7. Attach the discharge back shield to the drive assembly using two (2) 3/8" x 1-1/2" grade 8 hex bolts,
four (4) flat washers and two (2) nylock nuts. The discharge back shield does not have the full
continuous high back shield. It is cut away at the discharge to allow more grain flow around the drive
assembly. This cut back end gets attached to the drive assembly.
(See Figure 4G.)

NOTE: Bin sweeps containing more than two (2) sections of flight and back shield can have multiple
configurations. These configurations determine where the flight and back shield joints exist in
relation to the center of the bin.
Consider all configurations for the bin diameter before continuing. On bin sweeps with
three (3) or more sections of flight and back shield, a carrier wheel assembly is used every
two (2) sections.
Choose the configuration for the bin diameter to ensure that the(se) carrier wheel assembly(s)
do not interfere with the existing well positions.
Damage to the bin sweep and unload well or well grate could result from an incorrect
configuration of flight and back shield sections.
