BEFORE YOU INSTALL:
•
Make sure you bin and boot systems allow for enough clearance to install the Automatic
Bin Slide when fully opened. Some considerations to make when placing a bin slide:

PigTek recommends that each boot have at least 3 ft. of clearance on either the inlet
or outlet end, and at least 20 in of side
-
to
-
side clearance to allow the bin slides to work
properly. Twin automatic bin slide systems will need slightly more side
-
to
-
side clear-
ance than single slides to accommodate both motors and their enclosures.

Twin upper boot configurations may create interference between multiple bin slides
and will need to be offset from each other as in figure 3. Take note that if using twin
bin slides on a twin upper boot, you will not be able to manually operate all slides since
one or more of the shaft yokes will not be facing away from the bin and will be blocked
on the other side by another bin slide.

30 degree upper boots may cause interference with the ground if they are not elevat-
ed high enough off the ground (if they are to be mounted from the anchor bearing
end). This can be avoided by mounting them on the outlet end as long as the auger
tube does not interfere.
•
Automatic bin slides may be mounted at either the inlet end or outlet end of your boots as
long as there is enough clearance. However, make sure your transfer plates are oriented
correctly when doing so.
