<2> Site / Foundation BIN SITE LOCATION Check your site locations for possible problems with the following: 1 High-wind or snow-load areas 2 Waterways and run-off 3 Poor soil conditions / soil problems 4 Local codes / permits 5 Power lines 6 Highways 7 Railroads 8 Seismic load 9 Hopper bins CHOOSING A BIN SITE Consideration should be given to convenience in loading and unloading and accessibility to existing and planned facilities. The site should be level, on firm soil, with adequate drainage. Any fill used in leveling the site MUST BE well compacted to prevent uneven settling from weight of the foundation, bin and contents. After the site is completely level, use 1 to 2 [25.4 mm - 50.8 mm] of fill sand to act as a cushion under the concrete slab. Standard foundation drawings and specs are furnished by Global Industries, Inc. showing soil bearing pressures required. It is the obligation of the purchaser to obtain a soil bearing test and ascertain that the foundation has sufficient strength for a capacity filled bin. Unless the finished foundation is level and true, and the site properly graded for water drainage, failure of the foundation could result. This is not covered by the Global Industries, Inc. warranty. At the time your soil is compacted and the foundation is poured, make certain the work is being done in exact accordance with your soil engineer s specifications. Remember - if your soil isn t right, your foundation could TIP AND CRACK - if your foundation isn t right, your bin could fail. The foundation drawings on the following pages are intended as a guide only and are not to be interpreted as firm instruction. If at a later date, the bin is increased in height, the foundation may not be adequate. Anchor bolts should be to specifications and be set when pouring the foundation as improper anchoring will give you a WEAK structure. The bin is ROUND and to keep it round, the anchor bolts should follow a SCRIBED CIRCLE with the correct chord dimensions between the anchor bolts. The hopper legs must rest firmly on the foundation with absolutely no overhang. 15 GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

High spots or debris should be removed before setting the bin. 8 Recommended sizes are designed to resist 1.5 times the overturning due to a 30 PSF [1.44 kpa] wind acting on 0.6 x Area of Bin, (with maximum Leg Height). 9 Foundation details in this manual are to be considered general in nature and are intended only as a guide. It is the owner s responsibility to provide an appropriate site and foundation design for the adequate support of the grain bin.

For all these bearing type sidewall sheet connections, a snug tight condition is sufficient to ensure structural soundness, where snug tight is defined as the tightness attained by several impacts on an impact wrench, or the full effort of a worker with an ordinary spud wrench that brings the connected sheets into firm contact. A properly tightened bolt must have its seal washer fully seated in the hole and the sheets fully drawn together to produce a water tight seal. 26 GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, INC.
<4> Pre-Assembly Check Delivery Your feed/farm hopper bin has been carefully checked before shipment. However, you should check your shipment upon arrival using the provided Packing List to insure it is complete. i IMPORTANT NOTE: All galvanized steel is subject to oxidation, sometimes called white rust when exposed to moisture from any source. Plenty of care should be taken to protect sidewall sheets and roof sheets. INSIDE STORAGE IS ADVISABLE. When on the job site, place sheets on edge far enough apart so air will circulate freely. GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, INC. 27
<5> Assembly General Assembly Instructions 1 Complete the foundation. See the site / foundation section in this manual. 2 Set the sidewall sheets out near the pad in preparation for assembly. 3 Assemble the top sidewall ring. Make certain all sidewall sheets overlap in the same direction. 4 Plan where you will place your ladders. 5 Install the roof sheets and peak ring. 6 Install the ladder brackets and roof ladder. 7 Install the roof cap assembly. 8 Connect half your hopper sheets to your sidewall. 9 Install the outlet collar to the first hopper sheets installed. 10 Complete the hopper assembly. 11 Install the legs to the feed/farm hopper bin sidewall. 12 Install the hopper braces to the brace brackets on the legs. 13 Install the hopper braces between the legs and the hopper outlet collar. 14 Install the ladder standoff and ladder support. 15 Install the rest of the ladder. 16 Install the base plates to the leg bottoms. 17 Install the sign to the sidewall. 18 Raise the completed feed/farm hopper bin into position over the anchor bolts and securely anchor. 19 Install any optional equipment. 20 Make certain all connections are tight. The rest of this manual provides the necessary details and drawings to enable you to successfully complete the construction of your MFS/YORK/STORMOR Hopper Bin. Please familiarize yourself with this manual before starting construction. NOTE: Be certain to look over the roof ladder section on pages 41-45 before building the feed/farm hopper bin! It gives important information for planning feed/farm hopper bin construction and layout. WARNING! Installation of accessories or equipment in or on the Feed/Farm Hopper Bin (or grain systems equipment/structures) that it was not designed to support will overstress the structure and void all Global Industries Inc. Warranties! If you do not have specific recommendations from MFS/YORK/STORMOR, where additional loading is involved, contact the MFS/YORK/STORMOR Engineering Department before installing any such accessories or equipment.

