LeeBoy Model 8616 Conveyor Paver 6-17
Operation
Starting To Pave
The paver is capable of placing bituminous base, binder
and surface courses, lime or Portland cement stabilized
sub-base and graded aggregate materials up to a
thickness of 6 inches (20 cm).
This paver has a production rate of approximately 250
tons per hour or greater.
This paver is equipped with electric and manual
thickness controls and an 8 ft to 15 ft (2.4 m to 4.6 m)
wide screed. The paver can handle everything such as
driveways and small parking lots to large parking areas
and secondary roads.
Before starting to pave, keep the following points in
mind:
1. Plan the project so that the narrowest passes are
rst,(thebasicwidthofthepaver)leavingthewidest
pass until last.
2. Make sure to use a reference guideline. This can
be a curb, gutter, adjacent mat or a string line. It is
importantthattherstpassbestraight.Itwillbethe
guideline for the following passes. Use the guide bar
gauges (Figure 6-13, Figure 6-14).

Never run the paver through a pile of mix
that has been dumped in front of the machine. Not only
will this effect the level of the mat being laid but damage
may result.
3. It is the operator’s job to guide the truck up to the
paver and signal the driver when and how much to
dump into the hopper. Truck drivers must maintain
a light pressure on their brakes to keep truck from
dumping material on the roadway.
NOTE: If the paver is equipped with a truck hitch, the
truck driver will not be required to maintain
pressure on the brake.
4. Always pave in low range.
Before starting forward with paver
make certain that no one is in front of the paver.
Avoid low hanging limbs, power lines,
and other foreign objects that can endanger crew or
paver.
