BAFFLE LOCATION - 23 & 24 TIERS
When installing baffles, the flanges on the baffles will
sometimes lay across the horizontal wall sheet seams and
come up against the protruding bolt shanks. By tightening
the baffles there will be localized interference which
pushes the wall sheet outwards at this location. When this
occurs, reverse the bolt to avoid interference.
INSTALLATION NOTES
1. For stiffened bins, 48' diameter and smaller, install
2 baffle angles (195476) per baffle as illustrated.
2. Some bins with side discharge systems must have
extra wind rings installed. Consult bin installation
manual for location and quantity of wind rings.
3. Center all sidedraw components horizontally
between uprights.
