FOUNDA TION REQUIREMENTS
ALL FOUNDATION SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY. BECAUSE OF THE MANY VARIABLE CONDITIONS IN AN ACTUAL INSTALLATION, GRAIN SYSTEMS, INC. ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR RESULTS ARISING FROM THE USE OF SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS.

1.SELECTING THE PROPER SITE The selected site should be level, firm, and free from underlying debris. The bin can be installed satisfactorily on slopes, but as the slope increases, additional labor and materials are required for the foundation. The concrete foundation surface must be level. If some fill is required, it should be watered and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of the bin. 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, and the placement of fans, heaters, and gas tanks.
2.SCRIBE THE DIAMETER Having determined the center of the site, drive a small 2 x 4 in the ground to mark the center point of the foundation. The top of the stake should be the same height as the finished foundation will be. Using one large spike, nail a straight 2 x 4 (approximately 2 feet longer than the radius of the bin) to the top of the center stake. This will enable it to swivel. Along the opposite end at a distance given in the foundation layout table, attach a sharply pointed stake. The swiveling 2 x 4 will act as a compass, enabling you to scribe the correct diameter of your foundation and later locate the anchor and stiffener bolt locations. (NOTE: Making the 2 x 4 two feet longer than the radius will allow the 2 x 4 to also be used as a leveling device and for pulling concrete.)

CIRCULAR FOUNDATION FORM

Figure #2
3.PREPARE THE FOUNDATION Having scribed the diameter of your foundation, proceed by digging the footing of the foundation. This consists of a large circular trench dug just inside the foundation line. (Refer to foundation details for necessary information.) Once the footing has been dug, you are ready to build the forms. It is important that your form be rigid enough to hold its shape against the poured concrete. Also, the foundation must be flat. Sloped floors cannot be used in drying bins. A carpenter’s level placed on top of your 2 x 4 will enable you to set the top of the forms to match the top of the center stake. Check the form work with a transit to ensure a uniform elevation for the entire foundation.

OCTAGONAL FOUNDATION FORM
There are two styles of foundation forms commonly used. The first is the circular form depicted in Figure #2. The second style can be made of 2" x 8" boards set into a square with corners blocked off to form an octagon. (See Figure #3 below.) This eight sided form will approximate a circle and can be constructed quite easily.
When the foundation form is completed install reinforcement rods by either welding or wiring in place. Place 2" of compacted sand on the inside level of the foundation. The sand is then covered with a 4 mil plastic moisture barrier. 6" x 6" wire mesh (2 mats), covering the entire area of the foundation, completes your preparation of the bin’s foundation. You are now ready to begin pouring concrete.
NOTE: ALL CONCRETE IS TO HAVE A MINIMUM COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF 3,000 PSI @ 28 DAYS.

ANCHOR BOLT LAYOUT
Refer to following diagram for proper bolt layout.
Having poured and leveled the concrete, use the center stake and straight 2" x 4" again to find bolt circle radius for the outside stiffener bolts. Select a starting point and stretch a pre-measured chord along the imaginary circle formed by the bolt circle radius. Consider the placement of these bolts so as not to interfere with the positions of bin doors and transitions.
Work both directions from first anchor bolt location, this will help eliminate possible error in laying out anchor bolts. On larger bins sight across starting anchor bolt and center pin and place anchor bolt on opposite side of anchor bolt radius. From this point you can work both directions from both anchor bolts.

Note: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled.
Apply rope caulking between the last vertical row of bolts and edge of
outside sheet. There is sufficient caulking for all vertical seams on
storage and drying bins. Wipe sheet clean where caulking is to be
applied.
Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check that you have the
proper gauge steel for the first ring. The higher gauge numbers denote
the thinner materials. (For example: 20 gauge material is thinner than
14 gauge.) In erecting Top Dry grain bins the thinnest material always
goes on top. The first sidewall ring you assemble will be the second
ring from the top of your bin. Check the various gauges of your bin
with the Color Code Chart and begin building accordingly.
Once you have selected the proper gauge material, begin assembling
the sidewall sheets according to the instructions on the following page.
- For bolting specifications on stiffeners, see Figure #11.

to the outside and the nut on the inside. Do not tighten bolts until all sheets are assembled and form a complete ring.
Tighten the bolts in sequence, starting from the center and work to the edge in both directions. This permits the sidewall
sheets to draw-up evenly.
After assembling the second ring, lift the top ring sheets in place, add top stiffeners, build the Top Dry floor, then the

DUMP CHUTE CHAIN ASSEMBLY
Attach all 18 dump chute chains directly to the lift plate as shown in diagram below.
Install all chains using "S" hooks (S-4692) to attach the chains to the dump chutes and lift plates. Keep excess chain
at the lift plate. Adjust the chains until the chutes are approximately level when the lift plate is in the closed (up)
position. Once the chains are uniformly adjusted, crimp the "S" hooks closed. Check when attaching the "s" hook to
the end link on a chain that the end has not been cut open. If this is found remove the end link or shift up and use the
next link in chain. The lift plate should be approximately 12" down from the cross channel when the chutes are level.

from either side of the pulley on the cross channel should be removed and the dump chutes pulled tightly shut. Check
for the uniformity of the chains on the dump chutes and readjust if needed. The downward travel of the chutes must
be limited to prevent damage on new Top Dry bins. This can be done after the bin is complete and the cable stop bracket
and clamp is set to indicate when the dump chutes are fully closed. Open the chutes until the cable clamp is about 30"
above the cable stop bracket. Attach another cable clamp just below the small outside pulley bracket making sure it

LIFTING JACKS & BRACKETS
NOTE: The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience. Factors such as bin
size, soil compaction, wind velocity, jack design, etc., are all to be considered when deciding how many to
use. If in doubt, use one jack on every other stiffener. GSI recommends heavy duty jacks rated at 6,000 lbs.
or more.

Remember to attach lifting brackets to the stiffeners. A special optional lifting bracket is available from
G.S.I.
Anchor all jacks securely and raise the bin just high enough to assemble the next ring. When lifting your bin,
raise all jacks at an equal rate. This will prevent the bowing of previously assembled rings and make for easier
hole alignment. Bolt the next ring to the inside of the second ring. Be sure to stagger the sheets and select
the proper gauge material. Lower the bin on the foundation after assembling and tightening the bolts on the
new ring. Now rebolt the lifting straps, continue ring additions until you are ready for door installation.

2.) Reinstall inner door panels at original locations. Close latch bars to lock panels in place. Be sure that panels are fully seated over all bearing pins. Install inner panel hinge assemblies per illustration instructions with hinges. Note: do not distort door frame with use of alignment
or drift punches - if necessary, drill or ream holes to insert bolts in door frame. Now tighten frame bolts starting at center and working toward top and bottom on each side
3.) Keep inner panels latched and loosen all bearing pin bolts. Retighten all bearing pin bolts. This makes loading on pins uniform for easier operation of panels.
4.) If some latch bars are loose or require excessive force to lock, loosen hex socket capscrews and adjust in or out until latch bars operate smoothly. Check that the panels are fully seated over all bearing pins.
5.) Re-install outer cover. Adjust outer door hinges and latches as required.
6.) Assemble door hold back as shown on next page. Open door cover until it approaches the bin wall. Hook retaining bracket over lower latch mount and position the door hold back against bin wall in a valley. Drill a 3/8" hole through the bin wall and bolt the door hold back to the bin.
