1. From outside the bin, locate the center bin well control rod directly above the unloading tube, verify the center

well gate is closed. If necessary, drill a 3/8” dia. hole in the control rod 1/2” from the end of the rod (NOTE:

some control rods are predrilled and do not require drilling of the hole). Attach the rack & pinion chain

shaft to the end of the center well rod and secure with the 3/8” x 1 1/2” roll pin.

2. Using six 5/16 x 1 1/2” bolts and non-lock nuts, loosely attach the housing mount and 6” wide half-band to

the unload tube (the housing assembly will be properly positioned during final assembly).

3. Set the tube guide (with curved side down) on top of the housing mount and place the tail end of the chain

shaft onto the guide. Reposition the half-band and housing mount so the end of the chain shaft is flush with

the back side of the housing mount. Secure half-band and housing mount.

4. Attach the handle to the sprocket shaft using one 1/4” x 2” bolt and non-lock nut. Partially insert the shaft

into the side of the rack & pinion housing and install the two 1” I.D. flat washers and sprocket (sprocket hub

and washers should face towards the handle). Slide the shaft through the other side of the housing and

secure the sprocket using the 5/16” x 2 1/4” roll pin.

5. Place the 1/4” spacer plates between the tube guide and sprocket housing assembly, and position sprocket

assembly on top of the guide (make sure the teeth of the sprocket are properly positioned in the chain shaft).

7. Secure the assembly to the housing mount using four 3/8” x 1” bolts, lock washers and non-lock nuts.

CONTROL OPERATION

1. Verify all bin wells are closed.

To open the center well gate, turn the

handle to pull the center well control pipe

out away from the bin, the center well

control pipe will slide inside the control

pipe for the intermediate well(s).

To close center bin well, turn handle in the

opposite direction.

NOTE: The square attachment on the

handle allows the handle to be removed

and reinstalled if operation of the handle

would otherwise be restricted causing it

not to complete a full circle.

washer and non-lock nut provided.

Now when the handle is turned, both the

center and intermediate well gates will

open or close together. Remove the bolt

opened until the bin has emptied to

where grain will no longer flow into the

center well.
