Generator Speed Tuning
Generator speed tuning should only be
done by an authorized LeeBoy Dealer.
A volt meter set to read frequency (Hz) can be used to
test the speed of the generator. When the paver engine
is at normal operating speed (approximately 1750 to
2000 rpm), the generator should operate at
58 Hz to 62
Hz , or a speed of 3480 rpm to 3720 rpm. If generator
speed drops below 3480 rpm, then voltage output and
performance of the heating system will also decrease
significantly.
The generator should never be allowed
to operate at a speed of 3800 rpm or greater.
Generator damage will occur and may void your
existing warranty. If your speed is above 3800 rpm,
stop the set immediately.
NOTE: The generator and electrical system is designed
to work within the range of 58 Hz to 61 Hz. It does
not need to be set to exactly 60 Hz.
NOTE: When testing the generator speed, make certain
that the paver engine is at full rpm and the
hydraulic temperature is at normal operating
levels.
