Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-60 HF

- Replace the Hydraulic Filters

Perform this procedure more often if dusty conditions exist

Replacement of the hydraulic filters is essential for good machine performance and service life. A dirty or clogged filter may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require that the filter be replaced more often

Note: There are four types of hydraulic filters: tank return filter, medium pressure filter, high pressure filter and drive motor case drain filter. The quantity and type of filters) may vary by model

Bodily injury hazard. Beware of hot oil. Contact with hot oil may cause severe burns

Note: Perform this procedure with the engine off

Note: The return filter may be mounted in the top of the hydraulic tank (internally) or outside of the tank (externally)

- Grease the Turntable Rotation Bearing and Rotate Gear

Perform this procedure more often if dusty conditions exist and when operating the machine in high temperature environments

Frequent application of lubrication to the turntable bearing and rotate gear is essential to good machine performance and service life. Continued use of an improperly greased bearing and gear will result in component damage

1. Locate the grease fitting for the turntable rotate bearing

2. Pump grease into the turntable rotation bearing. Rotate the turntable in increments of 4 to 5 inches / 10 to 13 cm at a time and repeat this step until the entire bearing has been greased

3. Models with Drive Gear: Apply grease to each tooth of the drive gear, located under the turntable

Models with Worm Drive Gear: Grease each tooth on the outside of the turntable rotation bearing

1. Locate the 2 grease fittings on top of the worm drive housing

- Check the Turntable Rotation Bearing Bolts

Maintaining proper torque on the turntable bearing bolts is essential to safe machine operation

Improper bolt torque could result in an unsafe operating condition and component damage

Note: Access to the upper and lower turntable bearing bolts will vary depending on model

1. S Booms, Z-45 XC and Z-45/25 (J) IC, DC, Bi-Energy: Raise the (primary) boom and place a safety chock on the lift cylinder rod

Carefully lower the boom onto the lift cylinder safety chock OR support the boom assembly with a suitable lifting device

All other Z Booms: Raise the secondary boom and place a safety chock on the lift cylinder rods. Carefully lower the boom onto the lift cylinder safety chock OR support the boom assembly with a suitable lifting device

Crushing hazard. Keep hands away from the cylinder and all moving parts when lowering the boom

- Test the Drive Speed - Stowed Position

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface that is free of obstructions

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine in the stowed position

1. Create start and finish lines by marking two lines on the ground 40 feet / 12.2 m apart

2. Choose a point on the machine (i.e., contact patch of a tire) as a visual reference for use when crossing the start and finish lines

3. Bring the machine to top drive speed before reaching the start line. Begin timing when your reference point on the machine crosses the start line

4. Continue at full speed and note the time when the machine reference point crosses the finish line. Refer to Specifications, Drive Speed Specifications

- Test the Drive Speed - Raised or Extended Position

1. Create start and finish lines by marking two lines on the ground 40 feet / 12.2 m apart

Warning: This procedure requires a properly functioning secondary boom angle sensor for safe machine operation.

Note: The turntable level sensor must be tested before starting this procedure.

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.

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

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.

Start the engine from the ground controls.

Press the plus and minus buttons at the same time on the LCD screen to enter the MACHINE STATUS screen. Press the enter or previous button until SECONDARY BOOM ANGLE is displayed.
