Operation
Starting to Pave
The LeeBoy 8510E Conveyor Paver provides superior
paving for driveways, small to large parking lots,
and secondary roads. It has a production rate of
approximately 250 tons per hour.
This paver is capable of placing a mat thickness of six
inches (20 centimeters) for:
• Bituminous base.
• Binder or surface course.
• Lime or Portland cement-stabilized sub-base.
• Graded aggregate materials.
Operators should be trained to operate the various
machine components along with proper paving
techniques before operating the machine.
Before starting to pave, keep these items in mind:
• Plan the project so you pave the most narrow passes
first (the width of the paver), leaving the widest passes
until last.
• Always pave in low range.
• It is the operator’s job to guide the material truck
back to the hopper and signal the driver when to stop
dumping the asphalt into the hopper.
• Use a reference guide such as a curb, gutter, adjacent
mat or string line.
• It is very important that the first pass be straight as it
will serve as your guideline for the following passes.
NOTE: If paver is equipped with the optional truck
hitch, the truck driver won’t need to maintain
brake pressure.
• Adjust truck push rollers to the appropriate height
needed for asphalt truck.
(Figure 4-49) Use truck
hitch controls if equipped with this option. (Page
4-35)
• There are five (5) set heights on the truck push
rollers.
• Remove bolts on both sides of each push roller,
align with either of the five slots on the frame at
desired height, and reinstall bolts.
• Both push rollers should be at the same height
to prevent damage.
