Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-45

- Test the Safety Envelope Limit Switches, Z-135/70, ZX-135/70, SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, SX-150 and SX-180 Models

Testing the machine envelope safety limit switches is critical to safe machine operation. If the boom is allowed to operate when a safety switch is not functioning correctly, the machine stability could be compromised and may tip over

Note: Perform this procedure with the boom in the stowed position

Note: Perform this procedure with the axles extended

Note: Two people will be required to perform this procedure

Note: Use the following chart to identify the description of each LCD screen control button used in this procedure

Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 Models:

Secondary Boom #1 Retracted Safety Limit Switch, LSS1RS

1. Working at the platform end of the turntable, support and secure the lower turntable riser end cover to a suitable lifting device

- Test the Drive Speed - Raised or Extended Position, ALC1000 Models

Proper drive function is essential to safe machine operation. The drive function should respond quickly and smoothly to operator control

Drive performance should also be free of hesitation, jerking and unusual noise over the entire proportionally controlled speed range

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface that is free of obstructions

This maintenance procedure applies to the following models: S-100, S-105, S-120, S-125, SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, S-100HD, S-120HD, SX-150, SX-180, 2-80/60, Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70

S-100, S-105, S-120, S-125, SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, S-100HD and S-120HD

1. Create start and finish lines by marking two lines on the ground 40 feet / 12.2 m apart

2. Raise the boom to a horizontal position

3. Extend the primary boom until the envelope alarm and LED are activated

- Check the Safety Envelope Limit Switches and Angle Sensor - S-60X, S-60XC and S-80X

Testing the safety envelope system regularly is essential to safe machine operation. Continued use of an improperly operating safety envelope could result in the system not restricting the range of motion. Machine stability could be compromised resulting in the machine tipping over

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface with all weight, tools and equipment removed from the platform

Note: Start this procedure with the boom fully retracted and in the stowed position

1. Turn the key switch to ground control and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position

2. Start the engine from the ground controls

3. Turn and hold the function enable switch to the restricted maximum platform capacity and raise the primary boom until it is fully elevated

4. Extend the primary boom until it is fully extended

- Test the Safety Envelope and Circuits - S-100, S-105, S-120, S-125, S-100HD and S-120HD

Testing the machine safety envelope is critical to safe machine operation. If the boom is allowed to operate when a safety switch is not functioning correctly, the machine stability is compromised and may tip over

Note: Use the following chart to identify the description of each LCD screen control button used in this procedure

1. Start the engine from the ground controls

2. Raise the boom to approximately 60°

S-100, S-105 and S-100HD Models: Proceed to step 28

101 feet / 30.8 m Length Safety Switch, LSB2RS:

3. Extend the boom to more than 80 feet / 24.4 m

4. Push in the red Emergency Stop button to the off position

- Test Secondary Boom Angle Sensor - Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70

A properly functioning secondary boom angle sensor is essential to safe machine operation. The ECM at the ground controls (TCON) monitors the position and angle of the secondary boom using the signal from the secondary boom angle sensor

The secondary boom angle sensor signal is used to control the ramping of the secondary boom

Note:The turntable level sensor must be tested before starting this procedure. Refer to Maintenance Procedure, Test the Turntable Level Sensor

Note: A digital level will be required to perform this procedure

Note: A kit is available through Genie Product Support (Genie part number 58351). This kit includes a digital level with a magnetic base and cable harnesses

Note: A properly calibrated digital level is essential to proper machine calibration. Refer to the manufactures calibration information

Note: Use the following chart to identify the description of each LCD screen control button used in this procedure

1. Turn the key switch to ground control and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position at both ground and platform controls
