18' Manual Batch
When installing the rafters, set the lower clip end on the "C" eave member. Leave the bolts to the center collar and
the eave member loose until all rafters are in place. Use 3/8" x 1" hex bolts and nuts to connect the center collar and
eave member to three (3) rafters at 90 degrees to each other. These first three (3) rafters should all face the same
direction. Every other rafter should alternate direction. IMPORTANT: There are left & right rafters. Be sure to
alternate left, right, left, right, etc.. The floor sheet support purlins can now be installed using 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts.
There are two (2) different lengths of purlins to fit between the rafters. Insert the straight tab of the purlin through
the upper slot in the left hand rafter when looking toward the bottom of the rafters. Bolt the bent end of the purlin to
the right hand rafter in the upper two (2) holes. After inserting the next purlin tab, bolt the first purlin tab to the second
purlin. Continue around the bin alternating lengths as the rafter facings did. Tighten all bolts.
