2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
Figure 2C
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 6A on Page 14.)
Be sure the flat edge of the floor plank is facing the
bin wall and the open channel edge is facing towards the center of the bin.
(See Figure 2C.)
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 21-26
or stated in the charts on
on Pages 27-28
. Attach the
flashing to flooring and bin wall to hold plank in place. (
See Page 12
for flashing installation.)
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 under
the outside hooks of the floor supports. Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it
snaps into the previous floor piece. (See Figure 2C.) Continue this process for the rest of the floor
cutting planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 5A on Page 13 for center
well support locations.
NOTE: Whenever there is more than Dimension B divided by three inches (B/3") of plank unsupported
beside the bin wall, there should be a support on that plank or a support on each 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.
IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start at
the proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to
floor layout on Page 14. First piece may need to be
trimmed for length to fit at the proper location.
