    5. Installation GSI RECOMMENDS THAT YOU REFER TO THE GRAIN BIN INSTALLATION/USAGE MANUAL, BEFORE INSTALLING THE STIR-ATOR, TO CHECK FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BIN TO CARRY THE STIRRING AUGER SYSTEM. On a new bin installation, we recommend the stirrers be installed as the bin is assembled, allowing much of the work to be carried out at ground level.
