INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Ensure any affected hopper bins are empty before
attempting installation.
The Automatic Bin Slide assembly is installed by using the existing bolts that fasten the existing
lower boot to the transfer plate assembly, as shown on the next page.
1. Unbolt and drop the lower boot assembly from the transfer plate. Make sure to properly
support the lower boot assembly while it is dislodged from the transfer plate to avoid
cracking the PVC and damaging your system.
2. Work the existing shutoff slide(s) back and forth inside the transfer plate to ensure the
slide tracks move smoothly and are free of debris. Remove the slide(s) when all the debris
has been removed.
3. The Automatic Bin Slides come with optional shaft yokes that can be bolted onto the bin
slide shafts opposite the motor housings. The yoke allows manual operation of the bin
slide while the motor's switches are in the neutral position with a Shepherd's hook. Before
installing, make sure the slide on the automatic bin slide is set to the fully open position
(Note: DO NOT attempt to manually operate the Automatic Bin Slide if the motor is fully
wired and not in the neutral or "Hold" position. The motor will not allow free rotation
while electrically engaged, and trying to manually operate the bin slide in this state can
potentially damage the motor and void the
