DISCLAIMERS
Foundation Design
The foundations for the stiffened bin models are based on 4000 lbs. per sq. ft. (192 kPa) soil
bearing capacity. All foundation designs use 3000 lbs. per sq. in. (21 MPa) ultimate compressive
strength (after 28 days) for concrete and 43,500 lbs. per sq. in. (300 MPa) re-bar. The foundation
designs included in this manual are suggestions only, and will vary according to local soil
conditions. Westeel will not assume any liability for results arising from their use.
IMPORTANT:Foundation should be uniform and level. Level should not
vary by more than ¼" over a span of four feet under the
bottom ring angle. Any variance from level must be shimmed
under upright base assembly. If being utilized to support a full floor
aeration system, this levelness requirement should extend across
the complete floor area.
Method of Erection
The recommendations for erecting Westeel Grain Bins should be closely followed to achieve the
full strength of the bin and to achieve adequate weather sealing. Warranty is void if the
recommendations are not followed including but not limited to:
1. Wall sheets and/or uprights, which are not specified for a given tier, are used.
2. Foundations are found to be inadequate or out-of-level.
3. Anchor bolts (cast-in-place, drill-in, chemical type or other) are found to be inadequate.
4. Off-center loading or unloading is used. This does not apply to the use of approved side
unloading systems.
5. Materials stored are not free-flowing or have a compacted bulk density greater than 55
lbs/ft3 (880 kg/m3).
If using Bin Jacks: Always lift on an upright. Choose a hoist with a suitable capacity for the
expected empty bin deadload. Make sure the rated capacity of the hoist is not
exceeded.
Design
These Westeel Grain Bins are designed for:
1. Non-corrosive, free-flowing materials up to 55 lbs/ft3 (880 kg/m3) average compacted bulk
density.
2. Maximum horizontal gusted wind speed of 94 mph (151 km/h).
3. Seismic zone 2a (U.B.C. 1997).
4. 15.0 lbs/ft2 (.72 kPa) roof snow load.
24.0 lbs/ft2 (1.15 kPa) roof snow load when the optional roof stiffening rings are installed.
5. 4000 lbs. (17.8 kN) evenly distributed on peak ring for 15’ – 24’ bins.
5000 lbs. (22.2 kN) evenly distributed on peak ring for 27’ – 48’ bins.
Page 6
Site and Assembly
Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing, Westeel does not take responsibility for any
defects or damages to any property, or injury to any persons, arising from or related to any site or
assembly considerations, including but not limited to:
•
Bin location and bin siting;
•
Soil conditions and corresponding foundation requirements (note that the examples
provided in manuals are for specifically stated soil conditions);
•
Bin assembly (Westeel recommends the use of qualified bin installers; contact
Westeel for information on installers in your area);
•
Field modifications or equipment additions that affect the bin structure; and
•
Interconnections with neighbouring structures.
•
Compliance with all applicable safety standards, including but not limited to fall
restraint systems (ladders or other systems). Local safety authorities should be
contacted as standards vary between jurisdictions.
Critical Assembly Requirements
1. Local code and jurisdictional requirements that are applicable to the grain bin installation
must be adhered to.
2. Foundations must be designed for the loads being imparted to them, and for local soil
conditions. Westeel foundation guidelines are for a set of stated conditions and may not
be applicable to local conditions.
3. A foundation must provide uniform and level support to the grain bin structure being
supported. Surface imperfections causing gapping must be remedied. This may involve,
but not be limited to - grouting under the bottom ring of a non-stiffened bin, and shimming
under the uprights of a stiffened bin or under the legs of a hopper.
4. If extending an existing bin, ensure that the foundation is adequate for the increased loads
that will be subjected to it.
5. If installing an existing bin on a hopper, ensure that the bin is designed for a hopper
application, and that the foundation is capable of withstanding the substantial point loads
that the hopper legs apply. If uprights are present, ensure that they are supported.
6. Ensure that the proper hardware is utilized for all bolted connections. Refer to the
‘Hardware “Where Used” Chart’ in the Installation Manual. If a shortage occurs do not
substitute. Take the necessary steps to obtain the proper hardware. Ensure nuts are
tightened to the required torque values as provided in the Installation Manual.
7. Refer to the appropriate Installation Manual to ensure a safe, proper structure, in
particular but not exclusively for the wall sheet and upright layouts. Do not deviate from
the layouts provided.
8. Ensure that an integral end-to-end connection exists between mating uprights.
Successive uprights must not overlap.
Page 7
9. Vertical tolerances between uprights and wall sheets are tight. This can be affected by
“jacking” techniques, which can allow the tolerance to grow or shrink depending on the
technique used. The gapping between successive uprights must be monitored to ensure
that upright holes align with bin sheet holes.
10. When installing roof stiffening rings, and if it is necessary to shorten the stiffening ring
tubes, shorten them as little as possible. Initially the nuts on the expanders should be
centered and as close together as possible. When tightening, share the amount of takeup between expanders such that the nuts remain centered, and the amount of
engagement between all expanders on the same ring is equalized.
11. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, ensure that the bin is round. The maximum
