LeeBoy L600 - General Information; Initial and Daily Inspection

GENERAL INFORMATION
The LeeBoy L300 and L600 Tack Distributors are
equipped with a Honda four-stroke, single-cylinder
engine (or optional Hatz diesel engine) coupled to a
Viking spur gear pump. The pump supplies pressure to
spray the asphalt through the spray wand and spray bar.
A relief valve adjusts this pressure. The system consists
of an asphalt pump, a spray wand, hoses and valves for
asphalt material delivery.
An exhaust stack at the rear of the unit directs burner
exhaust up and away from the operating area. A
discharge valve at the rear of the tank facilitates draining
tank contents.
This section details functions and procedures for
operating the distributor. Always inspect the distributor
unit before use for optimal performance. Repair or
replace any malfunctioning, broken or missing parts
promptly.
ALWAYS block the tires with wheel
chocks on both sides of the tires to prevent the unit
from moving when not hitched to the towing vehicle
or while performing maintenance.
Only authorized personnel who are
properly trained in the operation of the LeeBoy tack
distributor should operate the unit.
DO NOT operate a tack distributor
unit that needs repair or scheduled maintenance.
Make any repairs promptly and perform routine
maintenance at regular intervals. (See Section
5) Even minor damage can result in major system
failure.
DO NOT operate the burner while the
distributor is moving or in transit to the work site.
When cleaning, DO NOT spray the
electrical components with a water-jet or high-
pressure cleaner. ALWAYS wear safety glasses if
cleaning with compressed air. Use only halogen-
free, cold cleaners with a high ash point. NEVER
clean with benzene as it highly ammable and can
generate an explosive gas/air mixture.
If working at night or other low
visibility conditions, equip the unit with special
lighting. Use reective tape on all sides of the unit
and use impact barriers to protect workers from
trafc hazards. Be sure all personnel wear reective
vests when working in these conditions.
RECEIVING THE MACHINE
Although the distributor has been checked thoroughly
by the manufacturer, road hazards or other factors
during transport may result in damage. Should any
damage occur in transit, notify the shipping agent and
your LeeBoy dealer immediately.
Be sure to check the distributor thoroughly before
operating it:
• Check engine oil level.
• Check fuel level.
• Check all spraying components.
• Check for any loose components that could have
occurred in transit. Tighten if needed.
