PREPARATION / UNLOAD INSTALLATION
Unload tube can either be placed in a bin with a steel aeration floor as shown in Fig. 3 or a concrete
trench as shown in Fig. 7. Instructions are provided for both types of floor. In either case, the first step is
to determine from which side of bin grain will be unloaded.
Unloading tube must have unobstructed path to center sump, and center of top gearbox must be in exact
center of bin as shown in Figs. 3 and 7. Locate center of bin by taking several measurements.
For installation in full aeration floor:
NOTE: If installing in existing bin with a full aeration floor, it may be necessary to remove about half of
floor.
Before installation, check floor height.
Minimum plenum height required for installation of sweep is:
6" sweep -------- 12"
8" and 10" - 13-1/4"
Maximum floor thickness is:
6" and 8" ----- 2-3/4"
