area clean and dry.
• Never service equipment while it is operating. Keep hands,
feet, and clothing away from moving parts.
• Keep your equipment in proper working condition. Replace
worn or broken parts immediately.
ST-0003–1
Prevent Roof Damage Due to Vacuum Pressure
• Roof damage can result from excessive vacuum or internal
pressure from fans or other air moving systems. The manu-
facturer does not warrant this type of roof damage.
• Adequate ventilation or “makeup air” devices must be pro-
vided for all powered air handling systems.
• The manufacturer does not recommend the use of down-
ward flow systems (suction).
• Severe roof damage can result from any blockage of air
passages.
• Operating fans during high humidity or cold weather condi-
tions can cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.

Fan Placement Diagram
1. For uniform air flow, place the fans (1 and 2) in relation to the unloading tube (3) as shown below.
2. Floor planks (4) should be perpendicular to the unloading tube (3).

Chapter 2: Floor Installation
Full Floor Installation
Using the GSI recommended method for full floor installation should save construction time and eliminate
the problem of improper installation which could invalidate your warranty. Note the following dimensions
as shown below.
• Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.
• Dimension “B” is the amount of stagger between supports under adjacent planks and is half of
dimension “A”.
• Dimension “C” is the distance from the center of the unload auger to the nearest row of supports and
is half of dimension “B”.
Dimensions “A”, “B” and “C” are shown on the appropriate grandstand layout for wall heights under 32'.
For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given in the grandstand layout
on 2.66" Corrugation chart, page 44 and 4.00" Corrugation chart, page 45.
1. Layout centerlines of tank. Make sure one centerline (5) is in line with the direction of the flooring
planks (4) while the other centerline (5) is perpendicular with the flooring planks (4).
2. From the centerline that is perpendicular to the flooring planks, measure the distance of “C”
dimension and mark a chalk line (6).
3. From the line chalked (6), measure over the distance of “B” dimension and chalk another line.
Repeat this procedure across the bin until reaching the wall in both directions. When completed,
there should be a set of parallel lines (perpendicular to the floor planks (4)) with “B” dimension
distance between each line.

Chapter 2: Floor Installation
Figure 2-3 Floor plank assembly
IMPORTANT: The first piece of flooring must start at the proper distance from the centerline of the bin. Refer
to the Figure 7-1, page 29 for floor layout. The first piece may need to be trimmed for length
to fit at the proper location.

8Flat edge 12 Straight tab
9 Sidewall 33 Ends of floor plank
4. Install the flooring starting at the sidewall (9) on the opposite side of the unload auger (3).
5. Floor planks (4) should be placed perpendicular to the unload auger (3) with the outside edge the
correct distance from the center of the bin. Refer to the Figure 7-1, page 29.
6. Make sure that the flat edge (8) of the floor plank (4) is facing the sidewall (9) and the open channel
edge (7) is facing towards the center of the bin.
7. Position the supports for the first/shortest floor plank (4) according to the number of bin rings and
corrugation as shown in the grandstand layout charts and illustrations. (Refer to 2.66" Corrugation
chart, page 44 and 4.00" Corrugation chart, page 45.)

Chapter 2: Floor Installation
8. Attach the flashing to flooring and sidewall (9) to hold floor plank (4) in place. Refer to the Chapter 4,
page 23 for flashing installation.
9. Attach two flashings to the both ends (33) of first floor plank here, just to hold it in place.
NOTE: These two flashings will need to be removed and repositioned when installing the rest of the
flashing.
10.POSITION THE NEXT ROW OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE CHALK LINES (6) and
support layout. The straight tab (12) should “snap” under the first (previous) floor piece.
11.After the supports in the row are correctly positioned, install the next floor piece by hooking the
open channel edge (7) under the outside hooks (11) of the floor supports.
12.Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it snaps into the previous floor piece.
Continue this process for the rest of the floor cutting planks for the center and intermediate wells as
needed.
13.Refer to the Chapter 5, page 25 for center well support locations.
NOTE:
• Whenever there is more than dimension “B” divided by three inches (B/3") of plank (4)
unsupported beside the sidewall (9), there should be a support on that plank (4) or a
support on each of the planks (4) adjacent to it such that no more than dimension “B”
divided by three inches (B/3") is unsupported.
• For example: 2.66" bin with 8 rings has a “B” dimension of 22". Take 22"/3" = 7.33"
(Round to 7"). Therefore, there should be no more than 7" of unsupported floor
plank (4).
14.Some floor planks (4) will need to be spliced together. Refer to the Figure 6-1, page 27,Figure 7-1,
page 29 and Plank Lengths for more information.
15.Install plank length “A” first, then install the corresponding plank length “B” by butting plank “B” up
against plank “A”.
16.Make sure that the planks are supported by a grandstand on each side of the splice. Continue this
until the floor is complete.

Undersplice Specifications
1. The undersplice should be installed underneath the planks at the split after both plank lengths have
been butted together.
2. Each splice has to be installed as each row of planks are installed. Below figure shows the layout of
the undersplice plates (29) and the screw pattern used to secure them.

Chapter 2: Floor Installation
Installing the Undersplice
1. Place floor plank (4) ends together.
2. Place the undersplice (29) under the floor planks (4). Make sure the undersplice (29) extends 3"
across each floor plank (4).
3. The undersplice (29) should extend 3" under each floor plank (4). The undersplice (29) should be
screwed in place as shown in Figure 2-4, page 16.
4. Repeat for all the plank locations requiring a splice.
NOTE: Small grain perforated floors include an oversplice that is installed at the same time as the
undersplices.

Planks
1. Place plank ends together.
2. Place the undersplice (29) under the planks. Make sure the undersplice (29) extends 3" across each
plank.
3. Install the undersplice (29) to the planks using two self-drilling screws (30) per splice to hold it in
place.
4. Place the oversplice (25) over the length of the plank splice seams.
5. Install the oversplice (25) to the planks and undersplices (29) using three self-drilling screws (30)
per each undersplice.
