Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-60 FE

- Test the Safety Envelope and Circuits - Z-80/60

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

For limit switch and angle sensor information, Refer to appropriate Service and Repair Manual for your machine

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

Secondary Boom #1 Angle Safety Limit Switch, LSS2AS

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

2. Start the engine from the ground controls

3. Press the (plus)(minus) buttons on the LCD screen to activate status mode

4. Press the enter or previous button on the LCD screen until secondary boom length is displayed

- Test the Dual Capacity and Platform Overload System - SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC and SX-135 XC 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

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. 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

3. Using a suitable lifting device, place a test weight of 600 lbs / 272kg in the center of the platform. Secure the weight to the platform

Note: The test weight may be within -0% / +5%

Result: The unrestricted range of motion indicator light is on at ground controls

- Check Fuel hoses and clamp bands

- 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

- Replace Oil filter cartridge, D1105, WG972

- Grease the Steer Axle Wheel Bearings, All 2WD Models (except S-60, S-65, Z-60 DC/FE and Z-62)

Perform this procedure more often if dusty conditions exist

Maintaining the steer axle wheel bearings is essential for safe machine operation and service life. Operating the machine with loose or worn wheel bearings may cause an unsafe operating condition and continued use may result in component damage. Extremely wet or dirty conditions or regular steam cleaning and pressure washing of the machine may require that this procedure be performed more often

1. Loosen the wheel lug nuts. Do not remove them

2. Block the non-steer wheels, then center a lifting jack under the steer axle

3. Raise the machine 6 inches / 15 cm and place blocks under the drive chassis for support

4. Remove the lug nuts. Remove the tire and wheel assembly

5. Check for wheel bearing wear by attempting to move the wheel hub side to side, then up and down

• Result: There should be no side to side or up and down movement

- 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
