Thank you for turning to Sukup Manufacturing Co.
for your grain drying needs. In 1962, a young,
innovative farmer named Eugene Sukup bought his
first grain bin to dry and store shelled corn.
However, he soon encountered problems with the
process, such as crusting and hard spots. In
response, Eugene developed and patented an idea
for an automatic stirring machine—the idea from
which Sukup Manufacturing Co. was born.
Sukup stirring machines have come a long way
since they revolutionized in-bin drying, but they
remain the simplest, most dependable stirring
machines on the market. Additionally, the Fastir
stirring machine’s adaptable design and variety of
extras make it ideal for both large and small drying
operations.
Fastir stirring machines eliminate overdried grain,
increase airflow, and preserve grain quality.
Overdried grain resulting from typical heating
processes has been a constant problem
accompanying grain drying in bins, meaning lower
quality grain, wasted fuel, and wasted time.
Sukup’s goal has been to eliminate this problem by bringing the advantages of stirring to both low- and high-
temperature in-bin drying systems. As the machine mixes and loosens bottom layers of grain that are easily
overdried, grain may be heated to higher temperatures to achieve faster drying rates without any of the typical
effects of overdrying.
The Sukup Fastir provides a low-cost solution for on-farm drying of grain. If additional stirring capacity is desired
after installation, additional down augers may be economically added to machines at any time. In short, our
stirring machine is an excellent tool for adding greater flexibility to any bin drying or storage system, whether high
or low temperature.
We hope that you return to Sukup for all of your grain storage, drying, and handling needs. Along with the simply
dependable Fastir, Sukup is the leader in unloading equipment and fans and heaters. Sukup grain bins and
dryers have also taken the market by storm. From heaters to grain bins and everything in between, our family-
owned company is dedicated to providing customers with the best quality products and the best value for their
money.
This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, and service of Sukup Fastir and Fastir Plus
units. Fastir and Fastir Plus units are largely the same except the Fastir Plus model has a stationary outside
carriage. This manual is written for both models, so carefully read and follow all instructions.
This document also contains an illustrated parts assembly manual (attached, page 53), which is broken down into
groups for each section of the unit and details all serviceable parts. Parts shown in exploded views of assemblies
are reference numbered and correspond to numbers in Ref # column of parts list following each illustration. Total
number of parts required per unit or assembly is shown opposite each part number.
When ordering parts, always give part number (in Comp # column) and part description shown alongside
reference number. Do not order parts by reference numbers. If part number cannot be found in manual, give clear
description of part and its location and function. Also, specify your machine type and size.

I. General Safety Practices
On safety decals, this symbol and the
signal words Danger, Warning, Caution
and Notice draw your attention to
important instructions regarding safety.
They indicate potential hazards and levels of intensity.
RED - DANGER indicates an
imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
ORANGE - WARNING
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
YELLOW - CAUTION
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result
in minor or moderate injury.
BLUE - NOTICE alerts you to
practices unrelated to personal
injury, such as messages related to property damage.
IMPORTANT: To prevent death or serious injury to
you or your family, it is essential that safety decals
are clearly visible, in good condition, and applied to
the appropriate equipment.
FOLLOW MACHINE SAFETY DECAL MESSAGES
Carefully read this manual and
all safety decals on your
equipment. Safety decals must
be kept in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged
safety decals free of charge by
contacting Sukup Manufacturing
Co. by mail at PO Box 677, Sheffield, Iowa 50475; by
phone at 641-892-4222; or by e-mail at
[email protected].
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to know
what specific requirements, precautions, and work
hazards exist. It is also the responsibility of the
owner/operator to inform anyone operating or
working in the area of this equipment of hazards and
safety precautions that need to be taken to avoid
personal injury or death. Always keep children away
from bins and vehicles with flowing grain.
Make no unauthorized modifications to machine.
Modifications may endanger function and/or safety of
unit. Keep unit in good working condition. Keep shields
in place. Replace worn or missing shields free of
charge by contacting Sukup Manufacturing Co.
GRAIN BIN SAFETY
Owners/operators are responsible for developing
site-specific confined space entry procedures.
OSHA’s confined space entry procedures (29CFR
1910.146) can be found at www.osha.gov.
If you must enter bin for repair or maintenance:
 Use a safety harness, safety line and respirator
 Station another person outside of bin
 Avoid the center of the bin
 Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
 Keep clear of all augers and moving parts
DANGER! Never enter bin unless all power is
locked off and another person is present.
Rotating augers can dismember or kill!
Flowing grain may trap and suffocate. If you enter a
bin of flowing grain you can be completely
submerged in grain in about 8 seconds.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
NEVER clean out bin with augers running!
When bin is nearly empty, sweep (floor) augers will
travel at an increasing speed; just turning around can
give augers enough time to trap you. Keep away from
sweep and sump augers to avoid entanglement.
