joystick farther forward than the left joystick. The
farther the joystick is pushed, the more the paver
turns. Slow and easy adjustments are required for
safe operation.
• To steer the unit to the right, SLOWLY push the left
joystick farther forward than the right joystick. The
farther the joystick is pushed, the more the paver
turns. Slow and easy adjustments are required for
safe operation.
NOTE: If the joysticks are in the forward position
and the Run/Stop switch is set to the STOP
position, the system will time-out after 10
minutes. You must put joysticks back into
neutral and toggle the Run/Stop switch from
RUN to STOP and back to RUN again to regain
control.
NOTE: If equipped with the optional steering wheel
control box: If the joystick steering function is
not being used, the Run/Stop switch must be
in the OFF position.
Stopping the Engine
1. Place joysticks to the neutral position.
2. Throttle back to idle using settings on the digital
display screen.
3. Turn ignition key on the instrument panel
counterclockwise to the OFF position and remove
key.

turned to OFF, press the E-Stop button on the
control panel to terminate power.
Before leaving the operator platform,
the operator must return joysticks to the neutral
position and switch the Run/Stop (on the Steering
and Speed Control Box) to the STOP position.
Paver Operation
Spray DownSpray Down
Always spray down the LeeBoy Model 8515E Conveyor
Paver before and after paving. It is important to pay
particular attention to spraying any part of the paver
that comes into contact with asphalt with solvent or
release agent to prevent buildup that will damage the
machine over time. Abrasive materials accumulating in
sprockets, bearings, augers and conveyor components
will accelerate wear and can produce tears in the paving
mat if cold material breaks off and passes under the
screed. The citrus tank (with green cap) is located on
the main screed at the back of the paver.
When using solvents and release
agents, consider the environment and DO NOT allow
cleaning solvent to run onto the ground. Only spray
down the machine in a designated area away from
the paving site.
There is a spray down system on both sides. The
spray wand is conveniently located on each side of the
operator’s stations. (Figure 4-39) The left hose reel
is located inside the engine access panel and the right
hose reel is located on top of the paver.

• Ensure the area is clear of others before spraying.
• Open the hopper wings and raise the screed.
• 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.
