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 imme diately about ways to minimize
the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

Roof Damage Warning and Disclaimer

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.

CAUTION!

3. 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.

Tie Bar Detail

1. Locate the tie bars between the rails. (Spaced evenly throughout the system.)

NOTE: Tie bars are to be placed at the end of monorail, at each splice and in the middle of the rail

if it is over 16' long. (Not necessarily evenly spaced.) Rail spacing details on Pages 26-38,
detail tie bar placements in each layout.

2. A single #10 x 5/8" self-drilling screws may be used to fasten the tie bars at each end to the rails
as necessary. (See Figure 4B.)

Figure 4B Tie Bar Detail

3. Tie bars should overlap and connect each rail to the next rail. Tie bars should be located along
each side of a rail splice and around the perimeter of the bin, no more than 6" from the end of the rail.

(See Figure 4C.)

5. Flooring - Planks

Two (2) splices located at each splice location.

(See Figure 5B on Page 22.)

Floor Splice Details

Some of the floor planks will need to be spliced together. (See Figure 5F on Page 24 and plank layout

on Page 43 and plank length chart on Page 44.) Install plank length A first, then in stall the corresponding

plank length B. Continue until floor is complete. Center and install two (2) splices (PCL-7009) at each plank
splice location using self-drilling screws. Use eight (8) screws at the end of the splice for each plank,
four (4) on each side. (See Figure 5A below and Figure 5B on Page 22.)

Flashing Installation

Figure 5C

Formed Flashing Installation

If bin sweep auger is to be used, overlap flashing such that rotation (usually clockwise) of the sweep will
climb up on the next flashing section. (See detail C in Figure 5C.) This will prevent the rotating/slipping
outer wheel of the sweep from catching on the flashing edges.

After the floor is in place, lay the flashing pieces on top of the floor place over the 1-1/4" bin bolts.

See Figure 5D and Figure 5E on Page 23 to determine the correct sequence for placing the nuts and

washers. Finger tighten the nuts. While holding flashing flat, fasten the flashing to the floor with sheet
metal screws. Now tighten flashing nuts.