variation from perfect roundness is 3/4" on the radius (see details in "wall sheet and
bottom angle " section of manual). Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor
bolt holes (away from bin) to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the
initial filling.
Grain Bin Use
1.
Do not off-center unload a grain bin. It is imperative to unload from the center of the bin
first, until as much grain as possible has been removed, and only then proceed to unload
from the next closest unload gate to the center. Continue utilizing the unload gates in
succession from the center towards the outside. Gate control mechanisms should be
clearly marked and interconnected to prevent an external gate from being opened first.
2.
The only exception to center unloading is when a properly designed and installed side
draw system is utilized. However, as bins tend to go out of round when employing side
draws, the bin must be completely emptied before refilling.
3.
When unloading a bin with a mobile auger through a properly designed auger chute, the
entry end of the auger should be pushed into the center of the bin before the auger is
engaged. Slower rates of flow are preferable and should not exceed the capacity of an 8”
auger.
4.
Ensure that the inner door panels of grain bin doors are completely closed and latched
before filling the grain bin.
5.
Never enter a loaded grain bin for any reason. Grain can be a killer.
Product Storage
Rust on Galvanized Parts
1. White rust forms when moisture is allowed to collect on galvanized surfaces that have yet to
develop the durable zinc oxide layer. This zinc oxide layer naturally occurs as the surface
interacts with carbon dioxide, and is characterized over time by the dull grey appearance that
weathered galvanized surfaces get.
2. Parts that are not well ventilated or well drained can collect water between surfaces and
develop white rust.
3. White rust is not a structural concern if its development is stopped in the early stages. A
light film or powdery residue can occur after a period of heavy rainfall or a short time of
improper storage. If white rust has started to develop, separate parts and wipe off any
moisture. Next, using a clean cloth, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or food-grade oil
to the entire part.
Page 8
4. If moisture is left on parts, this white rust can become more aggressive and turn into red
rust. Red rust can cause degradation in the material and become a structural concern.
Any parts that have red rust should be replaced immediately.
Storage Guidelines
1. Keep all bundles dry before assembly of the
bin. Start assembly as soon as possible. Do not
lay bundles on the bare ground, raise all bundles
6” – 8” off the ground on wood blocks or timbers.
Store curved wall sheets ‘hump-up’. All other
bundles material should be placed so that they are
well sloped to promote good drainage.
2. Roof sheets must be elevated at least 12” at the
small end of the sheets.
3. Temporary storage can be provided by erecting
a simple framework supporting a waterproof tarp.
4. All bin boxes, ladder boxes and hardware boxes should be stored inside. These are not
waterproof, and will deteriorate in normal weather conditions, allowing moisture to contact
the parts inside.
If Parts Become Wet
1. If goods become submerged or wet, the
bundles should be opened as soon as possible,
sheets or material separated and dried. Keep
separated until assembly. Brace goods
properly so as to avoid damage or injury from
material falling when in storage.
2. Any boxed goods that become wet should be dried and stored in a new box that is free of
moisture.
3. In addition to wiping down wallsheets, a food-grade oil can also be applied with a clean,
lint-free cloth. This will assist in preventing any further moisture from contacting the
galvanizing on the steel. Due to safety concerns with installation and use, Westeel does
not recommend the use of oil on other parts such as roof sheets and safety ladders.
Page 9
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. In order to maintain your wall sheets in good condition separate sheets and allow air
circulation between them. Store sheets in a dry place. Do not store sheets with sheet
ends pointing upwards.
2. To keep an even pressure on walls, the bin must always be unloaded from the centre.
3. Contact local power officials for minimum power line clearance.
4. See "Disclaimers - Design" for materials which can be stored.
5. Tighten all bolts to the recommended torque setting (see Recommended Bolt Torques
table in Appendix).
6. Do not locate grain bin close to high buildings, which might cause snow to fall onto or
build up on the roof of the grain bin. Consider future expansion and allow space for
loading and unloading of the bin. Your dealer and local government agricultural
consultants can help you plan your storage system for maximum efficiency.
Shortages and Damaged Parts;
Report damaged parts or shortages immediately to the delivering carrier, followed by a
confirming letter requesting inspection by the carrier, if required. Order any replacement parts
immediately to ensure that assembly will not be held up by missing parts. All parts will be
charged for and credit will be issued by party at fault - no credit will be issued if freight bill are
signed as received in good condition.
Order Optional Equipment;
Optional equipment such as unloading augers, aeration equipment, anchor bolts, foundation
sealant, external ladders, safety cage and platforms, etc., should all be on site and checked
before assembly starts. Plan your installation in advance. For details, see assembly
instructions supplied with optional equipment.

