8 Read and follow these directions carefully before an attempt is made at installation. The GSI Group is not responsible for damage or accidents caused by improper installation or installation procedures. Our stairs are designed to support the weight of one (1) person, and the weight that they can carry. NOTE: The sidewall bin stair assembly can be installed ascending or descending, clockwise or counterclockwise, when looking at a top down view of the bin. Also, they can be installed while the bin is being assembled/erected, or after the bin is installed. The following assembly instructions will show a descending clockwise installation after the bin has been installed. NOTE: Care needs to be taken to ensure that nothing will obstruct the construction path of the stairs, such as doors, conduit, heaters, fans, unloading equipment, etc. NOTE: All platforms are 39'' long, and extend 26'' from the bin wall. Platform Wall Brackets, Stair Wall Brackets and Knee Braces Determining and Marking Layout Figure 2A 1. The attachment locations of the platform wall brackets to the first horizontal seam bolt row are determined by the sheet size of the bin, and the distance below the eave, the platform will be installed. 2. For 32'' and 44'' bin sheet size, the platform can be installed at a distance of 5-1/2'', 16'', or 26-1/2'' below the eave. 8 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

9 3. Consult Figure 2B on Page 10 through Figure 2G on Page 15 for the layout of the attachment points, and where you will have to field drill. 4. Line up the correct hole in the platform wall bracket with the first horizontal seam bolt row. The correct hole is indicated in the detail view of the corresponding layout figure. Knee braces should be installed at the same time as the platform wall brackets. 5. Mark the location of the holes to be field drilled for the platform wall brackets, stair wall brackets and knee braces, as shown by the corresponding layout figure. NOTE: All stair wall brackets should line up with a hole in the horizontal seam bolt rows, except for a platform being installed 26-1/2'' below the eave on a 44'' bin sheet. Using the center hole on the stair wall bracket, place it approximately two (2) bolts over and one (1) hole down from the platform wall bracket attachment point to the first horizontal seam bolt row. Drilling and Installation 1. Using the marked holes from the previous Steps, field drill the mounting locations as indicated in the corresponding layout figure. Use an 11/32'' steel drill bit to make the holes. 2. Mount the platform wall brackets, stair wall brackets, and the knee braces with the provided 5/16'' x 1-1/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts. The highest two (2) knee braces need to be the 42-1/2'' knee braces, instead of 34-3/4'' knee braces that may be part of the package. 3. At the bottom of the bin, the final wall bracket and knee brace will be installed with the final stair section. 4. One (1) bolt spacing is the distance between the bolts on the horizontal seams, which is equal to 9-3/8". 5. For 32" bin sheets: Each stair wall bracket after the first bracket will be located three (3) bolt spaces over (28-1/2") and one (1) horizontal seam down. 6. For 44" bin sheets: Each stair wall bracket after the first bracket (second bracket for 26-1/2" below eave) will be located four (4) bolt spaces over (28-1/2") and one (1) horizontal seam down.

Loosely attach the outside stair siderail to the 9'' x 20'' steps using two (2) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts for each step. The heads of the bin bolts should be on the outside of the outside stair siderail and not to the inside of the step. Figure 2U NOTE: 4 Step sections have slots for the top and bottom step attachment to the outside stair rail. The step should be fitted in the slot to a position that allows the rail to curve around the bin. PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 23

24 4. Loosely bolt the handrail baluster to the outside stair siderail using one (1) 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolt and serrated flange nut. The bin bolt and serrated flange nut should be preliminarily installed to the inside end of the rear slot for bins greater than 30' in diameter, and to the hole outside of the slots for bins less than or equal to 30' in diameter. Figure 2V Figure 2W 5. The loosely assembled stair section is now ready to be installed on the bin. After the stairs are put into place and adjusted appropriately, the bin bolts and serrated flange nuts can be tightened. 24 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

Loosely attach the handrail baluster to the knee brace using two (2) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts. The head of the one (1) bin bolt should be on the handrail baluster and the head of the other bin bolt should be on the knee brace. 3. Attach handrail baluster to the outside stair siderail using a 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolt and serrated flange nut. Figure 2AE Final Adjustments of First Stair Section 1. Adjust the steps to fit the curve of the bin. Use a level to ensure the steps are level in all directions. 2. Tighten all bin bolts and serrated flange nuts that assemble the stair section. 3. Tighten the bin bolts and serrated flange nuts that attach the stair section to the platform, wall brackets, and knee braces. PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 29

30 Attachment of Consecutive Stair Sections NOTE: Depending on the size of the bin, and the bent edges of the stair siderails, the inside stair siderails can overlap the next inside stair siderail in both directions. (Figure 2AG and Figure 2AH on Page 31.) The outside stair siderails have the same possibilities. It is important to assemble the stair sections consistently, therefore keep the overlap the same for each consecutive section. Figure 2AF 30 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

31 Figure 2AG Figure 2AH PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 31

32 Attaching the Inside Siderail Bring the next assembled stair section to the previously installed stair section. 1. Place the outside surface of the inside stair siderail to the inside of the already installed inside stair siderail. 2. Using Figure 2AI and Figure 2AJ, loosely bolt the two (2) inside stair siderails together with two (2) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts, and the inside stair siderail to the wall bracket with one (1) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolt and serrated flange nut. Note the four (4) total attachment points on the figures. Figure 2AI Figure 2AJ 32 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

