3. Safety Decals

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.
Roof Damage Warning and Disclaimer
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.

4. General Detail Information

Extension Rail Installation
All ladder systems that include a safety cage must also include ladder extension rails attached to the top four foot (4') ladder section (C). Start by bolting the spacer brackets (A) through the top and bottom set o f holes in the top ladder section (C). Then, attach the extension rails (B) to the spacer brackets (A) as shown in Figure 4A. When installed correctly, the bottom of the extension rail (B) should be flush with the bottom of the top ladder section (C). Use 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts for all connections.

4. General Detail Information
Ladder Section Assembly
Two (2) splice plates (LDR-4317) (A) are required to attach each ladder section (B). The head of the bolt should be to the inside of the ladder with the splice plate (A) on the outside as shown in Figure 4B. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts for all connections.
NOTE: With most installations, the last ladder section (B) installed to reach the ground, the base or the
intermediate platform should be cut to fit.
Wind rings must be installed in relation to the ladder rungs as shown here, to ensure compliance with O.S.H.A. regulations.

NCHT Ladder, Safety Cage and Platform Instructions 4-9 Rings
All grain bin packages, from 4 ring to 9 ring and 12' to 35' diameter, contain the correct components for assembly. Read and follow the complete instructions for correct placement of parts. Be sure and use the charts to determine the appropriate number and size parts to be used based upon the number of rin gs in the bin. Failure to do so may result in an improper fit or shortage of parts. Pay particular attention to the location of ladders and platforms as they relate to the other equipment and structures in the area.
Eave Starter Bracket Installation
Correct placement of the eave ladder starter bracket is critical to assure proper fit of all ladder co mponents and to assure the correlation is correct between the platforms for proper installation of the access door platform. If the eave starter brackets are mislocated, standard installation of the access door platform will not be possible.
5. 2.66" Corrugated Commercial Hopper Tank 4-9 Rings
Location of Field Drilled Holes for Eave Ladder Starter Brackets
The starter brackets must be located directly below the roof ladder (A). Before the starter brackets can be installed, two (2) 3/8" holes must be field drilled 2.66" below and directly in line with the top row of pre-punched horizontal holes. The first hole, required for the left hand starter bracket, must be located 9-3/8" from the center of the stiffener to the center of the hole as shown in Figure 5B. The second hole, required for the right hand bracket, must be located 18-3/4" from the center of the first hole. Refer to
Figure 5B for the proper location of the two (2) 3/8" field drilled holes (B and C) required to install the
starter brackets.

Eave Starter Bracket and Ladder Assembly with Safety Cage
Once the two (2) 3/8" holes have been field drilled, attach the starter brackets (D) to the sidewa ll as shown in Figure 5C. Check the top ladder section (F) to make sure the ladder rung dimples are to the top. Attach starter brackets (D) to the top of the ladder. See Figure 4B on Page 13 for the proper installation of additional ladder sections (F) required. Standoff brackets (E) must be in stalled on the ladder sections (F) and attached to the sidewall at each horizontal seam and repeated every 32". Use 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts for all connections. It is also necessary to field drill a 3/8" hole (C) on the ladder section for each starter bracket (L.H. and R.H.) (D).

Eave Adjustable Braces
The eave adjustable braces must be attached at this time. An eave adjustable brace is comprised of one large diameter tube and two (2) smaller diameter tubes. (See Figure 5F.) Slide the smaller tubes inside the larger tubes and attach one smaller tube to the top of the ladder extension rail. Adjust the other smaller tube so the bottom of the flattened tube reaches the roof panel. Field drill four (4) 5/16" holes through both large and small tubes and bolt together using 1/4" x 1-1/2" bolts and nuts. This will prevent the adjustable braces from slipping. (See Figure 5G.)
NOTE: Refer to Page 24 for proper location of ladder starter brackets.

Eave Platform Mounting Angle Installation
Figure 5H shows the location of the platform mounting angles (B). Each angle must be mounted starting
4" below the top horizontal seam of the second ring with the first mounting angle offset 9-3/8" from the right hand starter bracket (A). The second mounting angle must be located 56-1/4" from the first mounting angle (B). The dimensions and locations of these angles are critical for proper fit of all parts. Using the platform mounting angels (B) as guides, field drill 3/8" holes in the sidewall every 8". (See Figure 5H.)
