LeeBoy 5300B - Paver Operation; Spray down

PAVER OPERATION
Spray DownSpray Down
Always spray down the machine to clean it before and
after paving. Spray solvent or release agent on any
part of the paver that comes into contact with asphalt to
prevent buildup that will damage the machine over time.
When using solvents and release
agents, DO NOT allow cleaning solvent to run onto
the ground. Only spray down the machine in a
designated area away from the paving site.
Ensure the area is clear of others
and ammable materials before spraying. Allow the
screed to cool at least 10 minutes before spraying to
prevent possible burns from solvent spray on a hot
screed. The screed should be warm, but not hot.
Never spray cleaning solvent or
release agent near the screed heating element or
near open ame. These agents are highly ammable
and can ignite, causing serious personal injury.
• The green citrus tank ller cap is located on the top
right side of the paver. Open the engine cover to
access the citrus ller cap.
• The spray down hose and wand is located on the
right side of the paver. (Figure 4-42)

To operate the spray down system:
1. Open both hopper wings completely and raise the
screed. (Pages 4-36 and 4-42)
2. Extend hose from the hose mount. (Figure 4-42)
3. Push the Spray Down button on the
control panel to turn system ON.
4. Squeeze the wand handle to spray desired areas.
5. Press the Spray Down button again to turn system
off when nished.
NOTE: The spray down function will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes. Press the spray
down button again to restart if needed.
Start at the front of the machine and work rearward, using a
scraper if needed, paying particular attention to:
• Push Rollers: Rotate the rollers while cleaning and
soak bearing ends to maintain free rotation.
• Hopper and Conveyors: Thoroughly clean surfaces
and any material accumulating in chains, drive
sprockets, idler shaft, bearings and tunnel areas.
AFTER cleaning the machine, operate the conveyors
briey to carry solvent into return areas where it can
help dissolve hidden asphalt material.
• Augers: Scrape away any accumulated material
around bearings and clean contact surfaces down to
the metal to avoid quick build-up while paving.
• Screed: Face and bottom plates should be clean and
smooth on the main and screed extensions to achieve
a smooth paving mat.
• Operator Platforms: Be sure to wash away solvent
residue so walk boards and operator platforms do not
become slippery.
