Cement is gravity fed from silo to batcher, then, batcher to truck. The Thoroughbred plant is pre-wired in conduit and the pneumatic lines are pre-plumbed. The main disconnect and plant power panel are enclosed in a steel cabinet with hinged, lockable steel doors, positioned to face away from the transfer conveyor for cleaner, safer operation. The plant air compressor is located on the plant’s tongue above the 5th wheel, away from the transfer conveyor for a cleaner and safer operation. Manual Layout Refer to the manual, images and content to assist with proper setup and installation of the Thoroughbred and DC-Colt plants. Throughout the manual, safety notices provide help for a successful and safe installation of the plant. Typical safety notices are defined below: NOTICE Highlights information that is of special importance. CAUTION Draws attention to anything that could damage the equipment or adversely affect the installation of the unit. WARNING Draws special attention to anything that could cause injury or death. Safety & Warning Placards The unit and optional attachments are clearly marked with safety and warning signs, placards, as a reminder to observe safe installation and operating procedures. Read the instructions and become familiar with the safety and warning placards. Failure to observe safety and warning placard instructions can result in serious injury to workers or damage to property. Always replace worn or missing safety and warning placards. See the Placard Location Diagram for sign location on page 2, and contact Stephens Manufacturing to order replacement placards. REV: A 12-19-12 4 STEPHENS MFG. PO. BOX 488 STEPHENS MFG. PO.

Smaller bolts or joints, as designated may be installed to a snug-tight condition. CAUTION Use the “Turn-of-Nut” method for tightening all structural connections that require 5/8 inch diameter or larger bolts. See detailed explanation of the “Turn-of-Nut” method when tightening structural connections. NOTICE Stephens Engineers only recommend minimum size anchor bolts. Turn-of-Nut Pre-tensioning Method All bolts shall first be installed to a snug-tight condition. Subsequently, the nut or head rotation specified in Table 1 shall be applied to all fastener assemblies in the joint, progressing systematically from the most rigid part of the joint in a manner that will minimize relaxation of previously pre-tensioned bolts. The part not turned by the wrench shall be prevented from rotating during this operation. CAUTION Use the “Snug Tight” method for tightening all smaller bolts or joints as designated. Additionally, this method is used for anchoring the plant to the concrete foundation. See detailed explanation of the “Snug Tight” method when tightening these various connections. Snug-Tightened Joints All bolt holes shall be aligned to permit insertion of the bolts without undue damage to the threads. Bolts shall be placed in all holes with nuts threaded to complete the assembly. Compacting the joint to the snugtight condition shall progress systematically from the most rigid part of the joint. The snug-tightened condition is the tightness that is attained with a few impacts of an impact wrench or the full effort of an ironworker using an ordinary spur wrench to bring the connected piles into firm contact. More than one cycle through the bolt pattern may be required to achieve the snug-tightened joint. Disposition of Outer Face of Bolted Parts Bolt Lengthc Both faces normal to bolt axis One face normal to bolt axis, other sloped not more than 1:20d Both faces sloped not more than 1:20 from normal to bolt axisd Not more than 4db 1/3 turn 1/2 turn 2/3 turn Nut rotation is relative to bolt regardless of the element (nut or bolt) being turned. For required nut rotations of 1/2 turn and less, the tolerance is plus or minus 30 degrees; for required nut rotations of 2/3 turn and more, the tolerance is plus or minus 45 degrees. Applicable only to joints where all material within the grip is steel. When the bolt length exceeds 12db, the required nut rotation shall be determined by actual testing in a suitable tension calibrator that simulates the conditions of solidly fitting steel. Beveled washer not used. Table 1 - Nut Rotation from Snug-Tight Condition and Turn-of-Nut Pretension,b REV: A 12-19-12 4 STEPHENS MFG. PO. BOX 488 STEPHENS MFG. PO.

Refer to AISC Code of Standard Practices for Steel Buildings and Bridges. Prepare for installation and setup of your plant. Begin by positioning the plant adjacent to the concrete piers and then proceed with the steps as indicated below. NOTICE Place the “Stephens Thoroughbred or DC-Colt” as close to the concrete piers as possible to reduce crane time erecting of the plant on its piers. Figure 1: DC-Colt Figure 2: Thoroughbred w/ silo shipped loose WARNING Maintain safe clearance from power and overhead lines when orientating the unit for transfer and erection. Contact with overhead lines could cause serious injury, death, and/or damage to equipment. REV: A 12-19-12 6 STEPHENS MFG. PO. BOX 488 STEPHENS MFG. PO.

Use 7/8” x 2” Bolts* at bracing. 1. Prepare for lifting the plant onto the extension legs. Hook the crane cables to the lifting eyes/lugs and/or at stable braced areas as shown above. 2. Align plant with the top of the lower extension legs (already fastened to concrete piers). While plant is suspended, bolt connection plates together with applicable bolts. WARNING Use only certified lifting chain for crane lifting assignments as broken attachments can cause serious injury or death. Figure 3: Thoroughbred with silo attached 1. Bolt the six (6) bottom extension legs to the concrete piers, refer to Figure 4. (hand tighten only) 2. Bolt the cross bracing (hand tighten only). The minimum size anchor bolts are listed in the base plate layout prints, per Stephens Engineer Recommendations. Stephens supplies bolts for connection plates and leg support braces with the unit. 3. Refer to prints for approximate weight specifications of equipment. It is recommended that you use an oversized crane to eliminate any unnecessary lifts and moves with the smaller cranes. Contact factory for exact weights. 4. Axles can be returned for credit. Remove axles assemblies before the plant is raised. With proper support for the axles, loosen all the bolts that hold the axles to the transportation frame. If the axles, tires, wheels and brake air tank are in good working order they can be returned to the factory for credit. Customer is responsible for delivery freight to factory in Tompkinsville, KY. 2 1 1 Figure 5: Sketch Shows Thoroughbred WARNING 2 1 Maintain safe clearance of power and overhead lines when orientating the unit for transfer and erection.

Always use proper lock-out/tag-out procedures before working on electrical system, customer may also have to connect some pneumatic components. See specific customer prints for more details. 2. Remove the bolts from the bottom section of silo legs from the travel position. 3. Position the crane for lifting the silo in place. Use of a spreader bar/beam may be desirable to connect cables to outside lifting lugs of silo. WARNING Danger, 120 volt, single phase. 4. With the crane, slowly raise the silo frame and/or silo up into position. 5. While silo frame is suspended by crane, bolt legs to foundation and connection plates (hand tighten only). 6. Install all applicable braces between silo legs (hand tighten only). CAUTION Disconnect power and “Lock-Out” before servicing. WARNING Use only certified lifting chain for crane lifting assignments as broken attachments can cause serious injury or death. CAUTION More than one live circuit. Column Connections use 7/8” x 2-1/2” Bolts* Cement Batcher Setup Bracing uses 7/8” x 2” Bolts* Normally all electrical and pneumatic items will be wired and connected to the cement batcher. The customer will be responsible to remove all shipping brackets before operation the plant. The work platform around the cement batcher is an optional item; caution will need to be taken while removing brackets. 4 CAUTION Disconnect power and “Lock-Out” before servicing. 6 5 2 6 Figure 6: Thoroughbred with silo loose.
