Start attaching ladder at the eave
(top) of the Bulk Feed Tank. After
the first ladder has been attached
to the sidewall of tank, attach
ladder extension rails to the ladder
as shown. Refer to previous page
for proper ladder placement in
relation to the eave of the tank.
Use hex head bolts on all safety
cage connections. Attach hoop
brackets and adjustable safety cage
brace to the top of the extension
rails. Be sure to attach the adjust­
able brace on the
left side of the
ladder. Now attach the opposite
end of the adjustable brace to the
roof ladder rail. After completing
this, drill two (2) 5/16" holes
through the adjustable brace and
use 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts to
secure the two braces together.
Add the safety cage hoops to the
brackets and attach vertical
supports to the hoops. Continue
adding ladder sections and safety
cage as sidewall rings are at­
tached. Included in your safety
cage package are two (2) Bell
hoop halves (pg 54) which should
be located at the bottom of the
safety cage. Follow all drawings
and details for proper placement of
parts and proper location of safety
cage.
