Pre-Start Inspection and
Preparation
To prevent costly down time, the LeeBoy Model 8616
Conveyor Paver should be checked thoroughly before
each use. Use the list below to assist in checking out the
paver.
1. Inspect paver. Have any malfunctioning, broken or
missing parts repaired or replaced before using,
including:
 •Hydraulichoses/ttings
 •Pumps
 •Motors
 •Electricalwiresandconnections
 •Steps,supportsandcovers
2. Check engine oil (refer to current engine operator’s
manual), hydraulic oil, torque hub oil and diesel fuel.
3. Check the engine safety switch (the engine should
onlystartwhenalljoysticksFORWARD/REVERSE
levers are in the NEUTRAL position (Figure
6-8,1,2).
4. Check all electrical functions before distributing
asphalt.
5. Ensure operator’s area is free of debris.
6. Ensure that all the instruction and safety labels are
in place and readable. These are as important as
any other equipment on the paver.
7. Read and follow all instruction and safety labels.
8. Ensure all covers and guards are in place.
9. Wear OSHA required safety equipment when
running the paver.
10. Ensure paver is properly lubricated (see
Lubrication Chart in Section 7).

is running or when screed heat is on.
12. Clear auger and conveyors before starting engine.
13. Spray cleaning solvent or release agent on any part
of the paver that comes in contact with asphalt.
Starting The Engine
Preliminary
1. Check fuel level, fuel lines, and tank for leaks.
2. Check crankcase oil level.
Failure to maintain correct engine oil
level is the greatest single cause of engine failures.
3. Check hydraulic oil level in hydraulic oil tank sight
gauge.
4. Make sure all joysticks (Figure 6-8,1,2) are in
neutral position.
5. Refer to engine operator’s manual for instructions
whenstartingengineforthersttime.Followengine
manufacturer’s recommendations for fuel and oil.
Engine Start-Up
NOTE: Joysticks must be in neutral position to start
engine.
1. Position joysticks (Figure 6-8,1,2) to neutral.
2. Insert key into the ignition switch on instrument
panel and turn key clockwise (CW) to start position.
Do not operate the starter longer than
10-15 seconds. If the engine does not start, allow the
starter to cool 2-3 minutes.
The use of starting additives, such as
ether, is not recommended. Severe engine damage
will occur.
NOTE: Allow engine to warm up for several minutes
before moving paver. The warm up will give the
hydraulic oil time to warm, providing for more
efcientoperation.Incoldweatherlethydraulic
oilwarmto50°F(10°C)or60°F(16°C)before
moving.
3. Set engine RPM using the throttle up and down
buttons by pressing ENGINE Screen Button 7
or PAVER Screen Button 7 (throttle up) and/ or
ENGINE Screen Button 8 or PAVER Screen Button
8 (throttle down) located on the right side of the
display screen. Engine RPM will automatically
increase to 1800 RPM when conveyor and/or
augers are turned on.
NOTE: When generator is turned on, engine RPM will
automatically go to 1400 RPM unless augers
and/or conveyors are on, then engine will remain
at 1800 RPM.
