Maintenance
Engine Maintenance
The LeeBoy 8515D Conveyor Paver features the
latest in engine technology. Tier 4 engines comply
with emission requirements established by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce diesel
particulate matter (DPM) and other toxins released into
the air. As part of the Clean Air Rules of 2004, the EPA
requires engine manufacturers to integrate controls into
systems that reduce exhaust emissions by 90 percent.
Advanced emission-control devices and low-sulfur fuel
requirements--only Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) can
be used in these engines--combine with new after-
treatment methods such as Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). These
general maintenance procedures are most often
required for the engine. Refer to the Engine Operator’s
Manual for more specific maintenance information and
procedures.
You can access the engine and other components via
the access panel in the hopper
(Figure 5-13) or via
the operator platform. Some components can also be
reached from either side of the machine.

Check Engine Lubrication Oil
The engine lubrication oil must be kept at a level above
the ADD mark, but not above the FULL mark, on the
engine lubrication oil dipstick.
(Figure 5-14)
DO NOT check the oil while the
engine running. Hot oil can spew and cause serious
personal injury.

To check the engine lubrication oil level:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn off the
engine.
2. Wait five minutes to allow the oil to return to the oil
pan so you can obtain an accurate measurement of
the engine oil level.
3. Clean the area around the engine oil dipstick before
removing it from the engine.
4. Remove the dipstick from the engine and checking
the oil level. The oil level should be above the
ADD mark--but not above the FULL mark--on the
dipstick.
5. Add oil if needed.
