Leeboy 700 PAVER Operators Manual

I have seen one too many pavers sidelined because somebody thought they could skip the factory procedure and just “figure it out.” That costs you a shift, burns diesel, and often results in a bent screed or a blown hydraulic line. If you are running a Leeboy 700 PAVER, you need the document that came off the same press as the machine’s build sheet – the Operators Manual. This is not a reprint or a third-party summary. It is 84 pages of LeeBoy’s own instructions, safety warnings, and maintenance intervals. I keep a copy in the shop and one in the crew cab. No excuses.

Safety Precautions and General Information

Every section in this manual starts with safety. The pre-start inspection list on page 7 is the same one LeeBoy expects its own field techs to follow. It covers fluid levels, decal condition, and hydraulic cutoff function. If you ignore the stopping safety notes – like keeping hands clear of the auger while the engine is running – you will learn the hard way. The manual also includes the California Proposition 65 warning for diesel exhaust. Do not think that just because you have run a paver for ten years you can skip this part.

Starting and Stopping the Engine: Factory Procedure

This is where the manual pays for itself. The “Starting the Engine – Preliminary” section walks through the exact sequence for the Deutz 1011 engine. Cold start? It tells you how long to preheat. Shutdown? It specifies the idle-cool-down period before killing the ignition. I have watched operators rush this and warp a turbo. The Operators Manual gives you the numbers – no guesswork.

Routine Maintenance: 10-Hour Through 1000-Hour Schedules

There is a reason LeeBoy breaks maintenance into six intervals. The 10-hour daily check includes greasing the screed pivots and checking the hydraulic oil level. The 250-hour quarterly list tells you to replace the fuel filter and inspect the track tension. At 1000 hours, you are looking at engine valve lash adjustment and a full hydraulic filter change. Every interval has a specific torque value for the drain plugs and filter housings. That information is not in the aftermarket books. It is on pages 34 through 42 of this factory document.

Troubleshooting Guide and Lubrication Chart

The troubleshooting guide in the back covers the common failures: screed not heating, auger not turning, erratic propulsion. Each symptom has a cause and a fix that references the exact component. The lubrication chart lists every zerk fitting, the grease type, and the frequency. If you rely on memory alone, you will miss a pivot point and wear out a bushing inside a week. This chart prevents that.

Leeboy 700 PAVER Operators Manual: Engine and Hydraulic Diagrams

The wiring diagrams at the back are OEM originals – the automatic auger circuit, the Deutz 1011 engine harness, the electric flight screw, and the full hydraulic schematic. When a paver’s electric spraydown stops working, you trace it from the diagram. Do not trust a generic wiring color code. LeeBoy used specific wire numbers and connector pinouts. These diagrams are the same ones the factory uses at the assembly line. For general background on how a manual transmission works, see Manual Transmission. For additional drive system theory, Manual Transmission is a decent reference, but the real data is in this manual.

If you need other LeeBoy manuals for different models, check the related documents: Leeboy SPR-H 2002 Operators Manual – OEM Factory PDF, Leeboy L150, L250, L500 Operators Manual – OEM Factory Specs, and Leeboy 400 Operators Manual – OEM Factory Specs for Vibratory Roller. Each one is a direct factory scan, not a copied job.

Does this manual cover the Deutz 1011 engine?

Yes. The manual includes a dedicated wiring diagram for the Deutz 1011 and all engine-related procedures.

Will this work for both the 8-foot and 9-foot screed versions?

The manual was written for the 700 Paver with both 8-foot and 9-foot screed options. It covers the screed adjustment and crown control procedures that apply to both widths. The parts illustrations show the extension parts for the 9-foot configuration. If you ever need to swap the auger extensions or adjust the track tension, the steps are identical regardless of screed length. The only difference is in the optional parts list, which is clearly marked. So yes, one manual handles both setups.
