Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-60 FE

- 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

Drive hub specifications require that this procedure be performed after the first 50 hours of operation

After the initial oil replacement, specifications require that this procedure be performed every 1000 hours

Replacing the drive hub oil is essential for good machine performance and service life. Failure to replace the drive hub oil may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage

1. Select the drive hub to be serviced. Drive the machine until one of the two plugs is at the lowest point

2. Remove the plugs and drain the oil into a suitable container

3. Drive the machine until one of the two plugs is at the highest point

4. Drive hubs with 2 plugs: Fill the hub until the oil level is even with the bottom of the lowest plug hole. Refer to Specifications, Hydraulic Specifications

- 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 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

- Check for leaks Oil, fuel and coolant systems

- Replace engine oil and filter

- Clean/replace air cleaner element

- Check electrical wiring for chafing or damage
