Maintenance
When connecting a booster battery, connect one end
of the rst jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery. Connect one end of the
second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to the frame of the
paver with the dead battery.
The alternator supplies electrical current for charging
the battery and ample electrical power to the electronic
controls. The built-in regulator in the alternator controls
the voltage output. If for any reason the wires must be
disconnected from the alternator, mark them so that
they can be reconnected properly. Use the following
precautions to prevent damage to the alternator and/or
regulator:
1. An alternator is never to be polarized. Never ground
any alternator terminals or circuits.
2. Always disconnect the battery before disconnecting
or connecting the alternator. Never disconnect the
alternator with it operating. Be certain the wiring is
properly connected before connecting the battery.
3. Always connect a booster battery in the proper
polarity: negative (-) to negative (-) and positive (+) to
positive (+).
When nished using the paver at the
end of the day, ALWAYS turn the DISCONNECT
switch to the OFF position. This will eliminate the
possibility of re due to battery or cable shorting.
Always turn the master battery switch
off when working on the electrical system or welding
on the LeeBoy Model 8616 Conveyor Paver. Damage
to electrical components could result.
2. Before connecting the batteries, turn off the master
switch, located underneath the main dash panel.
3. Be certain that the terminals and battery posts
are thoroughly cleaned and that the battery cable
terminals are tight.
4. Keep the battery clean by washing it off whenever
dirt build-up is excessive.
5. If corrosion is present around terminal connections,
remove them and wash with ammonia solution or
a solution consisting of 1/4 lb. (0.11 kg) baking soda
added to one quart of warm water.
6. Make certain the vent caps are tight to prevent
solution from entering the cells.
7. After cleaning, pour clean water over the battery and
surrounding area to wash the solution away.
8. Check vent cap breather openings to make sure
they are open.
Dirty or loose connections can create
high electrical resistance and permit arcing.
NOTE: The electrical system is a 12-volt negative
ground system. Connect the positive (+) cable
to the positive (+) post of the battery. Connect
the ground cable to the negative (-) post of the
battery. It is advisable to disconnect the negative
(-) cable rst and connect it last. Reversed
polarity can damage the electrical system.
Fire and Explosion Hazard! Be sure
that the battery charger is in the OFF position before
connecting it to the battery.
Be sure to keep the battery fully charged during cold
weather to keep it from freezing. Freezing weather has
little effect on a fully charged battery.
Fire and Explosion Hazard! Always
observe battery polarity when connecting a battery
charger or jumper cables to the battery: negative (-)
to negative (-), positive (+) to positive (+). Failure to
do so could produce sparks.
