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.)

4. Monorail Installation
Tie Strap Detail
1. Tie straps should be used when a tie bar cannot be used to connect rails together due to special spacing of monorail. Tie strap should be connected to all three (3) rails using self-drilling screws.
(See Figure 4D.)
2. Tie straps are to be located in the same places as a tie bar would be used.
NOTE: Some tie straps will be used to support center well and intermediate well assembly.
(See Figure 5F on Page 24 and Figure 5G on Page 25.)

4. Monorail Installation
See chart on Page 18. Spacing depends on eave height.
Assembling Legs to Rail
1. Place two (2) corners of the monorail leg into the rails as shown.
2. By twisting the leg it will spread the rail enough to get the other corners inside.
3. The leg can then be pushed down into the rail until the tabs lock it into place. (See Figure 4E.)

4. Monorail Installation
Splicing Rails
1. A leg must be centered at each rail splice.
2. The closest leg may be moved a few inches over to center it under the splice. If more than 3" of movement is required to center the leg under the splice, add an additional leg.
3. Fasten the rail to the leg with two (2) #10 self-drilling screws (splice locations o nly). (See Figure 4G.)
Figure 4G

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 41 and plank length chart on Page 42.) 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.
