Intermediate Platform Mounting Angle Installation
For bins with 18-22 rings, an intermediate platform is required. Figure 6S shows the location of the
intermediate platform mounting angles. Each angle must be mounted starting 4" below the top horizontal
seam of the ring specified in the
Chart on Page 45 , with the first mounting angle directly in line with the left
hand eave mounting angle (A). The second mounting angle (A) must be located 56-1/4" to the left of the
first mounting angle (A). Pay careful attention when installing these angles. The dimensions and locations
of these angles are critical to assure proper fit of all parts. Using the platform mounting angels (A) as
guides, field drill 3/8" holes in the sidewall every 8".
(See Figure 6I on Page 51.)
