Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-45 HF

- Check the Track Tension and Fastener Torque, TRAX Models - S-40 and S-45 Models

Maintaining proper track tension and properly torqued fasteners is essential to good machine performance and service life; The machine will not operate properly with a track that is incorrectly tensioned. Continued use of a machine with incorrectly tensioned tracks may cause component damage

1. Thoroughly clean the track assembly of any dirt, rocks, clay, etc.

2. Chock the tracks at one end of the machine to prevent the machine from rolling

3. Center a lifting jack of ample capacity (20,000 Ibs / 10,000 kg) under the drive chassis between the tracks at the other end of the machine

4. Lift the machine until the tracks are off the ground and then place jack stands under the drive chassis for support

5. Visually inspect the section of track under the bogey wheels

Result: There should be less than 1 inch / 2.5 cm of gap between the bogey wheels and the inside surface of the track. Proceed to step 7

Result: There is 1 inch / 2.5 cm or more of gap between the bogey wheels and the inside surface of the track. Proceed to step 6

- Check Fan belt tension and damage

- Check Battery electrolyte level

- Clean Air cleaner element (Replace the element after 6 times cleaning)

- Clean Fuel filter (element type)

- Replace Oil filter cartridge, Z482

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel. Perform this procedure with the boom fully retracted and in the stowed position and with the machine on a firm, level surface.

Remove all weight, tools, accessories and equipment from the platform

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

Place a test weight of 600 lbs / 272kg in the center of the platform using a suitable lifting device

Start the engine and extend the primary boom

Add an additional 100 lbs / 45kg to the platform

Add an additional 320 lbs / 145kg to the platform

Using a suitable lifting device, remove all test weights from the platform

Warning: This procedure requires two trained personnel. Perform this procedure with the boom in the stowed position and the axles extended.

Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 Models: Secondary Boom #1 Retracted Safety Limit Switch, LSS1RS

Lower turntable riser end cover properly supported and secured to a suitable lifting device

Upper turntable riser end cover properly supported and secured to a suitable lifting device

Secondary boom #1 retracted safety limit switch (LSS1RS) located inside the secondary boom tube

Engine started from the ground controls and secondary boom fully raised

Deutsch connector to LSS1RS disconnected and multimeter leads connected to pins 1 and 2 at the Deutsch connector of the limit switch cable

Limit switch does not have continuity

Deutsch connector reconnected to the limit switch and secondary boom extended while visually inspecting the roller arm of the limit switch

- Test the Platform Overload System - All Models (if equipped), Except ALC1000, S-60HC, S-80XC, S-85XC and Z-45XC Models

Genie specifications require that this procedure be performed annually OR when the machine fails to lift the maximum rated load

Testing the platform overload system regularly is essential to safe machine operation. Continued use of an improperly operating platform overload system could result in the system not sensing an overloaded platform condition. Machine stability could be compromised resulting in the machine tipping over

This maintenance procedure applies to the following models: S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, S-85, Z-45/25 (J), Z-51/30J, Z-30/20N (RJ), Z-34/22, Z-34/22 (N), Z-34/22 IC, Z-40/23N (RJ), Z-45/25 (J) DC, 2-45/25 (J) Bi-Energy, Z-60 DC/FE, Z-62/40 and models equipped with the 340 kg capacity option

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

1. Remove all weight, tools, accessories and equipment from the platform

Note: Failure to remove all weight, tools and accessories from the platform will result in an inaccurate test

2 Engine Models: Turn the key switch to ground control and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position at both the ground and platform controls. Start the engine from the ground controls and level the platform. Do not turn the engine off

DC Models: Turn the key switch to ground controls and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position at both the ground and platform controls. Level the platform
