Ground Control Kit for Discharge Gates

Determine the best location for each ground control kit. Note that each kit comes with 100' of cable, which
should be adequate for individual bin installations.

The cable idler pulley bracket is usually mounted at the top of the bin wall, just under the roof eave, in line
with the control wheel on the discharge gate. The ground control wheel-mounting bracket should be
mounted to the bin wall directly under the idler pulley bracket at a convenient operating height. It is
important to keep the cable in line with the control wheels on both the discharge gate and at the ground
to avoid having the cable “walk off” either wheel.

The ground control wheel can be mounted to the same bin as the discharge gate, or to an adjacent bin
