Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-45 XC

Maintaining the boom wear pads in good condition is essential to safe machine operation. Wear pads are placed on boom tube surfaces to provide a low friction, replaceable wear pad between moving parts. Improperly shimmed wear pads or continued use of extremely worn wear pads may result in component damage and unsafe operating conditions

1. Measure each wear pad. Replace the wear pad once it reaches the minimum allowable thickness. If the wear pad is still within specification, shim as necessary to obtain minimum clearance with zero binding

2. Extend and retract the boom through the entire range of motion to check for tight spots that may cause binding or scraping of the boom

Note: Always maintain squareness between the outer and inner boom tubes

3. Grease the platform end bottom wear pads with a suitable lubricant

SX-150: Grease the #1 and #2 boom tubes

SX-180: Grease the #0 and #1 boom tubes

- Adjust Valve tappet clearance

- Test the Recovery System - ALC-600 Models

A properly functioning recovery system is essential to safe machine operation. The Recovery mode allows the platform to be lowered in the event the operator in the platform is unable to lower the platform using the platform controls, system failure or emergency situations

This maintenance procedure applies to the following models: S-80 XC and S-85 XC

Note: Perform this procedure with all weight, tools, equipment and personnel removed from the platform

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

2. Start the engine and raise the primary boom to the horizontal position and extend it approximately 4 ft / 1.2 m

3. Push in the red Emergency Stop button to the off position to turn the engine off and pull it back out to the on position

4. Press the function enable button and activate the recovery switch

• Result: The auxiliary power unit will turn on and the boom will begin the following recovery sequence

Required maintenance procedures and additional engine information are available in the manufacturer's manuals. Refer to Specifications, Engine Operator and Maintenance Manuals

• Valve clearance - check/adjust

• Bolts, nuts and fasteners - check/tighten

- Inspect Visually of the Hydraulic Oil

Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is essential for good machine performance and service life

Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage

Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes to be performed more often. For hydraulic oil specifications, Refer to Specifications, Hydraulic Specifications

Note: Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may be tested by an oil distributor for specific levels of contamination to verify that changing the oil is necessary

Replace the oil when it fails the test Refer to Maintenance Procedure, Test or Replace the Hydraulic Oil

1. Collect a sample of hydraulic oil and place in a clear container. Visually inspect the hydraulic oil for the following:

1) Color: oil should be a clear, light-honey colored

2) Appearance, oil should be clear and not cloudy or visibly distorts the view through the sight glass or container
