Cut hole in bin wall at desired unloading location, with center of hole located as shown in Fig. 4,
depending on size of unload tube.
6” Sweep, cut 6-1/4” U-shaped opening
8” Sweep, cut 8-1/4” U-shaped opening
10” Sweep, cut 10-1/4” U-shaped opening
If floor has not previously been installed, install half of bin floor on side opposite of unload, plus two
planks past center of bin. NOTE: Floor planks must run perpendicular to unload tube.
Position center sump so that center of top gearbox is at exact center of bin. Align center sump with bin
wall opening. With spray paint, mark pattern around sump on floor planks. Cut appropriate size hole for
sump. See Fig. 3.
Position center sump so unloading tube attachment points toward bin wall opening. Support center sump
at bottom, if necessary, using non-flammable material. Place extra floor supports around sump for
additional support.
