Operation
4. The heating cycle will begin, and the HEAT ON
(Figure 6-11,3) indicator light will illuminate.
NOTE: The HEAT ON indicator light (Figure 6-11,3)
will stay on as long as the elements are heating
the screed plates. Once the heating cycle is
complete, the HEAT ON light will go out.
5. If the heat cycle has completed and the screed
plates still require a higher temperature, restart
the system by pressing the START HEAT (Figure
6-11,2) button again. The system will run for the set
time once more.
NOTE: Engine speed automatically decreases to idle
after heat cycle completes.
NOTE: If the heat system is running, and the operator
presses the START HEAT (Figure 6-11,2) button
during a heating cycle, the heat will continue to
operate normally, and the time cycle will re-set
to beginning of the cycle. This will not hurt the
system, and may be useful on cooler days to
make the screed heat system run longer than
normal without stopping.
Once the heating function has been enabled, the
distribution/control box will apply electrical power to the
heating elements and the heating cycle will begin. The
heating cycle is timed to optimize the heat generated at
the screed plates.
NOTE: The factory time setting for the heating cycle
is30minutes.Thiswillbesufcientinmost
circumstances to generate enough heat to
begin the paving process without screed heat
problems.
NOTE: The temperature that the screed plates reach
will depend in part on the outside ambient
temperature.
To help the screed heating system operate most
efciently:
• Raise screed plate approximately 1 to 2 inches off the
ground when just heating screed at start of project.
• Do not raise screed fully, allowing more wind under
the screed plate while heating.
• Set the screed directly on a fresh mat of hot asphalt
while running the heating system, allowing the heat of
the asphalt to help heat the screed plate.
Battery Disconnect Switch
The battery disconnect switch (Figure 6-12,1) is located
in front of the right hand operator station. The switch
disconnects all electrical power to the LeeBoy Model
8616 Conveyor Paver.
Always turn the battery disconnect
switch off at the end of the day or any time machine
is getting welded.
