Fan Placement Diagram
For uniform air flow, place the fans in relation to the unloading tube as shown in Figure 4A. Floor planks
should be perpendicular to the unloading tube.

Tie Bar Detail
1. Locate the tie bars between the rails. (Spaced evenly throughout the system.)
NOTE: Tie bars are to be placed at the end of monorail, at each splice and in the middle of the rail
if it is over 16' long. (Not necessarily evenly spaced.) Rail spacing details on Pages 26-36,
detail tie bar placements in each layout.
2. A single #10 x 5/8" self-drilling screws may be used to fasten the tie bars at each end to the rails
as necessary. (See Figure 4B.)
Figure 4B Tie Bar Detail
3. Tie bars should overlap and connect each rail to the next rail. Tie bars should be located along
each side of a rail splice and around the perimeter of the bin, no more than 6" from the end of the rail.
(See Figure 4C.)

Tie Strap Detail
1. Tie straps should be used when a tie bar cannot be used to connect rails together due to special
spacing of monorail. Tie strap should be connected to all three rails using self-drilling screws.
(See Figure 4D.)
2. Tie straps are to be located in the same places as a tie bar would be used.
NOTE: Some tie straps will be used to support center well and intermediate well assembly.
(See Figure 5D on Page 22 and Figure 5E on Page 23.)

Assembling Legs to Rail
1. Place two corners of the monorail leg into the rails as shown.
2. By twisting the leg it will spread the rail enough to get the other corners inside.
3. The leg can then be pushed down into the rail until the tabs lock it into place. (See Figure 4E.)

Monorail Splice Detail
1. Insert the monorail leg (2) vertically at the joint between the ends of the monorails (1), centering the
leg (2) on the splice as shown in Figure 4F.
NOTE: Lock the monorail leg (2) securely into the monorails (1) using the locking tabs (5).
Figure 4F Installing the Monorail Leg
2. Use the four self-tapping screws (3) to secure the monorails (1) to the monorail leg (2) as shown
in Figure 4G. (NOTE: See the orientation of the monorail leg (2) in Figure 4G.)

Flashing Installation
Figure 5A
Formed Flashing Installation
If bin sweep auger is to be used, overlap flashing such that rotation (usually clockwise) of the sweep will
climb up on the next flashing section. (See Figure 5A.) This will prevent the rotating/slipping outer wheel
of the sweep from catching on the flashing edges.
After the floor is in place, lay the flashing pieces on top of the floor place over the 1-1/4" bin bolts.
See Figure 5B and Figure 5C on Page 21 to determine the correct sequence for placing the nuts and
washers. Finger tighten the nuts. While holding flashing flat, fasten the flashing to the floor with sheet
metal screws. Now tighten flashing nuts.
