Starting to Pave
The LeeBoy 6150 Conveyor Paver provides superior
paving for driveways, small to large parking lots, and
secondary roads. The paver is equipped with electric
and manual thickness controls, and can be operated
from either side of the operator platform. It has a
production rate of approximately 250 tons per hour.
This paver is capable of placing a mat thickness of six
inches (20 centimeters) for:
• Bituminous base.
• Binder or surface course.
• Lime or Portland cement-stabilized sub-base.
• Graded aggregate materials.
Operators should be trained to operate the various
machine components along with proper paving
techniques before operating the machine.
Avoid low limbs, power lines, and
other objects that can endanger crew or paver.
Before starting to pave, keep these items in mind:
• Plan the project so you pave the most narrow
passes rst (the width of the paver), leaving the
widest passes until last.
• Always pave in low range.
• It is the operator’s job to guide the material truck
back to the hopper and signal the driver when to
stop dumping the asphalt into the hopper. The
driver must maintain a light pressure on the brakes
to prevent the truck from dumping asphalt onto the
ground.
NOTE: If paver is equipped with the optional truck
hitch, the truck driver will not be required to
maintain brake pressure. (Page 4-35)
• Adjust truck push rollers to the appropriate height
needed for asphalt truck. (Figure 4-52) Use truck
hitch controls if equipped with this option. (Page
4-32)
• There are ve (5) set heights on the truck push
rollers.
• Remove bolts on both sides of each push roller,
align with either of the ve slots on the frame at
desired height, and reinstall bolts.
• Both push rollers should be at the same height
to prevent damage.

• Use a reference guide such as a curb, gutter,
adjacent mat or string line.
• It is very important that the rst pass be straight as it
will serve as your guideline for the following passes.
• Extend the upper and lower guide bar gauges to
further assist you in paving a straight line from the
operator’s station. (Figure 4-62)
