8. When installing units not completely assembled, the correct procedure is to
completely assemble the unit at grade with the following procedure:
A. Stand or support the Bin Activator in a level position (discharge outlet
facing down).
B. If applicable, join the two (2) halves of the upper mounting flange and
tighten securely or weld.
C. If not already in position, place the flexible sleeve and two (2) complete
sleeve clamps on the Bin Activator******leave clamps loose.
D. Position the assembled mounting flange on the Bin Activator.
E. Install all suspension arms, insert high strength bolts in upper and lower
holes and snug up each elastic stop nut and bolt. After all nut bolts are
installed snug, tighten to the correct torque specifications.
F. Check placement of the flexible sleeve to mounting flange and Bin
Activator. A sealant material such as Silastic or Permatex may be used
between the sleeve and metal surfaces.
G. Position the upper and lower sleeve clamps close to the beaded edge of
the flexible sleeve. After seating and adjusting clamps, tighten both
securely.
Note: When tightening the clamps, be sure to support the
far side tube with vise grip pliers when turning nut.
Failure to do so, may cause a twisting action on
strapping which may lead to damage of clamp.
9. Run the unit as noted previously and tighten bolts as required, including
sleeve clamps.
Vibrator Installation
1. This unit imparts vibration to the Bin Activator. It must be securely bolted to
the unit (torque mounting bolts according to previous instructions), and all
bolts must be retightened after the first ten minutes of operation and again
during the second day of operation. All nuts and bolts, especially vibrator
mounting bolts, should be retightened every three (3) months or more
frequently depending on the amount of usage.