33 Attaching the Outside Siderail 2. Installation 1. Place the inside surface of the outside stair siderail to the outside surface of the already installed outside stair siderail. 2. Using Figure 2AK and Figure 2AM, loosely bolt the two (2) outside stair siderails together with two (2) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts, and the outside stair siderail to the handrail baluster with one (1) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolt and serrated flange nut. Note the four (4) total attachment points on the figures. Figure 2AK 3. Figure 2AL shows a detail of the overlapping outside rails of a 4 step section. The figure is to be used for 42'-60' diameter bins. The chart associated with the figure gives an approximate relation between the two (2) outside rails. This chart is a guideline only. Overlap distances may vary in order to keep the stairs level. Use a level to ensure the stairs are level in all directions. Figure 2AL PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 33

34 Figure 2AM 4. Figure 2AN shows a detail of the overlapping outside rails of a 4 step section. The figure is to be used for 21' to 36' diameter bins. The chart associated with the figure gives an approximate relation between the two (2) outside rails. This chart is a guideline only. Overlap distances may vary in order to keep the stairs level. Use a level to ensure the stairs are level in all directions. Inside Stair Siderail Figure 2AN Refer to instruction on Page 28 Inside stair siderail attachment to wall bracket for subsequent stair section. Refer to instructions on Page 30 Attachment of consecutive stair sections for subsequent stair sections. 34 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

35 Installation of Bottom Brace and Bracket Bottom Brace Bracket 1. For the last stair section, attach the wall bracket to the bin wall, using the bottom hole in the wall bracket, with one (1) 5/16'' x 1-1/4'' bin bolt and serrated flange nut. 2. The bottom brace bracket installs to the outside stair siderail and the handrail baluster on one end, and the wall bracket and inside stair siderail on the other end. 3. Attach the inside stair siderail to the wall bracket and the bottom brace bracket using two (2) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts. Figure 2AO PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 35

36 4. Attach the bottom brace bracket to the outside stair siderail and the handrail baluster using two (2) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolts and serrated flange nuts. Figure 2AP Field cut the handrail baluster below the bottom brace bracket so that it does not interfere with the bin pad or ground. Figure 2AQ 36 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

37 Lower Support of the Stairs 2. Installation 1. In some cases the foundation is not as wide as the outside of the stair section. In this case, the outside of the stair section needs to be supported to keep the stairs level. This should be done by field fabrication of an angle back to the concrete foundation or supporting the outside rail with blocks or a concrete pad. Use a level to check the stairs in all directions and shim the outside rail when necessary. Bottom Knee Brace 1. Attach the final knee brace to the bottom brace bracket using one (1) 5/16'' x 3/4'' bin bolt and serrated flange nut. For clarity, the outside stair siderail is hidden. Figure 2AR 2. Bring the knee brace close to the bin wall, and mark the hole where it attaches. Field drill the hole with an 11/32'' steel bit, and bolt the knee brace to the bin wall using one (1) 5/16'' x 1-1/4'' bin bolt and serrated flange nut. Figure 2AS PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 37

38 Handrail Installation After all the stair sections have been assembled and installed, the upper and lower handrails can be installed. The handrails can be installed top down, or bottom up. The handrails have a smaller diameter at their upper ends, and have a pre-drilled hole at the lower end to aid installation. NOTE: The lengths of handrails that are provided correspond to the differing stair section lengths. Assemble the correct handrails to the appropriate stair sections. Lower Handrail Installation Figure 2AT 1. Using the appropriate length of handrail, use one (1) 1/4'' x 1'' self drilling screw to attach the lower end of the handrail to the inside surface of the lowest handrail baluster. The head of the screw should be on the outside surface of the handrail baluster. Figure 2AU 38 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

39 NOTE: The handrails are not shipped pre-curved. As the lower and upper handrails are installed, they must be curved/bent to match the curve of the bin, and in order to attach to the handrail balusters at the appropriate attachment points. 2. With the next appropriate length handrail, overlap the to-be-installed handrail to the previously installed handrail. The two (2) handrails should overlap by at least 2''. Figure 2AV 3. Where the installed handrail(s) meet up with the next higher handrail baluster, use one (1) 1/4'' x 1'' self drilling screw to attach the handrail to the inside surface of the handrail baluster. The head of the screw should be on the outside surface of the handrail baluster. Figure 2AW 4. Repeat Previous Steps until the handrail reaches the 51-1/2'' right platform post. PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 39

40 5. Where the assembled lower handrail meets the 51-1/2'' right platform post, use one (1) 1/4'' x 1'' self drilling screw to attach it to the outside surface of the post. The head of the screw should be on the inside surface of the 51-1/2'' right platform post. Upper Handrail Installation Figure 2AX 1. Using the matching length of handrail to the installed lower handrail, use one (1) 1/4'' x 1'' self drilling screw to attach the lower end of the handrail to the outside surface of the lowest handrail baluster. The head of the screw should be on the inside surface of the handrail baluster. Figure 2AY 40 PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly

41 NOTE: In the same way that the lower handrails had to be curved/bent to match the curve of the bin, the upper handrails have to be adjusted to match. 2. With the next appropriate length handrail, overlap the to-be-installed handrail to the previously installed handrail. The two (2) handrails should overlap by at least 2''. 3. Where the installed handrail(s) meet up with the next higher handrail baluster, use one (1) 1/4'' x 1'' self drilling screw to attach the handrail to the outside surface of the handrail baluster. The head of the screw should be on the inside surface of the handrail baluster. Figure 2AZ 4. Repeat Previous Steps until the handrail reaches the 51-1/2'' right platform post. 5. Where the assembled lower handrail meets the 51-1/2'' right platform post, use one (1) 1/4'' x 1'' self drilling screw to attach it to the outside surface of the post. The head of the screw should be on the inside surface of the 51-1/2'' right platform post. Figure 2BA PNEG-1112 Sidewall Bin Stair Assembly 41