In addition Westeel suggests the use of 1/2” x 3” embedment anchor bolts through the bottom ring angle to insure bin roundness, for sealing purposes, and for additional localized lateral stability. For stiffened bins the primary anchor bolt locations are through the base plates at each and every upright location. The anchor bolt design, plus connection details to the base plate, must accommodate the total shear and uplift loads that can occur due to wind loading at the site in question. Grain Bin Anchoring: Adequate anchoring is critical to a successful bin installation. The anchoring of the bin is dependent on local wind loading conditions and forms part of the site specific design requirements. The anchor bolt details must form part of the site specific foundation design. IMPORTANT

additional ½” washer underneath the 3/8” anchor bolt washer. The ½” washer should have an OD of at least 1.4” and a thickness of a least 1/10” This is
needed to provide adequate resistance against angle uplift.
Choose a site which is well drained and has a minimum soil-bearing capacity of 3700 lbs. per sq. ft. (177 kPa). If soil-bearing capacity is not known, consult a
local engineering representative.
Use 4” to 6” (100-150 mm) of well compacted coarse gravel below slab and ring footing.
Use 3000 lbs. per sq. in. (21 MPa) concrete.
Make sure the foundation is level. The bin wall must have a uniform support to carry the wall loads and weather-sealing the bottom is made easier if the
foundation is level. Camber the outside edge of the concrete to ensure that water drains.
The bin may be anchored using either 3/8” drill-in anchor bolts or 3/8” cast-in-place anchor bolts as shown in section B. Layout dimensions are provided in the
table. Install one anchor bolt for every hole provided (6 per bottom ring angle section). For areas where wind speeds exceed 100km/h, use an

