LeeBoy 8616B, Operation, Service And Parts Manual

Page: 54 / 287

GENERAL INFORMATION
The LeeBoy Model 8616B Conveyor Paver is equipped
with hydrostatic-driven tracks that propel the paver
using friction-controlled joysticks. The two joysticks
control the speed and direction of the paver in
conjunction with the machine speed setting. Ramping
for acceleration and deceleration are proportional to the
movement of the joysticks.
(Page 3-5)
The propel system utilizes a dual path proportional
system to control the tracks. In low speed, the inside
track counter-rotates.
Steering the tracks is controlled by a hydraulic
proportional pump. The amount of steering is controlled
by the amount of joystick movement and the speed of
the paver. As the paver speed increases, steering will
be reduced.
Engine RPM is set manually by using the throttle up
and throttle down buttons located on the DP700 digital
display unit on the operator control panel. Always set
throttle before starting to pave.
The engine RPM automatically increases to 1800 RPM
when the conveyor or augers are engaged.
If the joysticks are set to the neutral position for 10
seconds, the engine will idle. When the joysticks are
taken out of neutral, the engine immediately returns to
the last set RPM.
Only authorized personnel who are
properly trained should operate the LeeBoy Model
8616B Conveyor Paver.
