LeeBoy 8515D Conveyor Paver 4-3
Operation
General Information
The LeeBoy Model 8515D Conveyor Paver is equipped
with steel hydrostatic-driven tracks that propel the
paver using friction-controlled joysticks. Each track is
powered by a single-speed motor directly coupled to
torque hubs. Standard LeeBoy hydrostatic controls
provide travel direction and steering capabilities from
either side of the paver. An optional steering wheel is
also available.
The two joysticks control the speed and direction of the
paver in conjunction with the machine speed setting.
The amount of steering is controlled by the amount of
joystick movement and the speed of the paver. As the
paver speed increases, steering will be reduced.
The two conveyors are the widest in the industry to
deliver asphalt more evenly and efciently to produce
a smooth asphalt mat. Two propane burners on the
main screed and a burner on each hydraulic screed
extension provide seamless mats at paving widths up
to 15 (4.6 m) feet. Electric screed heat is an additional
option. Cut-off gates under the auger offers the
operator precise control while paving and minimizes
clean-up at the end of pulls.
Read this manual carefully before operating the
machine. Only authorized personnel who are
properly trained should operate the LeeBoy Model
8515D Conveyor Paver.
