Ladder & Cage Assembly Instructions
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.

Figure #11
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.
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.
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.
