General Information
The following engine maintenance information will cover
the engine general maintenance procedures most often
required.
For additional, very specic, engine maintenance
information, see the current engine manual.
Engine Lubrication Oil - Kubota
Checking Engine Lubrication Oil Level
The engine lubrication oil must be kept at a level above
the “ADD” mark, but not above the “FULL” mark, on the
engine lubrication oil dipstick.
To accurately check the engine lubrication oil level:
1. Park the LeeBoy Model 8510B Conveyor Paver in a
“level” position and stop the engine.
2. Clean the area around the engine lubrication oil
dipstick before removing the dipstick from the
engine.
Stop the engine before checking the
engine lubrication oil level. With the engine running,
hot oil can be thrown causing serious injury.
3. Wait ve minutes, after engine shutdown, before
removing the dipstick from the engine and checking
the oil level.
NOTE: The above procedure will help to remove the
possibility of lling the engine with too much
lubrication oil, by allowing the oil to return to the
oil pan.

Make certain the vent caps are tight to prevent solution
from entering the cells. After cleaning, pour clean water
over the battery and surrounding area to wash the
solution away. Check vent cap breather openings to
make sure they are open.
Fire and Explosion Hazard! Be sure
that the battery charger is in the OFF position before
connecting it to the battery.
Be sure to keep the battery fully charged during cold
weather to keep it from freezing. Freezing weather has
little effect on a fully charged battery.
When connecting a booster battery, connect one end
of the rst jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery. Connect one end of the
second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to the frame of the
paver with the dead battery.
The alternator supplies electrical current for charging
the battery and ample electrical power to the electronic
controls. The built-in regulator in the alternator controls
the voltage output. If for any reason the wires must be
disconnected from the alternator, mark them so that
they can be reconnected properly. Use the following
precautions to prevent damage to the alternator and/or
regulator:
1. An alternator is never to be polarized. Never ground
any alternator terminals or circuits.
Fire and Explosion Hazard! Always
observe battery polarity when connecting a battery
charger or jumper cables to the battery: negative (-)
to negative (-), positive (+) to positive (+). Failure to
do so could produce sparks.
2. Always disconnect the battery before disconnecting
or connecting the alternator. Never disconnect the
alternator with it operating. Be certain the wiring is
properly connected before connecting the battery.
3. Always connect a booster battery in the proper
polarity: negative (-) to negative (-) and positive (+) to
positive (+).
When nished using the paver at the
end of the day, ALWAYS turn the DISCONNECT
switch to the “OFF” position. This will eliminate the
possibility of re due to battery or cable shorting.
