Component Location
EngineEngine
The LeeBoy Model 8515E Conveyor Paver is equipped
with a Kubota V3800-TIE4F, 74 HP diesel engine--a
strong performer with the latest technology. The engine
is accessible through several access doors, with a front
service door where fuel lter components are located
for easier access.
This electronically-controlled engine offers the latest in
innovative emission solutions that comply with stringent
regulations (EPA/CARB Tier 4 and EU Stage IIIB) for
exhaust after-treatment that optimizes combustion. This
Tier 4 Final fuel-efcient engine complies with emission
requirements established by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce diesel particulate
matter (DPM) and other toxins released into the air.
Advanced emission-control devices and low-sulfur fuel
requirements--only Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) can
be used in these engines--combine with after-treatment
methods such as Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
The air cleaner removes ne particles such as dust,
sand, chaff and lint from the air. As air is taken into the
air cleaner assembly, the cyclone action deposits some
of the ne particles in the evacuator that is mounted
on the bottom of the air cleaner housing. The fuel lter
removes contaminants from diesel fuel before it ows
into the injection pump where it is injected into the
engine combustion chamber.
The radiator mounted in front of the engine cools the
engine. As coolant ows through the radiator, airow
from the engine-driven fan removes heat.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual accompanying
your paver for additional engine information.
Track SystemTrack System
The paver drive system contains two heavy-duty torque
hubs that propel the hydrostatically-powered, self-
cleaning tracks with self-adjusting front idlers. Two-
speed motors power tough planetary drives for smooth
operation.
Components Overview
This section describes the major components for the
LeeBoy 8515E Conveyor Paver. Become familiar with
these components before operating the machine.
Dual Operator PlatformsDual Operator Platforms
The dual operator platforms allow easy and convenient
access for controls of most paver functions. The paver
can be operated from the left or right side, depending
upon which control panel side is active and best suited
to the working conditions. The control panel slides to
either side. Controls can also be lowered to operate
as a low deck or the high deck option with an assistant
standing on the screed walkboard.
