MACHINE OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to the engine manufacturer’s operation
and maintenance manual for instructions
when starting engine for the rst time. Follow
engine manufacturer’s recommendations for
fuel and oil.
Engine Start-Up
The Directional Control (FNR) lever
must be set in the NEUTRAL position before starting
engine.
DO NOT operate the starter longer
than 20 seconds. If the engine does not start, allow
the starter to cool for two to three minutes.
1. Set throttle to full open which is toward the front of
the roller.
2. Insert key into ignition switch and turn clockwise
to the START position. Release key when engine
starts.
3. Let engine idle for 30 seconds, then set the desired
throttle speed.
4. Check indicator and gauge operation.
5. Return to neutral position and turn ignition key
counterclockwise to shut down engine.
Engine Warm-Up
Allow engine and hydraulic oil to warm
up before activating components.
1. Start engine and let it idle for several minutes. Do
not accelerate rapidly during warm-up.
2. Operate the engine at less-than-normal loads and
speeds until engine reaches normal operating
temperatures.
Running the engine at high RPMs will
shorten its useful life.
NOTE: See engine manufacturer’s operation and
maintenance manual for more information.
Cold Weather Engine Warm-Up
In cold weather, keep the fuel tank
lled to reduce the chances for condensation and
corrosion. Do not ll the fuel tank to capacity. Leave
room for fuel expansion.
In cold weather, it is extremely
important to allow the engine and hydraulic oil to
warm up before activating components.
• Run engine for ve minutes.
• Operate each of the hydraulic functions before
moving machine.
Directional Control
The LeeBoy Model 400 and 400T Rollers are
designed to operate from forward to reverse with
a single drive lever. There are, however, two drive
levers: one on each side of the steering column.
These levers are inter-connected and arranged in this
manner for the operator’s convenience.
• Move lever from NEUTRAL (N) to FORWARD (F)
position to move roller forward. Move lever backward
from NEUTRAL (N) to REVERSE (R) position to move
roller backwards.
• Move lever further away from NEUTRAL (N) position
to increase ground speed. Move lever closer to
NEUTRAL (N) position to decrease ground speed.
When operating on an incline, the
roller may start to pull downward. Increase the
throttle setting, move drive lever towards NEUTRAL,
or a combination of the two, will counteract the pull.