ROOF ASSEMBLY
1. Assemble top tier of wall sheets as per ‘Wall Sheet
Assembly detail’ page. Caulk vertical seams.
2. Attach top ring angle to wall sheets. For 27’-48’ roofs,
ensure that one of the horizontal slots on the top ring
angle, lines up with the vertical wall sheet seam. Do
not position the join between two adjacent top ring
angles, directly over the Grain Gauge cutout. Insure
that the top ring angle “bridges” the cutout and that
the closest join is at least 2 or 3 holes away. (see
‘Roof Ladder and Sheet detail’ page).
ROOF CAP AND REMOTE
OPENER ASSEMBLY
STIFFENING RING ASSEMBLY
3. Attach foam closure onto peak ring. (As shown
below).
4. The peak ring can be supported in place using
four roof sheets installed at quarter points
around bin. These may require re-positioning as
assembly progresses. (Refer to "Peak Ring Table"
below for hole line that suites your application.)
LADDER AND
ROOF SHEET
ASSMBLY
INSPECTION HATCH
ASSEMBLY
5. Install roof sheets counterclockwise lapping left
rib over right rib of preceding sheet. Use 2 bolts at
each roof sheet to peak ring connection. Ensure gap
between roof sheet ribs and peak ring is sealed by foam closure.
BIRD STOP ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: As assembly proceeds, additional support is advised to keep peak ring level. Leave all
roof bolts loose until roof is completely assembled.
6. Install the inspection hatch roof sheet. The inspection hatch can be pre-assembled on the 21’ and larger models if
desired (see Installation of ‘Inspection Hatch detail’). Install the roof ladder on the adjacent roof sheet. Install
ladder rails on the 15’ - 24’ models (see ‘Roof Ladder and Sheet detail’ page).
7. If the roof is equipped with stiffening rings, install the stiffening rib brackets (with a neoprene gasket under each),
as the roof sheets are being assembled (see ‘Stiffening Ring detail’ page). Leave off the last few in the area where
the final stiffening ring connection will be made.
8. Slide stiffening ring tubes into brackets as
required. Splices and expanders are used to join
tubes. Use an expander to make the last
connection. On rings with multiple expanders,
the expanders should be evenly spaced
around the roof. On roofs with multiple
stiffening rings, stagger the ring joints to avoid
having more than one joint on same roof
sheet.
Offset roof ring joints
more than one roof
sheet over
Do not position more than
one roof ring joint on the
same roof sheet
Do not position
temperature cable
support on a roof sheet
that has a stiffening ring
joint
IMPORTANT: When installing temperature cables, offset the cable supports more than one roof
sheet from stiffening ring joint.
9. The last stiffening ring segment must be field cut such that there is a 2½" gap between the mating tubes. With nuts
close to one end, insert long end of expander into one tube and, by flexing both tubes, make the connection to the
mating tube.
IMPORTANT: Once this connection is made, thread nuts back until they are together at the center of
the threaded rod.
Page 18
10. Install the remaining stiffening ring clips.
11. Tighten roof hardware. (see ‘Recommended Bolt Torque Table’)
12. Expand nuts on stiffening ring expanders until slack has been taken up and roof is snug. Nuts must be centered on
the threaded rod. Use the painted marking as a guide. On rings with multiple expanders, the distance between the
nuts on all of them should be equal.
13. If desired install eaves closures (see appropriate ‘Eaves Closure instructions’). Plastic/ closures are used on the
15’ – 24’ models. These are held in place with a 5/16 x 2 ¾” bolt and 5/16” flange nut that protrudes through the
roof sheets, eaves closure and top ring angle. On the 27’ models and larger, a steel bird stop and foam closures
are used.
14. Assemble roof cap, remote cap opener (if applicable) and associated components (see appropriate ‘Remote Cap
Opener Installation’ or ‘Flat Roof Cap Installation’).

Once the eyebolts and the LH/RH springs are on the pivot arm, the best way to hook
the 'legs' of the pivot arm into the bracket is to let the arm hang towards the ground to
keep the springs 'loose' as the illustration shows. Caution must be used when
bringing the pivot arm up when attaching it to the roof cap due to the force on the springs.

