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.
