Red Giant Grain Stir-Ator - David Manufacturing Co.

STEP 3
NOTE THE SEVEN-INCH DISTANCE
FROM THE EAVE OF THE BIN TO THE
CENTER LINE OF THE HOLES IN THE
TRACK. Bins with steeply-pitched roofs
may allow the 7" distance to be reduced.
Roofs with the low or “flat” profiles may
require more clearance. Reinforcements
for the roof or inner ladders which might
interfere with the movement of the Stir-Ator
should be trimmed off as indicated in
Drawing A on page 33. If this cannot be
done, the 7" distance from the eave to the
bolt holes must be incresed
proportionately.
STEP 4
There should be slightly more track
material than is required. Upon making the
complete circuit of the bin, the end of the
last section should be cut off so as to fit
snugly against the forward end of the first
length and a 7/16" hole drilled, 5/8" from
the cut-off end. ALL TRACK JOINTS
SHOULD BE ALIGNED AS SMOOTHLY
AS POSSIBLE. Mis-alignment should be
corrected by filing or bending, if necessary.
STEP 5
Because the Stir-Ator augers run very
close to the bin wall, INSIDE WALL
LADDERS MUST BE MOUNTED VERY
CLOSE TO THE BIN WALL. If this cannot
be accomplished, the ladder must be
removed. A portable ladder is advised, and
this can be obtained form your dealer. If
the walk in door protrudes over 2-1/2" into
the bin itself, SKID PLATES SHOULD BE
PUT ON THE DOOR so that the augers
will not get caught during Stir-Ator
operation.

STEP 6
At this time, hook the three suspension chain hooks over the
top edge of the fill hole. Space them equally around the fill
hole. See Drawing B on page 36 or Photo 1.
STEP 7
Install the switch box above the inspection hole. Be sure the
Red Giant will not hit it, and do not forget the brace. See Photo
1 or Drawing A on page 33.
Lead-in cord and shut-off chain need to be positioned so that
the Stir-Ator will not catch them as it rotates around the bin.
