Operating Conveyor Belt
To raise and lower the conveyor on the rear of the
machine, use the main conveyor lift switch on the
operating control console. (Page 3-4)
The belt speed is controlled by the engine speed and
how far the conveyor lever is advanced from neutral.
(Figure 4-8)
When the lever is pulled backward, the belt will move
to discharge material to the swivel or truck. By moving
the lever forward, the belt will run in reverse to free up a
clogged belt.
The deector hydraulically tilts, raises and lowers to
direct the material ow into the receiving truck or other
intended location.
Never use hands to free a clogged
belt. Keep clothing and hands away from moving
belt.

Braking
Braking is accomplished by returning the Forward/
Reverse Directional Control lever to NEUTRAL (center
position). As the lever is moved toward NEUTRAL, the
speed of travel will slow, allowing the operator to choose
the speed desired. The foot brake maybe also be used
to slow the machine.
The LeeBoy 3000C Force Feed Loader is equipped
with a parking brake located to the right of the operator
beside the 2-Speed gear switch. This brake should only
be used for emergency stopping, parking or changing
between high or low gears. (Figure 4-8)