Assembly Typical Sidewall Assembly, Build Ring 1 CAUTION: IMPORTANT! Follow the steps below throughout the entire sidewall construction! NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW SIDEWALL SEALING INSTRUCTIONS MAY ALLOW WATER PENETRATION! TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS 1 See the Sidewall Gage Build-ups starting on page 33 for sidewall sheet gage and placement! 2 You must use the correct sidewall sheet gages in each grain bin sidewall sheet ring, including in the top ring! 3 All sidewall sheets are color coded for easy construction. When installing, position sidewall sheets so the color codes are on the bottom! 1 set out sheets, build the top ring Sort the sidewall sheets by gage according to the color code and Sidewall Gage Build up tables pages 20 and 33-35. Stand the sidewall sheets on edge in order for use on the concrete near the sidewall construction location. Build the first sidewall ring. Follow the instructions on this page and the next 2 pages throughout construction. Use sealer tape on all vertical seams and horizontally for 10 [254 mm] to 12 [305 mm] from the end of all sheets (see below). a) Sealer Tape at Sidewall Seams 50 [15.2 m] roll (018008) sealer tape at all vertical seams (dashed line indicates tape on other side of sheet) SIDEWALL SHEET outside bin no sealer tape needed here 4 Always overlap the sidewall sheets in (1) direction (see example a on the next page). 5 Use (1) row of sealer tape at all vertical seams. Use sealer tape horizontally for 10-12 [254 mm - 305 mm] from the end of each sheet (example a). Wipe sheets clean before applying the tape. 6 Bolt sidewall sheets together with the bolt head and seal washer to the outside of the bin and the nut to the inside (except at the hopper leg locations as noted in the Legs to Sidewall instructions on page 47). Torque should be applied to the nut rather than the bolt head to avoid damaging the seal washer. 7 Stagger the sidewall sheets in halves as shown in example b on page 31 so the vertical sheet seams fall in the centers of the sheets in the ring above it. no sealer tape needed here Horizontal Sidewall Sheet Seams outside bin inside bin SEALER TAPE (all vertical seams and 10-12 [254 mm - 305 mm] from the end of each sheet). Additional 10-12 strips must be used to fill larger gaps on heavier gages (10 gage and heavier) and laminated sidewall sheets. UPPER SIDEWALL SHEET 5/16 HEX NUT 018913 8 At horizontal seams, sidewall sheets bolt to inside of upper sidewall sheets (example a). 9 The top sidewall ring is punched differently. It is punched for the roof and the bottom ring is punched for the legs and hoppers. 5/16 bin bolt with seal washer inside bin LOWER SIDEWALL SHEET GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, INC. 29
Assembly i IMPORTANT NOTE: When starting feed/farm hopper bin construction, pre-plan the roof / sidewall ladders locations. See pages 42-45 and the ladder instructions starting on page 63. a) Overlap Sheets in (1) Direction Only overlap SIDEWALL SHEET Use the provided 5/16 x 1 bin bolts with seal washers and 5/16 flange nuts to bolt sidewall sheets together. Wipe the sheet clean where sealer tape is used. overlap b) Different Hole Punching on the Top Sheets different hole punching on the top sidewall sheets GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, INC. 30
Assembly i IMPORTANT NOTE: Make certain the sidewall sheets are correctly positioned so the I.D. COLOR CODES are at the BOTTOM CORNERS of the sidewall sheets! i IMPORTANT NOTE: In many cases it may be preferable to initially rest the bin on its side for assembly. Determine if this will work best for your situation. We suggest using 4 x 4 [100 mm x 100 mm] pieces of wood to keep it from rolling. 2 install the next sidewall ring Install the next sidewall ring staggering sheets (example b). We suggest you install your bin ladder at the same time you build your sidewall. See pages 63-67. a) Top Outside Ladder Bracket Connection ROOF LADDER SUPPORT Top OUTSIDE LADDER HOPPER BIN LADDER HANDRAIL LADDER b) Install the Second Sidewall Ring hole punching for roof connection install ring (2) to the inside of ring (1) GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, INC. 31
Assembly 3 complete sidewall assembly Install the rest of the sidewall rings to the bin in the same way. Note the hole punching for the legs and hopper on the bottom sidewall ring (example a). 4 tip the bin into the upright position Construction methods and equipment vary. If you are assembling your bin on its side, tip the bin into the upright position (without damaging your bin) at a point during the construction which makes the most sense for your situation.
