1. Introduction
Please note that the original catwalk installation instructions (included in CATM-01-5 and CATH-01-5)
were written for Farm Fans (FFI) dryers supported with buttresses. This supplement contains catwalk
installation instructions for dryers built with “stiffeners”. Please follow this supplement when installing
a catwalk on a dryer with stiffeners. You will be referred back to the original manual when necessary.
Please study the table included for specifications that are specific to your particular size of equipment.
Install the catwalk on each module prior to lifting modules into place.
