Module Preparation
• Attach the Rear Ladders and Safety Cages to the rear of all modules if not already installed (see
appendix B of this manual).
• Attach the Front Safety Cages to the Front Ladder of all modules (see appendix A of this manual).
See PNEG-1273 for reference.
• Raise the Top Auger to its installed position.
• Install the Wet Bin Side Panels and attach them to the Top Auger Housing.
• Install the Pulleys, Belts, and Guards to the Top Auger and/or to the Bottom Auger.
• Install the Fill Hopper.
See PNEG-349REV for reference.
• Assemble the Service Platform onto the Top Module and/or the Middle Module.
• Attach all of the Stiffener Supports each Module.
• Double check to see if all parts are installed as needed.
Proceed to the Crane Bracket Placement Section >>
• Identify all parts shipped in crates or in the back of the dryer.
• Group parts for each of the assemblies together to have them at hand as needed.

Crane Bracket Placement
Base Modules and Middle
Modules utilize four crane
brackets. Brackets mount to
stack module support pads.
Lifting usually occurs between
the 2nd column from fan end to
the 6th column from fan end.
This will vary with model
number.
The module should remain
parallel to the earth as it is
lifted. Base Module crane brackets
Top Module crane brackets
Top Modules utilize 2 crane
brackets with 4 lifting points
and a spreader bar between.
These mount to column seams
on the roof screen.
Lifting usually occurs between
the 2nd column from fan end to
the 6th column from fan end.
The module should remain
parallel to the earth as it is
lifted.
Crane Bracket Location
Install the Crane Brackets onto the modules if not already installed.
A crane of sufficient lifting
capability should be used.
Loads of 5,000 to 15,000
pounds should be expected.

Setting Lower Module on Pedestals
BE ALERT!
Personnel working around this equipment while it is lifted into position must use ex-
treme caution. Lifting equipment (crane and rigging) must be of proper lifting capability
for the unit size and weight. All local safety precautions and procedures must be fol-
lowed.
1. Install stiffeners and service platform in accor-
dance with PNEG-349REV. At each stiffener/
pedestal location remove the 1/2” bolts and nuts
that attach the dryer frame leg to the frame rail.
Use that hardware to attach a stiffener base con-
nector clip (D01-1045).
D01-1045
2. Lift base module and position it in the location
the dryer is to occupy. NOTE: Crane brackets
may need to be adjusted to ensure that the
module will be parallel to the ground when
lifted. With the base module in position bolt a
pedestal to each stiffener base connector clip us-
ing 3/8”-16 x 1 1/2” bolts (S-7928).
Stiffener
3. With a stiffener splice (SS-7053), splice the
pedestal to stiffener at each pedestal location. Now
make sure any nuts and bolt used so far have all
been tightened.

Pedestal
When splicing pedestal to
stiffener use 3/8”-16 X 1 1/2”
bolts (S-7928) where circled,
use 3/8”-16 x 1” (S-7927) in all
other holes.

4. Set the lower module into final position and
check level. Use shims (SS-6953) to level lower
module if needed.
Shims
Anchoring Lower Module to Foundation
5. Anchor lower module to foundation. If anchor
bolts were not set when the concrete was poured,
then drill holes in the foundation to accept anchor
bolts (use 3/4” x 9 5/8” minimum anchors with
epoxy resin).
GSI has 1” x 12” anchor bolts (Part no. S-8957),
tubes of epoxy (GTC-0004), and mixing nozzles
for epoxy tubes (GTC-0005). An epoxy gun will
be needed.
6. Attach front (BLK-10058) and back (BLK-
10057) leg anchor plates to legs using 5/16”-18 x
3/4” bolts (S-6606), and 5/16”-18 nuts (S-3611)
as shown in the photo on the right. BLK-10057
