Safety Guidelines
This manual contains information that is important for you, the owner/operator, to know and understand.
This information relates to protecting personal safety and preventing equipment problems. It is the
responsibility of the owner/operator to inform anyone operating or working in the area of this equipment
of these safety guidelines. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols that are defined
below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. Failure to read this manual and its
safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment and may lead to serious injury or death.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

2. Safety
General Safety Statement
Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with grain handling equipment.
This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some problems which may be
encountered by the operator and other personnel.
As owner and/or operator, you are responsible to know what requirements, hazards and precautions
exist and inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area. Safety precautions may be
required from the personnel. Avoid any alterations to the equipment, which may produce a very
dangerous situation, where SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH may occur.
You should consider the location of the bin site relative to power line locations or electrical transmission
equipment. Contact your local power company to review your installation plan or for information
concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance of portable equip ment that may be taken to the bin
site should also be reviewed and considered. Any electrical control equipment in contact with the bin
should be properly grounded and installed in accordance with National Electric Code provisions and
other local or national codes.
This product is intended for the use of grain storage only. Any other use is a misuse of the product.
This product has sharp edges, which may cause serious injury. To avoid injury, handle
sharp edges with caution and always use proper protective clothing and equipment.
Sidewall bundles or sheets must be stored in a safe manner. The safest method of storing sidewall
bundles is laying horizontally with the arch of the sheet upward, like a dome. Sidewall sheets stored on
edge must be secured so that they cannot fall over and cause injury. Use care when handling and moving
sidewall bundles.
Personnel operating or working around equipment should read this manual. This manual must be
delivered with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse
of the equipment.

Safety Sign-Off Sheet
As a requirement of O.S.H.A., it is necessary for the employer to train the employee in the safe operating
and safety procedures for this auger. This sign-off sheet is provided for your convenience and personal
record keeping. All unqualified persons are to stay out of the work area at all times. It is strongly
recommended that another qualified person who knows the shut down procedure be in the area in the
event of an emergency.

2. Safety
Proper Storage 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 sheets. 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 tacking and spacing materia ls should 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 immediately about ways to
minimize the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

3. Safety Decals
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excessive vacuum 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 during high humidity/cold weather conditions can
cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.
CAUTION!
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.

remains above this outlet.
2. Side floor outlets to be used ONLY when above
condition is satisfied.
3. Lock all side floor outlets to avoid accidental
premature use.
4. See manufacturers instructions for proper use of

Tie Bar Detail
1. Locate the tie bars between the rails. (Spaced evenly throughout the system.)
2. A single #10 self-drilling screw may be used to fasten the tie bars at each end to the rails as
necessary. (See Figure 4A.)
Figure 4A
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 4B.)

4. Monorail Installation
Splicing Rails
1. A leg must be centered at each 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 only).

Grain Systems 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. 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 4G 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.
