4-26 LeeBoy 8510E Conveyor Paver
Operation
Set the Screed, Flight Screw and
Endgate
The main screed and screed extensions are heated
by heating elements and equipped with replaceable,
heavy-duty wear plates. Use the screed extensions
when paving widths exceeding eight (8) feet. (Figure
4-43) The screed extensions should be heated before
making any adjustments using the wrench provided.
When adjusted correctly, pressure on the rear edge of
the extended screed is the same as the rear edge of the
main screed, resulting in a smooth mat the length of the
screed.
You can extend or retract the screed extension using
the extension levers on the hydraulic controls. (Pages
