Installation

For installation in concrete trench:
Ensure trench meets dimensions shown in Fig. 7 and Table 9. Trench will need to be formed when
foundation is poured. Because of moving slide gates and pull rods, concrete CANNOT be poured over
sweep tube. After tube installation, cover trench with Channel-Lok flooring or other suitable material.
Position center sump as shown in Fig. 7 so top of gearbox is at exact center.
For installation in either application:
A concrete pad, 4’ 6” x 4’ measured from bin foundation, is required for unload systems using vertical
boot drive. Pad should be poured below level of concrete floor of bin, as shown in Fig. 8. Use Plenum
Height table to determine pad offset (B) from bin floor. NOTICE: In northern locations, frost can lift pad,
causing damage to unload system. Loosen threaded support legs in winter and re-tighten in spring.
