Installing the Eave Platform
The following procedure is for the installation of the eave platform located above the eave. The two 3–
panel platforms are installed separately onto the sidewall and spliced together using the platform splice.
1. To install the first platform section, align the bottom end of the stringer attachment plates (12) in the
platform (AG) to the top end of the 5–step stair section (AB) using flange bolts (2) and flange nuts
(3).
2. After aligning the stringer attachment plates, align and install the two wall attachment brackets (10)
in the platform (AG) to the holes on the horizontal seam in the sidewall using standard bin bolts (B)
and flange nuts (C).
NOTE:
• The bolts must be installed with the bolt head on the inside of the bin.
• Tighten the flange bolts (2) between the sidewall attachment gussets (10) and wall
attachment brackets (14) before tightening the bolts connecting the sidewall attach-
ment gussets (10) and the intermediate support angles (14) underneath the platform to
aid in leveling the platform assembly.
• Align the first and last hole of the wall attachment bracket (14) with the top (D) and
bottom (E) holes in the horizontal seam of the first ring.
