STEP 1. Refer to Figure 3. Remove support plate "F" and place head section on platform "B". Bolt head section to the platform on the short side flange (UP leg side) using 3/8" x 1 1/2" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Replace support plate "F" using existing bolts and bolt on top of head section flange (DOWN leg side) using 3/8" x 1 1/2" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nuts. STEP 2. Refer to Figure 3. Install braces "A" to service platform "B" using 1/2" x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Bolt the four (4) hand rails "C" and two (2) hand rails "D" to braces "A" as shown using 1/2"x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Bolt the two (2) upper short rails "E" to brace "A" and head section using 1/2" x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Bolt the two (2) hand rail brackets "G" to the head section end as shown using existing hardware. Attach the two (2) lower short rails "E" to brace "A" and to brackets "G" using 1/2" x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts.
STEP 3. Refer to Figure 3. Attach ladder extensions "H" to the motor mount using 1/2" x 2 1/2" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Bolt the lower end of extensions to the top hole of bracket on platform using 1/2" x 1 1/4" carriage bolt and hex nylock nuts. STEP 4. Refer to Figure 3. If ladder extension brackets "I" are required, bolt platform brackets "J" to platform using 1/2" x 1 1/2" HHCS and hex nylock nuts. Attach brackets "I" to ladder extensions "H" with 1/2" x 1 1/4" HHCS, flat washers, and hex nylock nuts. Bolt the lower end of extensions to brackets "I" with 1/2" x 1 1/4" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts.

NOTE:
to using 3/8" x 1 1/2" HHCS and hex nuts. Attach the lower end of ladder hand rails to brackets on platform using 1/2" x 1 1/4" carriage bolts and hex to using 1/2" x 1 1/4" carriage bolts to using a 1/2" x 1 1/4" HHCS and hex nylock nut.
Refer to Figure 6.
Refer to Figure 6.

between the flanges on the mid sections it will be located on. Attach using 3/8" x 1" HHCS and hex nylock nuts.
Rest Platform Section Assembly Instructions
Ladder & Cage Assembly Instructions Figure #5 Figure #4
STEP 1. Refer to Figure 4. Attach ladder bracket "B" to mid section on top of flange using 3/8" x 1 1/4" HHCS and hex nuts. Select the ladder "A" that corresponds to the length of mid section on which the ladder is being installed and bolt to bracket "B" using 1/2" x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts. STEP 2. Refer to Figure 5. Assemble cage rings "A", "B", & "C" to cage straps "D" as shown using 1/2" x 1 1/4" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts. STEP 3. Refer to Figure 5. Bolt the assembled cage to ladders as shown using 1/2" x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts. STEP 4. Refer to Figure 6. If ladder extension is applicable, bolt brackets "B" & "C" to ladder "A" using 1/2" x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts. Bolt the upper ends of ladder to lower ladder bracket "D" using 1/2" x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and hex nylock nuts. Secure extension ladder to elevator by bolting brackets "B" & "C" to flange on boot section.

Bucket and Belt Assembly STEP 1. Refer to Figure 7. Lay belt out on the ground or floor. Position buckets on the belt as they will be attached. Attach each bucket to the belt with five (5) flathead elevator bolts. Tighten the bolts so the flathead is pulled tight and is flush with the back side of the belt.
Figure #7
STEP 2. Refer to Figure 8. Remove the input hopper panel from the boot section and the observation door from the head section. STEP 3. Refer to Figure 8. Adjust take-up bolts to raise the boot pulley to the highest position. Loop a rope over the head pulley and down throught the elevator. Attach one end to the belt and bucket assembly and pass the other end under the boot pulley.
Figure #8
STEP 4. Refer to Figure 8. Pull the belt assembly into the elevator, up over the head pulley and down under the boot pulley. Be sure the buckets are properly oriented. Position belt assembly so it can be spliced at the boot section where input hopper panel is removed. (See Fig. 9.) STEP 5. Refer to Figure 10. Pull the belt ends together and assemble the belt splice as shown.
Figure #9
STEP 6. Refer to Figure 11. Belt tension is set by the two stainless steel take-up bolts which position the boot pulley. Tighten the boot pulley evenly until the bars of the pulley begin to form slight ridges across the belt and the belt has a flat taut appearance between the pulley bars. The elevator pulleys are crowned to cause the belt to run center. Uneven adjustment, however, may cause the belt to run to one side. Normally it runs to the loose side. If the belt runs to one side tighten the side to which it is running or loosen the opposite side.
