5. POSITION THE NEXT ROW OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE CHALK LINES and support
layout. The straight tab should “snap” under the first (previous) floor piece. After the supports in the
row are correctly positioned, install the next floor piece by hooking the open channel edge (E) under
the outside hooks (K) of the floor supports. Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it
snaps into the previous floor piece.
(See Figure 4C on Page 15.) Continue this process for the rest
of the floor cutting planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 7A on Page 22
for center well support locations.
NOTE: Whenever there is more than Dimension “B” divided by three inches (B/3") of plank
unsupported beside the bin wall, there should be a support on that plank or a support on each
of the planks adjacent to it such that no more than Dimension “B” divided by three inches
(B/3") is unsupported. For example: 2.66" bin with 8 rings has a “B” dimension of 22". Take
22"/3" = 7.33" (Round to 7"). Therefore, there should be no more than 7" of unsupported
floor plank.
6. Some floor planks will need to be spliced together. (See Figure 8A on Page 23, Figure 9A on
Page 24 and Plank Lengths Charts on Pages 25-26.) Install plank length A first, then install the
corresponding plank length B by butting plank B up against plank A. Make sure the planks are
supported by a grandstand on each side of the splice. Continue until floor is complete.
