LeeBoy 8616B - Unloading And Loading

UNLOADING AND LOADING
Ensure the transport trailer has the capacity to carry
the paver’s weight. Park the trailer in a clear, level area
when loading or unloading the machine.
ALWAYS position an assistant to be a
ground guide when loading and unloading the paver.
Work slowly and carefully to avoid
accidents. Keep the loading area clear.
Unloading
1. Remove tie-down equipment.
2. Start and warm up engine.
3. Set throttle at half the operating RPMs, but enough
to ensure the hydraulic pump is providing sufcient
ow to operate all functions properly.
4. Set steering control lever so paver moves very
slowly.
5. BEFORE moving the machine, ensure:
• The screed position is UP.
• Auger extensions are removed.
• The extendible screed is IN.
• The cut-off gates below the augers are
CLOSED.
6. Move paver forward down the ramp as shown on
Figure 4-27.
Never move the paver in reverse while
the cut-off gates are open.
DO NOT allow the screed to strike the
ramp as this can damage bearings on the thickness
control screws or welds on the leveling arms. A
longer ramp to reduce the loading angle may be
needed.

Loading
To prevent damage to the
undercarriage and throughout the paver, reduce
traveling speed before the paver tracks come into
contact with loading ramps or any abrupt change
in the surface. The track drive sprocket or other
components can be damaged by excessive shock.
The paver must be loaded screed-end
rst to prevent damage.
1. Move paver to base of ramp. Line up tracks with the
ramp.
2. BEFORE moving the machine, ensure:
• The screed position is UP.
• Auger extensions are removed.
• The extendible screed is IN.
• The cut-off gates below the augers are
CLOSED.
3. Load the paver screed-end rst. Set throttle at half
the operating RPMs.
4. Set steering control lever so paver moves very
slowly onto the ramp.
5. Using the steering control joysticks, SLOWLY guide
paver up the ramp.
6. Position paver in center of trailer.
7. Lower the screed.
8. Shut down the engine.
9. Secure paver to transport using the following tie-
down procedures.
