General Information

General information, overview and instructions needed before performing work.

Read this manual carefully. This manual will provide instructions on building the sidewall and stiffeners.
You will also need to consult other instructions in building the bin.

These include, but may not be limited to:

• A stiffener and sidewall gauge layout chart. If such a chart is not included with this manual, contact

GSI.

• Roof instructions must be followed. Roof instructions are included in this manual.

• Ladders, roof stairs, roof handrails and other products are covered by separate instruction manuals.

Consult the appropriate accessory manual. Inside ladder instructions are included in this manual.

• Aeration systems and transitions are to be installed according to the instructions provided with the

system or transition.

• It is critical that the anchor bolts are installed and spaced correctly.

Tools Required for Construction

General tools needed to perform this construction:

• Combination wrench set 7/16 in. to 1 in.

• Alignment punches 12 in. long

• 1/2 in. Drive socket set and ratchet

• Nail aprons or tool pouches to hold supplies

• Gloves for hand protection

• Tape measure

• 1/2 in. Drive electric or pneumatic torque gun with variable impact capabilities