REMOTE ROOF CAP OPENER SYSTEM
(STANDARD FOR 5 – 9 TIER BINS)
1. Bolt pivot arm brackets (3) to peak ring. (Brackets are interchangeable, right to left.)
2. Install peak ring gasket (21) to peak ring and trim to fit.
3. Fasten a 3/8” x 1½” (13) bolt to the hole in the pivot arm bracket and hook straight leg of
spring under bolt. Bolt should be double nutted as shown.
4. Slide two 5/16” eye-bolts (7) onto pivot arm (2) and insert end of pivot arm through spring and bracket.
5. Slide remaining spring (15) onto pivot arm. Fasten remaining 3/8” x 1½” bolt to other arm
bracket and hook other spring leg under bolt.
6. Clip ends of springs onto pivot arm. (Lower pivot arm down into roof to make this easier.)
7. Bolt rope arm (1) to cap using 5/16” x 3/4” bolt. Bolt rope arm bracket (22) to cap with 5/16” eye-bolt (7) and
fasten bracket to rope arm. (Do not tighten rod eye-bolt). Overlap second rope arm using the 5/16”
x 2” bolt (27). Install 5/16” x 2” bolt and nut to the end of rope arms and fasten cable (6) to
bolt with cable clamp (16).
8. Pull pivot arm up and insert a 2 x 4 across peak ring and under the pivot arm.
9. Attach a nut to each pivot arm eye-bolt, ensure nuts are threaded down to end of thread. Place cap over
eye-bolts and tighten nuts on top.
10. Remove 2 x 4 and test closing of cap. The roof cap should be offset toward the back (see
"ROOF LADDER" page). Adjust pivot arm brackets (3) if necessary.
11. Fasten slide rod angle (5) to roof rib, three holes down from top (for 15-30) and 4 holes down (for 33-
48).
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
Insert slide rod (4) through eye-bolt in roof cap and large hole in peak ring.
Fasten slide rod (4) to slide rod angle (5) with ½” nuts (12) one on each side of angle.
Adjust eye-bolt so cap is supported on slide rod (4) and tighten all cap hardware.
Fasten Guide Rail (23) to nearest roof sheet ribs on both sides of slide rod (4).
Install 3/8” eye bolt (10) and Guide Plate (24) approximate on center of roof sheet eave. Thread cable
through eye-bolt. Install a second 3/8” eye-bolt (10) on the down angle of guide plate in line with the first
eye-bolt. Thread cable through the 2nd eye-bolt to fully align the cable over the guide plate down the bin.
17. For 15-30: Install cleat hook (17) directly below eave eye-bolt, approx. 7-8 ft above grade. If cleat position
falls near a hor or ver seam bolt, use this bolt to mount the cleat hook. If not, drill a hole to suit. Install a
rubber washer behind the cleat to maintain a weather seal. For 33-48: install the cleat hook as per
step 19.
18. Thread cable through the ¼” flange nut (20), the spring (18), and the PVC handle (19) in that order. Pull
cable tight enough to just begin to open the bin cap. Mark the spot on the cable that is even with the cleat
hook when the cable is slightly in tension. Loop the cable large enough to allow the handle to hang
horizontally 12” down from the mark. Push the nut and spring above the mark. Clamp cable at the mark
and trim. Insert nut into spring and position the spring on the top of the clamp. Position a second clamp
approx. the diameter of the roof cap up the cable (36”), tightening it firmly enough to hold the cap in the
open position. Adjust as required so that the cap is fully open in the open position.
19. The pulley (25) and pulley bracket (26) are to be fastened to the cable end approximately
10 ft. off grade. Cut remaining cable and thread through pulley brackets. Fasten one end to
the eye bolt (10) on the wall sheet and thread other end of cable through ¼” flange nut
(20), spring (18) and PVC handle (19). Loop the handle and fasten to the cable so that the
handle hangs about 7-8 ft. above grade at a reachable height. Trim the cable, leaving 6”
extra above the clamp for final adjustment (See drawing on page 12). Next, pull the handle
down so that the cap is in the fully open position. Mark the handle clamp location on the
wall sheet, then drill and install the cleat hook at this position. Be sure to install a rubber
washer behind the cleat to maintain a weather seal. Test to see if the cap is fully open
when the cleat traps the handle, adjusting the height of the handle to fit. When the proper
handle height is firmly clamped, trim excess cable. If desired, a rope can be tied to the
handle and an eyebolt installed on the bin to tie off the handle when the lid is closed.

DESCRIPTION
LIFTING OF WIDE-CORR BINS WITH CRANES
The table below lists the maximum height and weight limits for each diameter of bin which Westeel approves for
lifting by the roof using a crane. These limits assume that the total lifted load is evenly distributed around the
peak ring, through the use of a lifting tripod or similar device of adequate strength. Any bin exceeding EITHER
the height or weight limit MUST be lifted using jacks or similar method which supports the wall sheets directly.
These limits are critical. Failure during lifting carries the risk of serious injury or death.

Important Safety Notes:
Limits above are based on safe lifting of the bin only. They are not based on design factors for lifting
people or objects over people. Adequate safety blocks or supports must be used when working
under or near the bin wall.
Extreme caution must be used when lifting bins more than a few inches, for example when
mounting bins on hoppers. “Bouncing” of the load and/or wind gusts can add significantly to
the loads on the roof and could cause overloading and/or failure.
Please refer to any additional capacity information, lifting instructions, and safety information
provided by the crane manufacturer.

