2. SAFETY
Prevent Wet Storage Stain
Properly Store Grain Bin/Silo Materials Prior to Construction to Prevent Wet Storage
Strain:
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material such
as sidewall and roof sheets have moisture present from any source. Roof and sidewall bundles
should be inspected on arrival for the presence of moisture. If moisture is present, moisture must
not be permitted to remain between the sheets. In the case of moisture presence, sheets or
panels should be separated immediately, wiped down, dried and sprayed with a light oil or diesel
fuel.
Where possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed materials should be
stored in a dry, climate controlled building. Storage inside a dry building should be done if at all
possible. Where outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be raised out of contact
from the ground or vegetation. Stacking and spacing materials should not be corrosive or wet.
Materials must be protected from the weather. Weather protection that permits more air
movement around the bundles is best.
The storage method of the roof bundles and sidewall sheets may also help minimize moisture
presence. Roof bundles should be stored inclined. The bundles should be stored and secured
in a safe & stable manner. Turning the bundles over and storing with the center of the dome “up”
like a arch is an option. Sidewall bundles may be stored on edge, however these bundles
should be secured in such as way as they cannot fall over and cause injury.
Should “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occur, contact the manufacturer immediately
concerning methods to minimize the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

Bulk Feed Tank Assembly Manual General Instructions
This product is intended for the use of storing feed only. Any other use is a misuse of the product!
While every effort has been made to keep the edges from being sharp, please wear the proper
protective clothing while erecting the bulk feed tank.
Our company recommends that you contact your local power company and have a
representative review your installation so your wiring will be compatible with their system and so
that you will have adequate power supplied to your unit.
A bulk feed tank weighs a minimum of 444 lbs (201 kg). All precautions should be taken when
raising the tank to its feet. Follow the instructions given later in this manual.
The safety pages show you where you can find the safety decals. The photographs show exactly
where the decals should be. If a decal has been damaged or is missing contact our company for
a free replacement.
First, read the Assembly Manual completely before starting to assemble your Bulk Feed Tank.
Check your shipment with the packing list to be sure there are no shortages.
1. Decal protective mask must be removed when assembling tank. Mask may become difficult
to remove if left exposed to sunlight.
2. Vertical seams must be staggered on all sidewall rings.
3. When legs extend up two rings, the leg holes must be in alignment in the bottom two rings.
4. All hopper seams and the hopper collar use truss head bolts. The heads of the bolts must
be on the inside of the tank.
5. All bolts are to be tightened from the nut side only. Do not allow bolt heads to spin.
6. Hex head bin bolts are used on all sidewall and roof seams with the bolt heads on the
outside of the bin.
7. Hex head bolts are to be used on all leg to sidewall connections with the bolt heads on the
inside of the tank.
8. 7' diameter sidewall sheets must be bolted together so there is 65-5/8'' between leg holes.
(Refer to Page 66).
9. Drift punches can be used to align holes.
10. All vertical sidewall sheet seams must be overlapped in the same direction.
11. A hole spacing of 3-1/8'' is used at the top of all top sidewall sheets and at the bottom of
all bottom sidewall sheets.
PNEG-256 6', 7' & 9' Bulk Feed Tanks 13
4. GENERAL INFORMATION
Selecting the Proper Site
The selected site should be level, firm and free from underlying debris. The tank can be installed
satisfactorily on slopes, but as the slope increases, additional labor and materials are required
for the foundation. The concrete foundation surfaces must be level. If some fill is required, it
should be watered and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of the tank.
Good water drainage should be provided to prevent water collecting under or around the tank.
Naturally, the site must allow convenient access for easy loading and unloading, plus provide
additional space for future units. Also, consider the positioning of handling equipment, availability
of electricity, etc.
Tools
Tools recommended for assembly of Bulk Feed Tanks.
1. Assorted sizes of combination wrenches
2. Hammer
3. 3-12'' long drift punches
4. 1 Large Flathead Screwdriver
5. 1 Pair of slip joint pliers
6. 2 Adjustable wrenches
7. Ratchet and sockets
8. Impact wrenches and sockets (if available).

