SECTION 310-ASSEMBLING YOUR GOLD
SERIES
310.1 Hardware
Refer to Figure 310.1 for typical assembly points of a
standard collector. Refer to the General Dimension
drawings for specifics, such as item part numbers, inlet
and outlet locations, foundation dimensions and
accessories.
Locate the cartons containing the installation hardware.
The cartons will be labeled with the part number and are
normally located inside the inlet. The carton containing
the hardware to be used for the support legs and cross
braces will be labeled "hardware kit for structural
support". The carton(s) to be used to bolt the bin-vent to
the hopper(s) will contain 3/8-16 thread cutter screws and
roll(s) of gray rope caulk. Separate the hardware for ease
of location during assembly.
310.2 Hoppers
Locate the hopper(s) and support legs. Remove the
hopper(s) from the skid(s) and place on a flat, level
surface. Note: GS24 and smaller units will ship with the
support legs, cross braces and hopper(s) pre-assembled.
If your collector includes multiple hoppers place them in
the correct configuration as shown on the General
Dimensions drawing. Using a tape measure or string line,
square the hopper(s) as necessary. Bolt the hopper(s)
together using the corner support brackets and hardware
as shown on Figure 310.2.
310.3 Support Legs and Braces
Refer to Figure 310.2 for general assembly and your
support structure drawing for specific parts. Locate the
support legs and bolt them to the corner support
brackets. Locate the cross braces and bolt them to the support legs. If your collector contains knee
braces, bolt one end to the support leg and the other end to the corner support bracket. Note: Do not
tighten any of the bolts until all bolts have been started.
310.4 Hopper/Support Structure Assembly
Lift the completed hopper/support structure assembly with a forklift or chain hoist and carefully overturn
into an upright position. Note: The slots for lifting in the corner support brackets –Figure 310.2.
Move the assembly into final position. Ensure that inspection panels or optional device connections are
in the desired orientation. Note: On GS6, 10 & 20 collectors, the bin-vent to hopper(s) bolt-holes are
not symmetrical. Turn the hopper/support structure assembly so that when the "Match Line"
label(s) on the hopper(s) line up with the "Match Line" label(s) on the bin-vent, the collector is in
the desired orientation. The "Match Line" labels do not have to line up perfectly; they are intended
only for general hopper to bin-vent orientation –Figure 310.3.
Level the hopper flange(s) with a transit or carpenter's level. Grout the support leg bases as necessary.
Anchor the support legs to the floor using appropriate concrete anchors (by installing contractor).
310.5 Filter Module
If your collector is equipped with a top-mounted fan, locate the fan mount panel and clean the area
around the fan flange that will be in contact with the rope caulk. If your collector is equipped with a remote
