BFT Bin Lid Assembly
Additional Tools and Materials Needed:
•Clamp
• Assorted Wrench Set
• Ratchet and Socket Set
• Ground Control Chain (If you do not already have one)
Instructions
1. Disassemble existing lid. Start by detaching the current cotter pins located in the ground control chain
on latch side of the bin lid. Retain the end of the chain for easy access when re-attaching the chain
to the new bin lid lever arm. (See Figure 2 on Page 2.) Ensure there is a functional roof eave bracket
in place to use with the new lid.
Carefully loosen and remove the back bracing bolts of the old lid. Be sure to have firm grasp on the
nuts on the inside of the bin to prevent them from falling down into the bin. Be aware that the lid
is spring loaded and can close rapidly. Next with the lid closed, loosen existing bolt on the front
mounting bracket of the old lid. Dispose of the old lid.
NOTE: If there was no previous chain, roof eave bracket or chain holder bracket, a chain will need
to be purchased and the brackets included will need to be attached to the side of the bin,
vertically aligned with the lever arm. (See Figure 1.)

2. With the lid closed, align the hole in the lever arm with the hole in the bin lid. Insert 1/2" bolt through
the hole and fasten with the nylock nut using 3/4" wrench and ratchet. NOTE: DO NOT over tighten.
This is a pivot bolt and the lever arm must be able to pivot freely.

3. Place the new lid assembly over the existing peak ring collar and rotate lid assembly such that the
lever arm and spring hinge line up with the roof eave bracket. (See Figure 1 on Page 1.) Use a clamp
to pull the mounting brackets together. Slide the 3/8" carriage bolt supplied through the mounting
bracket and loosely fasten with nut. (See Figure 6.) Remove clamp and then tighten the bolt with
9/16" ratchet, ensuring that the vertical flange tightens past the left edge of the top, horizontal flange.
(See Figure 7 on Page 4.)

4. Thread the existing chain through the hole on the end of the lever arm and fasten it to the provided
key ring. (See Figure 5 on Page 3.) Ensure that the ground control chain is freely looped through the
roof eave bracket and chain holder. After removing the slack in the chain while the lid is fully closed
and in latched position, re-position the key ring 2" below the roof eave bracket. (See Figure 8.)
Re-adjust the existing handle and key ring so the handle is positioned for easy access from
ground. (See Figure 9.) Check to make sure that the key rings allow the cap to fully close, but will
not allow the chain enough slack on top of the cap to become wrapped around the lever arm in a
high wind condition.
5. Install the decal DC-2123 to the inside of peak ring on the hinge side of the lid as shown in Figure 4
