Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-45

- Test the Key Switches - ALC1000 Models

Proper key switch action and response is essential to safe machine operation. Failure of either key switch to function properly could cause a hazardous operating situation

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

There are two key switches on the machine - the Main key switch and the Bypass/Recovery key switch

The Main key switch controls machine operation from the ground or platform controls

When the Bypass/Recovery key switch is turned to the bypass position, the primary boom can be elevated with the axles retracted (if equipped with retractable axles). This feature of the machine is especially helpful for storage purposes or when loading the machine for transport

When the Bypass/Recovery key switch is turned and held to the recovery position, the emergency power unit turns on and starts a sequence to lower the platform

This feature of the machine is especially helpful if the operator in the platform cannot lower the boom, if the platform controls become inoperative or for returning the machine to a safe position when the safety switches have been tripped

Note: Perform this procedure on a firm, level surface with the machine in the stowed position

- 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

- Grease the Extendable Axles - S-100, S-105, S-120, S-125, S100HD and S-120HD

Manufacturer specifications require that this procedure be performed every 50 hours

Lubricating the front and rear axles helps to ensure the smooth operation of the axles over the lifetime of the product; Two fittings on each axle are provided to apply grease the top and bottom sliding wear pads

1. Locate the grease fittings on the extendable axles covers

2. Thoroughly pump grease into each grease fitting. When grease is pumped into each fitting, a hose directs this lubrication to the top or bottom wear pad

3. Cycle the extending axles in and out

Note: Genie recommends that the extending axles be cycled in and out at least once a week;

- Clean/Adjust/Replace Spark plugs

- Tighten/Replace Loose or missing fasteners

- Check the Generator Belts, Pulleys and Voltage - Bi-Energy Models

Bodily injury hazard. Do not inspect while the engine is running. Remove the key to secure from operation

Bodily injury hazard. Beware of hot engine components

Contact with hot engine components may cause severe burns

Note: Charging the batteries with the engine does not fully charge the batteries. Periodically, use the AC battery charger to fully charge the batteries

1. Be sure that all fasteners and cables on the generator are tight

2. Remove the engine flywheel cover mounting fasteners, then remove the cover
