Operation
Truck Hitch Attachment Option
The truck hitch is an optional attachment that prevents
excessive and uneven braking from the paving material
truck. (Figure 4-62)
Figure 4-62. Truck Hitch Attachment Option
To engage the hitch with the rear wheels of the asphalt
truck:
1. Set the Truck Hitch selector lever to TRUCK
HITCH. (Figure 4-63) (If the lever is set on
CONVEYOR, it will raise and lower the conveyor
bed.)
2. Extend the arm extensions of the truck hitch by
pushing and holding the Truck Hitch button in the
OUT position.
3. The paving material truck then SLOWLY backs up
to the paver until the hitch makes contact with the
rear tires of the truck.
4. Retract the arm extension by pushing and holding
the Truck Hitch switch in the IN position until both
guide rollers are fully locked onto the truck wheel
rims.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the roller
guides to the inside of the wheel rims.

Electric Screed Options
The Legend Propane Screed is standard on the 8515D
paver, complete with propane burners on the main
screed and one burner on each screed extension.
Electric screed options are also available and include
an electric heat control box powered by a hydraulically-
driven generator. The Electric Legend Plus Screed
features electrically-heated main and screed extensions
and dual vibrators, and is equipped with replaceable
wear shoes.
The Legend 815HD Electric Screed option offers
numerous features for paving professionals. The main
screed and screed extensions are electrically heated by
six (6) 1000-watt and one (1) 1240-watt blade elements
(four 1000-watt and one 1240-watt on the main screed
and one 1000-watt on each screed extension). It is
equipped with replaceable, heavy-duty wear plates.
Dual vibrators, heavy-duty ight screws, heavy-duty
crown and valley mechanism, and a 3-Adjuster screed
system featuring AOA and vertical height adjustment
add even more screed control. Other options available
for this screed include heated endgates.
Power Crown Option
The Power Crown option automatically adjusts the
positive or negative crown as needed. (Figure 4-64)
The power crown option can only be used on the right
screed extension. The selector valve is located on the
right screed extension control cover. Move the selector
valve to the left for crown and to the right for normal
screed operation.
