1. Safety
Safety Guidelines for Bins
Safety guidelines must be followed at all times. This manual is written to help you understand safe
operating procedures and problems that can be encountered by the operator and other personnel when
using this equipment. Save these safety guidelines for future reference.
As owner or operator, you are responsible for understanding the requirements, hazards, and precautions
that exist and to inform others as required. Unqualified persons must stay out of the work area at all times.
Alterations must not be made to the equipment. Alterations can produce dangerous situations resulting in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
This equipment must be installed in accordance with the current installation codes and applicable
regulations, which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction must be
consulted before installations are made.
When necessary, you must consider the installation location relative to electrical, fuel and water utilities.
Personnel operating or working around equipment must read this manual. This manual must be delivered
with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of
the equipment.
This product is intended for the use of grain storage only. Any other use is a misuse of the product.
Sidewall bundles or sheets must be stored in a safe manner. The safest method of storing sidewall
bundles is by laying them horizontally with the arch of the sheet upward, like a dome. Sidewall sheets
stored on edge must be secured so that they cannot fall over and cause injury. Use care when handling
and moving sidewall bundles.

3. Important Note
Guidelines for Proper Storage of Grain Bin Materials Prior to
Construction
Storage of the build materials prior to construction is important. Do not to allow moisture to remain
between sheets or panels.
Wetstoragestain(rust)willdevelopwhenclosely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as sidewall
and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any moisture. If
moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the sheets. Separate the sheets or panels
immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials should be stored
in a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be stored so
that they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any stacking and spacing materials should not be
corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the
bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of
moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing
moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they
do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer immediately about ways to minimize
the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

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.

14 PNEG-222 48' Diameter Bin Cor-Lok and Cut-Lok Flooring
Grain Systems Recommended Method for 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 in Figure 4B.
• 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 rows 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 feet. For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given on Page 38 and
Page 39 for 20 gauge.
1. Layout centerlines of tank. Make sure one centerline is in line with the direction of the flooring planks
while the other centerline is perpendicular with the flooring planks. (See Figure 4B.)
2. From the centerline that is perpendicular to the flooring planks, measure the distance of “C”
Dimension and mark a chalk line. (See Figure 4B.)
3. From the line chalked in the previous step, 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) with “B”
Dimension distance between each line. (See Figure 4B.)

IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start at the proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to floor
layoutonPage24.Firstpiecemayneedtobetrimmedforlengthtofitattheproperlocation.
(See Figure 4C.)
Figure 4C
4. Install flooring starting at the bin wall on the opposite side of the unload auger. Floor planks should be
placed perpendicular to the unload auger with the outside edge the correct distance from the center
of the bin.
(See Figure 9A on Page 24.) Be sure the flat edge of the floor plank is facing the bin wall
and the open channel edge (E) is facing towards the center of the bin.
(See Figure 4C.) Position the
supports for the first/shortest floor plank according to the number of bin rings and corrugation as
shown in the illustrations
on Pages 27-37 or stated in the charts on Pages 38-39 . Attach the flashing
to flooring and bin wall to hold plank in place. (
See Page 21 for flashing installation.)

flashing will need to be removed and repositioned
when installing the rest of the flashing.

4. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
16 PNEG-222 48' Diameter Bin Cor-Lok and Cut-Lok Flooring
5. POSITION THE NEXT ROW OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE CHALK LINES and support
layout. The straight tab should “snap” under the first (previous) floor piece. After the supports in the
row are correctly positioned, install the next floor piece by hooking the open channel edge (E) under
the outside hooks (K) of the floor supports. Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it
snaps into the previous floor piece. (See Figure 4C on Page 15.) Continue this process for the rest
of the floor cutting planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 7A on Page 22
for center well support locations.
NOTE: Whenever there is more than Dimension “B” divided by three inches (B/3") of plank
unsupportedbesidethebinwall,thereshouldbeasupportonthatplankorasupportoneach
of the planks 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.
6. Some floor planks will need to be spliced together. (See Figure 8A on Page 23, Figure 9A on
Page 24 and Plank Lengths Charts on Pages 25-26.) Install plank length A first, then install the
corresponding plank length B by butting plank B up against plank A. Make sure the planks are
supported by a grandstand on each side of the splice. Continue until floor is complete.

Undersplice Specifications
The undersplice should be installed underneath the planks at the split after both plank lengths have been
butted together. Each splice has to be installed as each row of planks are installed. Figure 4E shows the
layout of the undersplice plates (A) and the screw pattern used to secure them.

1. Place plank ends together.
2. Place the undersplice under the planks. Make sure the undersplice extends 3" across each plank.
The splice should extend 3" under each plank. The splice should be screwed in place as shown in
Figure 4E on Page 17.
3. Repeat for all plank locations requiring a splice.
NOTE: Small grain perforated floors include an oversplice that is installed at the same time as
the undersplices.