INSPECTION HATCH DETAILS
OPERATION OF INSPECTION HATCH (15’ AND 18’ BINS ONLY)
Use thumb pressure in the position shown (edge or butt of hand also works well). Press towards lid for easy “pop-up”
release.
Pushing the spring in helps the lip of the cover to clear the “nose” of the spring. The force of compressed gasket helps get
the inspection hatch cover off the catch. (Inspection hatch is more difficult to open without a bulb gasket in place.) Apply a
small amount of lubrication on the nose of the spring catch as shown to reduce the friction of the cover as it slides over
the catch. WD40 or equivalent will work without attracting dust.

GRAIN GAUGE™
GRAIN GAUGE™ INSTALLATION & USE INSTRUCTIONS
The Grain Gauge™ is a clear Polycarbonate unit that shows when
the grain level reaches the top of the sidewall. The highly reflective
tape is visible at night when a light is directed at it. When you can
no longer see this reflective tape - the Grain Gauge™ is full
and the grain auger should be shut off. The Grain Gauge™ and
reflective strip comes packaged in the parts box.
The cut-out for the Grain Gauge is located in a separate top tier
wall sheet. Position this sheet for maximum benefit (usually facing
the direction of the auger that will be loading the bin). The Grain
Gage wall sheet can also be rotated to position the Grain
Gauge at two possible positions…an upper position for
smaller augers and/or larger bins and a lower position for
larger augers and/or smaller
Install the reflective strip on the center web of the cut-out as shown. Caulk around the outside of the bolt
holes on the Grain Gauge™ flange with the 1/16” x 3/8” tape caulking supplied. Fasten the Grain
Gauge™ to the decal sheet using grain bin bolts with the indented upside down “V”
Note: Do not position the joint between two adjacent top ring angles directly over the Grain Gauge™
cutout. Insure that the top angle “bridges” the cutout and that the closest joint is at least 2 or 3 holes
away. On bin diameters 27' and larger, it will be necessary to field drill the top two Grain Gauge holes
through the top ring angle.

1.
Using the grain gauge, position the grain gauge
at a desirable location on the bin. The normal
location is such that the top holes in the grain
gauge are centered in the second corrugation
valley below the top horizontal row of bin bolts at
the eave (see diagram).
2.
Mark and drill out holes using a 3/8” drill.
3.
Next mark and cut-out the two slots,
using the holes as a reference, according
to the diagram.
4.
Install the reflective strip on the center web.
5.
Install the grain gauge using bin bolts with
the indented upside down “V” at the bottom.

BIN ROUNDNESS
It is imperative that the bin be as perfectly round as possible. The use of a string anchored and centered
on the concrete foundation to scribe a circle is required (see chart below for calculated radii. These radii
are 3/4" smaller than the wall sheet radius at the bottom, so that the scribed circle can be seen during
assembly). A perfectly placed ring of sheets should be 3/4" on the outside of this line all the way around.
This should be the first step in assembling a bin. The maximum amount that a bin can be out of round is
3/4 " on the radius, when measured from the center of the bin. In addition the wall sheets must form a
smooth circle with no flat or elongated portions. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, ensure again
that the bin is round, within tolerance. Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor bolt holes
(away from bin) to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling.

DOOR INSTALLATION
Install the door from the inside of the bin using 3/8” x 1¼” bolts. The door should overlap the top spacer sheet as
shown below. Place caulking on the top spacer sheet above and below the row of holes where it will meet with the
door frame. The bottom spacer sheet overlaps the door from the inside as shown. Place caulking above and below
the row of holes where it will meet the door frame. Both spacer sheets must be installed below the door if auger chute
and full floor aeration are used. Locate door tie-back to secure door in open position.

AUGER CHUTE INSTALLATION
Bolt the auger chute hood to the auger door board, as shown below using the 3/8” x 1” round head bolts
(150594) provided with the door. Install the auger hood pieces with the door board closed. Before
tightening the nuts, position the two auger hoods such that the tabs near the back of the auger hoods fit
snugly together and such that the top seam where the left and right chutes come together is sealed tight.
Tighten nuts. Note: if planning to use an auger hood block-off plate, use 3/8” x 1½” bolts as illustrated
below at the six locations marked with an “X”.

