4-44 LeeBoy 8520C Conveyor Paver
Operation
To install the slope meter:
1. Park the paver on a level surface. Use a level tool to
determine that the paver is level before installing.
2. The slope meter comes bolted to an aluminum
mounting plate (two bolts). Remove the bolts and
the slope meter from its mounting plate.
• If your paver is equipped with a metal block
welded onto the screed frame, discard the
mounting plate as you will be attaching the
slope meter directly to the metal block surface.
NOTE: Pay attention to the raised rims around the
bolt holes. The slope meter must be remount-
ed on the same side to prevent damage during
installation.
3. Align top edge with the frame edge. Use a level to
ensure it is perfectly level.
• If using the aluminum plate, align it onto the
mounting surface carefully, with the top edge of
the plate aligned with the frame edge.
• If installing onto the metal block, use a level tool
to ensure
4. Reinstall the two bolts securely, ensuring the raised
rims are in their original position.
NOTE: If using the aluminum plate, the lock wash-
ers provided MUST be used or the plate can
shake loose.
Hydraulic Tow PointsHydraulic Tow Points
The hydraulic tow point cylinder option provides the
means of adjusting the tow point from the main control
panel or screed control box. The tow point switch is
on the operator control panel. (Pages 3-6 and 3-7)
The hydraulic tow point cylinders and linkage allows 8
inches of travel for quick and easy height adjustments,
and integrates with sonic grade and slope automation.
1. Before paving, center the tow point by referring
to the screed elevation gauge on each side of the
paver. Raise or lower until the rod end is ush with
the “0” on the indicator.
2. While paving, refer to both gauges and make minor
adjustments to the screed using the tow point
adjustment or ight screw.
NOTE: Tow point cylinders will not function manually
when the machine is in the AUTO mode.
Screed Single-Point Lube Screed Single-Point Lube
SystemSystem
The screed single-point lube system combines all
screed lubrication points into one. When you pump
grease into the central point, valves distribute the
grease evenly to all the screed grease points.
