CLEARANCE SETUP FOR BINS 21’ IN
DIAMETER AND SMALLER
Small bins with low roofs may require lower-
than-standard track installation to provide ad-
equate clearance for the grain spreader. Refer
to Figure 5. Use the formula described it Steps
1 and 2 to determine whether there is enough
room above the Stir-Rite hanger channel for the
grain spreader.
Step 1. If “A” plus 25” is greater than “B,” lower
the track by the difference between A+25 and
B.
Step 2. If “A” plus 25 inches is equal to or less
than “B,” use the standard installation method.
Note: If track brackets are lowered, drill the bin
wall from the inside the bin for 5/16” bin bolts.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Preliminary Assembly
Figure 5. Overview of the Stir-Rite stirring machine

13
TRACK INSTALLATION
Install hanger brackets as specied here.
• One-auger or two-auger machines require 18-
7/8” maximum center-to-center spacing.
• Three-auger and four-auger machines require
14 1/8” maximum center-to-center spacing.
• Behlen bins require 16½” center-to-center
spacing for all units.
Note: Brackets may have to be staggered to al-
low for track splicing locations.
If necessary, drill the top lip of the bin wall
as shown in Figure 6. Most bins will be pre-
punched. If drilling is required, however, drill
for 5/16” diameter bolts on the centers speci-
ed above. Note that units installed with two or
more augers measuring 18’ 2” or greater will
require two bolts per bracket. The bin wall will
need to be drilled—but the bracket will NOT
need to be drilled.
Install Hanger Brackets with the 5/16” x 1¼” bin
bolts, head toward the outside. Use two 5/16”
nuts as spacers for the corrugation thickness.
Attach Brackets using 5/16” lock washers and
nuts.
Install Track Clips using 3/8” x 1¼” bolts, lock
washers, and nuts. (Do not tighten bolts at this
time.)
After all the Hanger Brackets and Clips are
installed, start installing the track sections. Note
that the holes in the track must be oriented
toward the bottom. Connect the track ends with
the splice plate. See Figure 7. When connecting
the nal track section, cut the track and drill for
3/8” diameter bolts.

NOTE:
• Make sure the track is smooth and not bent in
any way after installation.
• If necessary, cut off the top portion of the lad-
der to allow for clearance of the Rail Beam.
• After the track is completely installed, tighten
all the clip bolts. Keep the clips properly
aligned.
RAIL BEAM ASSEMBLY
Bring the beam into the bin and set it up on
wood or concrete blocks. See Figure 8. Make
sure 9/16” diameter holes are oriented upward
and are next to the bin wall under the man
hatch. Make sure the other end is positioned
under the center hatch.
Slide the trolley(s) onto the beam. Keep all
motor mounts on the right side (as viewed from
the bin center). The main trolley (also the larg-
est trolley) is mounted closest the bin wall. See
Figure 9.
IMPORTANT: Trolleys must move freely along
the beam.

TROLLEY LOCATIONS
IMPORTANT: Trolley Locations are
Critical! Read and Understand.
The design of your new Spacer Angle makes it
more universal in that one angle ts all applica-
tions for a bin of a specic diameter. The uni-
versal design makes it easy to add more auxil-
iary trolleys or a xed auger trolley by relocating
the trolleys. When you’re installing the spacer
angle be careful to locate the right set of holes.
If you mount the trolleys in the wrong location
your grain won’t mix properly—or your trolley
could crash.
When determining the trolley spacing of Stir-
Rite systems with a xed trolley, the xed trol-
ley does count (along with the mobile trollies)
in the discription of the system. For example: a
“3-Trolley Fixed” system has two mobile trolleys
and one xed trolley.
Determine the spacing needed for your Stir-Rite
system. Then connect the trolley with the appro-
priate prepunched spacer angle. Use existing
3/8” bolts to mount the angle. See Figure 10.
Use caution when mounting trolleys. Always
start by mounting the spacer angle to Main Trol-
ley. See the Trolley Spacing graphs in Figures
11, 12, and 13.

ASSEMBLE THE DOUBLE SPROCKET
The outer location “A” allows the auger to come
within 7½” of the bin wall. The inner location “B”
allows the auger to come within 10½” of the bin
wall. The lag of the auger can bring the bottom
end of the auger 2” to 4” closer to the bin wall.
ASSEMBLING THE DRIVE CLUSTER
Attach the Drive Cluster to the beam end with
four ½” x 1¼” bolts, lock washers, and nuts as
shown in Figure 15. Place the power cord from
the gear motor along the right side of the beam
(as viewed from bin center) and into the clips.
Tighten the cord and bend the clips against the
cord so the trolley rollers do not interfere with
the cord.
Use the RC40 roller chain to connect the
small sprocket on the drive cluster to the large
sprocket on the double sprocket assembly. If
the double sprocket assembly is mounted close
to the drive cluster, you’ll have to remove the
short section of chain.
NOTE: The chain has two master links. Use the
slots in the double sprocket frame to adjust the
chain.
ATTACHING THE TAKE-UP
ASSEMBLY
Attach the chain’s Take-up Assembly to the pre-
punched 7/16” diameter holes on the left side of
the beam (as viewed from the bin center). Find
the four sets of holes on the left of the beam.
The holes closest to the bin center are for a
one-auger machine. The second set of holes is
for a two-auger machine, and so forth. Attach
the assembly using 3/8” x 1¼” bolts, lock wash-
ers, and nuts as shown in Figure 16.
