COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
This section describes the major components for the
LeeBoy 8608 Commercial Paver. Become familiar
with these components and manual guidelines before
operating the paver.
This rugged paver features the Legend 815 HD screed,
with the ability for variable paving widths from 8 to 15
feet, or the optional HD PRO screed with paving width
from 8 to 15.6 feet. It’s designed and built for producing
superior mat quality in a variety of road construction
projects. Proportional control of augers and conveyors
enhance asphalt material delivery.
Dual Operator PlatformDual Operator Platform
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 main control panel slides to either side of the
platform, featuring the PV485 digital display controller,
work function switches, and a vandalism cover for
security and protection. The operator platform offers
the versatility of a high deck that can be manually
lowered to a low-deck conguration for accommodating
a screed operator while paving. Remote screed control
boxes are mounted on each side for screed operator
convenience.
EngineEngine
A powerful, turbo-
charged 125 HP
engine equipped with
the latest technologies
and advanced
emission systems
boosts optimum
performance and
efciency.
Cooling systems increase water pump ow while robust
lubrication systems produce more ow with higher
pressure.
Accessing the radiator and other engine components
is as simple as pushing a switch to raise and lower the
engine hood. The engine is also accessible through
several access doors, with a front service door where
fuel lter components are located for easy access.
This powerful engine features a remotely-mounted
DOC+DPF+SCR after-treatment package with more
ow, high pressure, enhanced cooling system and
heat reduction. A heat shield for the exhaust manifold
reduces heat radiation to the engine. Bafes and louvers
direct hot air up and away from the operator. Six rib
serpentine belt and pulleys with P-Max fan adds more
air ow through the engine cooling system.
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
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to optimize combustion.
This paver is also equipped with a DEF (Diesel Exhaust
Fluid) tank. Engine optimization runs all functions at
2100 RPMs for fuel-efcient operation.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual accompanying
your paver for additional engine information.
Electrical SystemElectrical System
The battery produces 12 volts DC and maintains 1150
cold cranking amperes (CCA). An engine-mounted
alternator with a minimum of 100 amperes charging
capacity keeps the battery charged during normal
operation.
