Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-60

- 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 or Replace 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 or hydraulic filters 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 frequently

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. If the hydraulic oil is not replaced at the 2000 hour inspection, test the oil quarterly. Replace the oil when it fails the test

Note: When removing a hose assembly or fitting, the O-ring (if equipped) on the fitting and/or hose end must be replaced. All connections must be torqued to specification during installation. Refer to Specifications, Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque Specifications

Complete the hydraulic oil testing with an oil distributor

If the hydraulic oil passes testing at the 2000 hour maintenance interval, the oil must be tested every quarter by an oil distributor until the oil fails the test and is replaced

If the hydraulic oil fails testing at the 2000 hour maintenance interval, the oil must be replaced

After the oil has been replaced, continue the scheduled quarterly maintenance inspection

- Check fan belt tension and damage

- Check radiator hoses and clamps

- Check intake manifold for vacuum leaks

- Check radiator hoses and clamps

- Replace engine oil and filter

- 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

- Test the Primary Boom Angle Sensor - SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, SX-150 and SX-180

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

The primary boom angle sensor signal is used to control the ramping of the primary boom, limiting the speed of the primary boom to 2.3 feet / 0.7 meters per second

Note: The turntable level sensor must be tested before starting this procedure. Refer to Maintenance Procedures, 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

Note: Perform this procedure with the booms in the fully stowed position and the axles fully extended