How to Use Chart on this Page
The chart labeled “Sidewall Sheet Gauge Chart” is for your reference when building the tank.
This chart tells you what gauges your rings of your specific tank must have. To read the chart
you look up the tank size you are building (a 7 foot diameter tank with 4 rings is referred to as
BFT 7'-4 Ring). The side labeled “Gauge” will indicate which sidewall sheets to use. The sheets
are color coded, all that needs to be done is to match the gauge number with the color
(use “Sheet Gauge Color Chart”).
Note: Sidewall sheets are color coded on edges for gauge identification.

Caulking
Figure 6A Caulking Detail
Note: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled. Wipe sheet clean
where it is to be applied. Apply caulking on each side of the holes on the vertical
seams and also on each side of the horizontal row of holes.

6. SIDEWALL ASSEMBLY
Sidewall Sheet Orientation
Important: Please note the sheet orientation when assembling the bin sidewall. The
upper right corner will have a slot or identifying sticker. This corner should be
on the inside of the tank when assembled.
Figure 6C Viewed from inside
Sheet orientation will effect how the sheets lap together.
Sidewall Assembly
Start by assembling the top ring of the Bulk Feed Tank. The top row of bolt holes has 3-1/8"
spacing in the top ring. Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check that you have the
proper gauge steel for the top ring. The higher gauge number denotes thinner material.
(Example, 20 gauge material is thinner than 14 gauge.) In assembling all bulk feed tanks the
thinnest material always go on top. The heaviest corrugated sidewall sheet will be located on the
bottom of the tank. Check the various gauges of your tank with the “Sheet Gauge Color Code
Chart” & “Sidewall Sheet Gauge Chart”, Page 21 and Page 21.) Begin by putting the rings
together on the edge of the sheets. On 7'-1 ring tanks ensure vertical leg seams are spaced
equally around tank. (Refer to Page 66.) After the first ring is complete the roof needs to be
assembled. The pages that follow give the proper instructions for this. After the roof is assembled
the tank can be rolled on its side for easier sidewall assembly. (See Figure 6D)
All bolts are to be tightened from the nut side only!
Continue to add rings with lighter gauges first, then heavier gauges. The next row of sidewall
sheets go to the inside of the previous row of sidewall panels. Do not forget to place the caulking
between every ring.
Be sure to stagger all vertical seams between rows.

Important: BOLTING PATTERN BEGINS IN THE CENTER OF THE SHEET! When starting
to assemble the sidewall rings to one another, be sure to start in the center of
the sheet and work to the outside edges (horizontal seams). This allows the
sidewall to draw up evenly.

6. SIDEWALL ASSEMBLY
Sidewall Assembly
Figure 6F
It is easier to put on more sidewall sheets with the tank on its side. It can be rolled easily from
side-to-side to allow the bolts and nuts to be put in the proper holes. (The roof is, however,
assembled on the first ring before rolling it over to its side.)

7. ROOF
Sealed Roof Panels Installation
Note that the roof and sidewall ladders are centered on a roof seam. Take notice when placing
roof panel, that the outside edge is bent down. This edge is to be placed on the outside of other
roof panel to form a tight seal. Be sure to apply two strips of caulking on all seams. Assemble
roof panels in a counter clockwise manner.