Failure to heed this warning could result in death or
serious injury.
Read manual before installing or using product. Failure to follow instructions and safety precautions in
manual can result in death or serious injury. Keep manual in a safe location for future reference.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
I. Installing Track
For part numbers and descriptions of parts
referenced in this section, see parts assembly
manual, page 53.
Track is most easily installed while first ring of bin is
being assembled on the ground. Track of correct
size must be installed as a unit in bin. Track brackets
and curvature vary according to bin diameter.
The process for installing track on some Sukup bin
sheets differs slightly from that used with bin sheets
produced by other companies. Section A describes
the process used with Sukup track-punched bin
sheets. Section B describes the process used with
Sukup bin sheets not punched for track and for non-
Sukup bin sheets.
With bin sheets produced by other companies, the
existing holes in top bin sheets may be used for
mounting track in many cases (Section B). However,
in some cases, no holes will match and all holes
must be drilled in bin sheet to mount track. Section
C describes this process.
Figure 3 - Head-On View of Track Bracket Placement
A. Installing Track on Sukup Bin Sheets
Punched for Track
A1 For Sukup bins smaller than 30’, insert 5/16” x 1-
1/4” bolts in top hole of every other pair of bolt
holes for track around top of bin (approximately
18” spacing). For Sukup bins 30’ and larger,
place bolts in top hole of every pair of bolt holes
(approximately 9” spacing) except those at bin
wall seam. Figure 3, Figure 4.
A2 Mount 1 length of track with bolts through top
holes on track brackets. Figure 3, Figure 4.
A2.1 Note: On bins 30’ and larger with a double-
bracketed track, a gap has been left to
prevent interference between seam bolts
and track brackets. Install first section of
track with seam in place of missing bracket.
Figure 3.
A3 Insert 5/16” x 1” bolts through bottom holes on
track brackets.
A4 Place 5/16” nuts onto bolts through track
bracket. Do not tighten at this time. Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Side View of Track Mounted on Sukup Bin
Sheet Punched for Track
A5 Mount remaining track sections using steps A2-
A4, joining track sections together with 3/8” x 1”
bolt and 3/8” lockwasher and nut. Tighten using
9/16” wrench. Figure 5.
A5.1 Note: Ensure these bolts are pointing to
outside (toward bin sidewall) to avoid
obstructing machine movement.
Figure 5 - Top View of Track Splice
A6 Tighten 5/16” nuts on bolts through track bracket
using 1/2” wrench.
A7 Ensure entire length of track and bin wall is free
of any obstructions that could hinder movement
of machine through bin.
B. Installing Track on Sukup Bin Sheets Not
Punched for Track and on Bin Sheets from
Other Companies
B1 For bins smaller than 30’, insert 5/16” x 1-1/4”
bolts in single ring of bolt holes around top of bin
(approximately 18” spacing). For bins 30’ and
larger, place bolts in every bolt hole
(approximately 9” spacing) except those at bin
wall seam. Figure 3.
B2 Tighten 5/16” spacer nuts onto these bolts.
Figure 6.
B3 Mount first segment of track over bolts and screw
on a second 5/16” nut. Figure 3, Figure 6.

Assembly & Installation
11
B3.1 Note: On bins 30’ and larger with a
double-bracketed track, a gap has been
left to prevent interference between
vertical seam on sidewall sheets and track
brackets. Install first section of track with
bin wall seam in place of missing bracket.
Figure 3.
Figure 6 - Side View of Track Mounted on Sukup Bin
Sheets Not Punched for Track and Sheets from Other
Companies
B4 Mount remaining track sections using steps B2-
B3, joining track sections together with 3/8” x 1”
bolt and 3/8” lockwasher and nut. Tighten using
9/16” wrench. Figure 5.
B4.1 Note: Ensure these bolts are pointing to
outside (toward bin sidewall) to avoid
obstructing machine movement.
B5 After all track sections are in place, drill second,
lower bolt holes through bin sheets using track
brackets as pattern. Figure 6.
B5.1 Note: Drill through middle bracket holes
only when dealing with 4.0” cor. sidewall
sheet.
B5.2 Note: Drill through bottom bracket holes
only when dealing with 2.66” cor. sidewall
sheet.
B6 Insert 5/16” bolt no longer than 1” into newly
drilled holes. If needed, insert a longer bolt
pointed to outside to avoid obstructing machine
movement and screw on 5/16” nuts. Tighten
using 1/2” wrench.
B6.1 Note: Leave unused track bracket holes
empty. Figure 6.
B7 Tighten 5/16” nuts on top bolts through track
brackets using 1/2” wrench.
B8 Ensure entire length of track and bin wall is free
of any obstructions that could hinder movement
of machine through bin.
C. Installing Track When Holes for Track
Brackets Must Be Drilled
C1 Place first segment of track in bin.
