E. COMMERCIAL EAVE PLATFORM:
The following is a step by step detail of how to assemble a Commercial Eave Platform Assembly for
use with your Ladder Package installed with your Chief Grain Storage System.
After the Roof and the first (2) two rings of the Sidewall Stack have been put together, begin by
determining the position that the Ladder Package will be installed by locating the roof manhole. After
you’ve located the correct placement for the ladder assembly begin by drilling (2) two 1/2” holes thru
the sidewall. The first (2) two holes should be drilled on the first and third corrugations, directly below
the sixth single punched hole left of the vertical seam nearest the left side of the roof manhole.
Attach (2) two J-Post Ladder Brackets to the bin thru the 1/2" drilled holes using 7/16” Bin Bolts and
7/16” Whiz Nuts making certain to use the sealing washer and flat washer as previously indicated and
install the Bin Bolt from the inside of the bin.
Next, drill (1) one 1/2" hole just below the fourth single punched hole left of the vertical seam nearest
the left side of the roof manhole on the second corrugation. Attach (1) one standard Ladder Bracket
(9396240) to the bin thru the 1/2" drilled hole using a 7/16” Bin Bolt and 7/16” Whiz Nut making
certain to use the sealing washer and flat washer as previously indicated and install the Bin Bolt from
the inside of the bin.
Next, remove (2) two fasteners from the First Horizontal seam. One will be located directly below the
(2) two drilled 1/2" holes and the other directly below the single drilled 1/2” hole1. Install (2) two
more Ladder Brackets (9396240) at these locations. Again, make sure to use the sealing and flat
washers and to re-insert the same fasteners that you removed but with the Bin Bolt installed from the
inside.