Refer to the Control Arm Detail and Cap Latch Detail on for component part assembly. The cap
latch hook, located opposite the cap hinge, latches over the BLK-11846 Hold Down Bracket
(Item 20, Cap Latch Detail on Page 19). One end of the ground control chain is secured at the
counterweight arm with a cotter pin (See Figure 7P). The chain is passed up and over the cap,
through the grommet on the pivot arm, and through the Roof Eave Bracket (BLK-11950), then
continues down the side of the tank.
After removing the slack from the ground control chain while in the fully closed and latched

Hopper Sheets
When starting to attach hopper sheets to sidewall it is recommend that the first hopper sheet
seam be positioned halfway between leg positions. Lap the hopper sheets as shown. Use two
(2) strips of caulking on all seams at sidewall to hopper and hopper sheet to hopper sheet. Be
sure to place the head of the truss bolt on the inside of hopper. Leave one hopper sheet out to
allow room to install hopper collar. Be sure to use two (2) strips of caulking between hopper collar
and hopper sheets, then put last hopper sheet in place.
CAUTION
All 9' diameter 60° 3-6 ring and 7' diameter 67° 5 & 6 ring tanks require hopper
reinforcement angles. Angle covers entire seam (including hopper collar).
Note: When used for 22" (559 mm)
hopper openings, field cut brace
below slot to fit properly.

Start attaching ladder at the eave (top) of the Bulk Feed Tank. After the first ladder section has
been attached to the sidewall of tank, attach ladder extension rails to the ladder as shown. Refer
to Page 52 for proper ladder placement in relation to the eave of the tank. Use 5/16" bin bolts
and nuts on all safety cage connections. Attach hoop brackets and adjustable safety cage
braces to the top of the extension rails. Now attach the opposite end of the adjustable brace to
the roof ladder rail. After completing this, drill two (2) 5/16" holes through the adjustable brace
and use 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts to secure the two braces together.
Add the safety cage hoops to the brackets and attach vertical supports to the hoops. Continue
adding ladder sections and safety cage as sidewall rings are attached. Included in your safety
cage package are two (2) Bell hoop halves which should be located at the bottom of the safety
cage. Follow all drawings and details for proper placement of parts and proper location of safety
cage.

Raising Bin to set on Foundation
Preparing Bin
Just before standing the bin upright, peel protective mask off the decal while it is easy to reach.
Mask may become difficult to remove if left exposed to sunlight.
Check for all possible overhead obstructions, power line, etc., BEFORE standing the bin
on the foundation.
To prevent damage to Legs when raising bin, brace them with 2" x 4 " (50 mm x 100 mm) pieces
of wood as shown in the illustration. See the chart for the correct length.
WARNING
Do not raise tank near power lines. Electrocution could occur if the tank came into contact
with live power lines.

Be sure that all bolts are tightened properly. Bulk feed tank can now be set up on foundation.
Small bulk feed tanks may be set up with manpower. As the tanks get taller and heavier, other
means must be used to raise the bulk feed tank. A small crane of adequate capacity attached to
a cable or sling secured around the bulk feed tank just above the legs will usually do the job.
Refer any questions to a qualified rigger.

Anchoring Tank
Check all legs to see if shims are necessary to level the tank properly. After bulk feed tank is
level and shimmed properly, anchor the tank down with 5/8" washers and nuts (See Figure 11B).
Standard Hopper Bin Anchoring
Measure between opposite Legs to be sure they are an equal distance apart before securing the
Bin with Anchor Bolts. Follow the chart shown below. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
bin.

Roof Panel
Identical pre-punched roof panels are available from Manufacturer for inlet and outlet sections
of Pneumatic fill systems. Extruded lip of the panels provide for weather tight installation.
Caulking placed between angle rings virtually eliminates all leakage problems. Rubber seal must
be utilized at roof cap area to prevent material “Blow By” from pressurized systems.
To install fill kits in roof panels not pre-punched, cut 5 5/8" (143 mm) diameter holes in opposing
roof panels as shown. Caulk sufficiently to provide weather tight seal.
Refer to “Peak Ring Seal Strip” installation procedure when installing pneumatic fill kits.
Abnormal pressure may require us of optional “Cap Hold Down Package” (BLK-10474).
Note: Inlet and exhaust parts from roof eave upward supplied with kit.