To convert a standard door configuration to an auger hood version:
1. Remove the lower door board by pushing up the long hinge rod sufficiently to clear the door board. Save the spacer
washer at the bottom of the door board.
2. Insert the proper auger door board as shown. Reinsert the long rod and spacer washer.
3. Bolt the hinge bracket to the frame using ¼” x ¾” hex bolts. Put the head of the bolt on the inside of the door. Orient
the hinge bracket similar to the other hinge bracket on the other side.
4. Put the ½” push nut on one end of the short hinge rod. Push it down about ¾”.
5. Position the second auger door board and insert the short rod through the hinge bracket, through the auger door
board and through the door frame at the bottom. Remember to insert the spacer washer as shown.
6. Bolt on the auger chutes as provided elsewhere.
To convert an auger hood door version to a standard door configuration:
1. Remove the two auger door boards by pulling the hinge rods sufficiently to clear them. The short rod can be removed
completely. Save the spacer washer.
2. Insert the lower door board and reinsert the long hinge rod. Remember to insert the spacer washer.
3. Be sure that the top and bottom door boards are positioned properly with respect to each other. This can be
determined by the handle location on the door as shown above (6.1” from the top on the top door board and 3.65”
from the top on the bottom door board). Another check is to insure that the handles align with the mating studs on the
door frame.

BIN JACK
Have jacks evenly spaced around the
bin. Use one jack per wall sheet.
Each jack should have a capacity 5
times the expected load.
Choose a hoist with a suitable capacity
for expected load. Make sure the rated
capacity of the hoist is not exceeded.

HOPPER CONE TO BIN INSTALLATION
Use only Westeel Hopper Cones which are specifically designed to suit Westeel Wide-Corr Bins. When installing a
hopper cone to a new bin installation refer to the following instructions:
NEW BIN APPLICATION
1. Pour foundation as per instructions provided with your hopper. Ensure foundation has fully cured before
continuing the assembly of your bin. If a Westeel skid base is used, a compacted gravel base can be used
instead of a concrete foundation. Follow the soil bearing information and site preparation instructions on pages
12 to 16.
2. Assemble bin as per the instructions on pages 17 – 28. Pages 44 – 47 show the wall sheet layouts for the 15’
– 24’ bin for hopper. The bottom ring angle and door installation instructions may be disregarded when your
WC bin is installed on a hopper cone.
3. Position hopper cone on foundation and align hopper with bin as shown in below. Ensure all bottom holes
on the bottom wall sheets are clear of bolts.
4. Use of a bin crane to lift your bin is recommended. Ensure the crane and all other lifting devices have
adequate capacity to handle the maximum bin weight safely. Lift bin by placing a round support or 'tripod'
inside the bin directly under the vent collar.
5. Leave the vertical seam bolts loose on the bottom tier only for easy assembly. Align the bin with the cone as
shown in below. Fasten bin to hopper cone with 3/8” x 1¼” bolts c/w nut & washer. Insert one bolt on one side,
the next bolt on the opposite side of bin, then the next 2 bolts at right angles to the first 2. This will position the
bin on the hopper properly. Once the bin is in place, insert all other bolts and tighten the loose bolts.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-Use only lifting devices of adequate rated capacity.
-Ensure hopper cone is level and all load points contact the foundation.
-Ensure all fasteners are tightened as per torque instructions on page 51.

APPENDIX V
RECOMMENDED BOLT TORQUES
IMPORTANT
CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU OR YOUR ERECTOR HAVE APPLIED PROPER TORQUE TO THE BIN
BOLTS AND USED THE RECOMMENDED ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE.

GRADE MARK
Periodically check bolt assembly with an accurate torque wrench to ensure that the torque specifications
shown above are being maintained. A properly tightened bolt will compress the sealing washer
noticeably.
Hold bolt head securely when tightening nut to prevent damage to the sealing washer. Always tighten the
nut, not the bolt.
Do not substitute bolts in place of those supplied by Westeel.
IMPORTANT: Avoid bin assembly at temperatures below -10°C (14°F) if possible. Bolt tightening
at low temperatures does not ensure strong and well sealed connections.