C2 Drill holes in top bin sheet to match holes on
each bracket:
C2.1 When drilling 4.0” Cor. sidewall sheets,
use top and bottom track bracket holes as
guide as shown in Figure 4.
C2.2 When drilling 2.66” Cor. sidewall sheet,
use bracket holes as guide to drill through
corrugation hills on sheet.
C3 Insert 5/16” x 1-1/4” bolt through top bolt holes.
Figure 6.
C4 Mount first segment of track over bolts and
screw on 5/16” nuts. Figure 6.
C5 Insert 5/16” x 1” bolts in lower holes of track
bracket and add 5/16” nuts. Tighten using 1/2”
wrench. Figure 6.
C5.1 Note: Leave unused track bracket holes
empty. Figure 6.
C6 Mount remaining track sections using steps C2-
C5, joining track sections together with 3/8” x 1”
bolts and 3/8” lockwashers and nuts. Tighten
using 9/16” wrench. Figure 5.
C6.1 Note: Ensure these bolts are pointing to
outside (toward bin sidewall) to avoid
obstructing machine movement.
C6.2 Note: Because of the large variation in
diameter from bin to bin, it may be
necessary to use a splice to join the last
section of track. These splice sections are
available at no charge by contacting
Sukup Manufacturing Co. by mail at Box
677, Sheffield, Iowa 50475; by phone at
641-892-4222; or by e-mail at
[email protected].
C6.3 If splice is required, bolt splice sections in
place and tighten.
C7 Ensure entire length of track and bin wall is free
of any obstructions that could hinder movement
of machine through bin.

II. Assembling & Installing Carriages
For part numbers and descriptions of parts
referenced in this section, see parts assembly
manual, page 53.
1 Carry crosstube and hardware into bin.
2 Place outside crosstube end with drive wheel
next to bin sidewall and inside end with shaft in
center of bin.
For Fastir Plus units, begin here and continue
following instructions:
3 Bolt stationary carriage plate onto drive wheel
end of crosstube with hub pointing outward
using 3/8” x 1-3/4” bolts and 3/8” washers and
nuts. Figure 7, Figure 13.
Figure 7 - Placement of Stationary Outside Carriage on
Fastir Plus Unit
4 Slide stationary outside carriage onto crosstube
beside plate with reversing mechanism tab
pointing toward drive wheel. Figure 7, Figure 13.
For multiple-carriage regular Fastir units, begin
here and continue following instructions:
5 Slide satellite carriage(s) onto crosstube from
inside, shaft end with reversing mechanism tab
pointing toward drive wheel, as shown in Figure 7.
For single-carriage Fastir units, begin here:
6 Slide primary carriage about 1 foot onto
crosstube from inside, shaft end. Knurled
bearing should be on top and slot for down
auger on front of crosstube as shown in Figure
7, Figure 8.
7 Ensure 1/16” gaps (approximately the thickness
of a credit card) exist between crosstube and
bearing blocks. Figure 8.
Note: If necessary, adjustments may be made
using 3/4” wrench on bottom carriage
bolts. Do not overtighten carriages.
Figure 8 - Side View of Primary and Satellite Carriages
8 Ensure correct spacing between carriages exists
by comparing hole-to-hole length on installed tie
bar with tie bar specifications in drawings and
tables on pages 15-18.
Figure 9 - Back and Top View of Fastir Tie Bar Installation
9 Bolt tie bar(s) between carriages on sides
without down auger slots as shown. Use 5/16” x
1” bolts pointing out and 5/16” lockwashers and
nuts and tighten using 1/2” wrench. Figure 9,
Figure 12, Figure 13.
9.1 Note: Single-carriage units do not require tie
bars.
9A On all Fastir sizes, install additional tie bar on
back inside of carriage near top as shown.
Figure 10. (For 4 ½” crosstube, use lower holes
shown in drawing inset. 5 ½” crosstube has only
one set of holes.) Figure 10.

III. Installing Stabilizer Arm Kit
(Stabilizer arm kit is standard with Fastir units ordered after 2007.)
Figure 14 - Stabilizer Arm Assembly on Quad Unit
10 Installation of stabilizer arm requires that
brackets be attached to all carriages (primary,
satellite, and, if present, stationary outside
carriages). All three types of carriages use the
same brackets, which are supplied by Sukup
Manufacturing Co.
11 Bolt center support to center hanger using 2 3/8”
holes in center hanger. Ensure bottom of center
support is flush with bottom of center hanger
assembly. Word “TOP” is etched on center
support (A4530) to aid in positioning.
12 Attach stabilizer arm brackets to primary and
satellite carriages on opposite sides of auger.
13 Adjust U-bolts on stabilizer tube so they are
loose enough to allow primary and satellite
carriages to slide freely.
14 Assemble trolley assembly as described on
page 20 and shown in Figure 15.
