outside of the steps as shown.

4. Figure 2P shows the addition of the first four (4) step stair section. The third step attaches to the wall bracket as shown in Figure 2J on Page 12. Use the holes and slots to connect the stairs as shown in the Figure 2L, Figure 2M, Figure 2N and Figure 2O on Pages 13-14. Continue attaching tie straps on the inside and outside of the steps.

5. Continue adding four (4) step sections until you have reached the bottom of the bin. Each of the next wall brackets will be placed 32" lower and four (4) bolt spaces or 37-1/2" around the bin farther than the previous bracket.
6. The last step will need to be supported by a wall bracket assembly. It may be necessary to field cut and drill the vertical wall bracket for fit-up. The bottom section’s upper handrail will also have to be field fit with an extra drilled hole for attachment to the bottom handrail post.
2. Installation
Adding the Handrails
1. Figure 2S shows the addition of the handrail posts. Use two (2) 3/8" x 1" flange bolts and nuts to attach the handrail post to the horizontal wall bracket. (See Figure 2T on Page 18.) Make sure the post is plumb before tightening the bolts.

2. Begin installation with the upper handrail. The handrail for the first two (2) steps should be loosely bolted to the first post and checked to ensure it is the right length. Excess length of the narrow end of the handrail may need to be cut off and a new hole drilled for connection to the top platform handrail. Use 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts at the connections. Continue down the stairs installing handrail sections to the handrail posts. Extra force maybe needed to curve the handrail on smaller diameters. Refer to Figure 2U and Figure 2V below for connections.

3. After installing the top handrails, the intermediate handrails can be put into place. They will use the top hole in the middle of the handrail post with 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts and nut. (See Figure 2S on
Page 17.) The large tube should be placed on the upper handrail post and the small tube should
be slid into it and placed on the lower handrail post. The very top intermediate handrail connecting the platform to the first post may need to be shortened. Equal amounts should be cut from both of the handrails.

2. Installation
Assembling Intermediate Platform (Optional Package #STR1143)
1. The intermediate platform wall brackets and bordering stair section wall brackets should be arranged as shown in Figure 2X. The first platform bracket should be placed three (3) bolt spaces around the bin and 32" below the previous stair wall bracket. The next platform bracket should be placed six (6 ) bolt spaces around the bin at the same height as the previous platform bracket. The next stair wall bracket is placed four (4) bolt spaces around the bin and 32" below the second platform wall bracket. In each instance, the wall brackets should be attached to the bin with three (3) bolts. One hole will have to be drilled in the bin sidewall at the third bolt’s location.
Figure 2X
2. Figure 2Y shows the assembly of the platform supports. Use 5/16" hardware at all the connection points. Note the center floor brace (LS-6701) is offset from the center of the platform. (The bin wall is hidden for clarity.)

3. Figure 2Z shows the assembly of the platform floor, toe plate and vertical angles. This must all be assembled at the same time using 5/16" hardware. Note the orientation of the vertical angles.

4. Figure 2AA shows the assembly of the platform handrails. These must also be attached using 5/16" hardware.

2. Installation
5. Figure 2AB shows the addition of the steps. Three (3) steps will be located above the rest platform and four (4) are located below the rest platform. The first step above the platform will need to be securely attached to the handrail and toe plate. A field drilled 3/8" hole will need to be placed in the handrail in line with the slot in the step. Self-tapping screws will need to be placed in the top of the step for connection to the toe plate.
Figure 2AB
6. Next, the handrail posts can be attached as shown in Pages 17-19 of the manual. NOTE: The handrail for the stair section above the rest platform will need to be cut to length. A hole will have to be drilled in the handrail to attach to the handrail post. It can be attached in the same way as previous discussed in the manual.
