Abstract:
1. A method for mounting a wear bar to a screed frame of a screed section proximate a bottom edge of the screed frame, the method comprising: providing a first set of frame alignment holes on the screed frame, the first set of frame alignment holes having a substantially horizontal orientation along a plane parallel to the bottom edge of the screed frame; providing a first set of wear bar alignment holes on the wear bar, the first set of wear bar alignment holes aligned in a hole cluster having a substantially sloping orientation; and aligning at least one of the first set of frame alignment holes with at least one of the first set of wear bar alignment holes to achieve a desired height tolerance of the wear bar relative to a screed plate, wherein aligning a second at least one of the first set of frame alignment holes with a second at least one of the first set of wear bar alignment holes achieves a second desired height tolerance of the wear bar relative to the screed plate.
