Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-60 X

- Check the Turntable Rotation Gear Backlash - ALC1000 Models

Properly adjusted turntable rotation gear backlash is essential for good machine performance and service life. Improperly adjusted turntable rotation gear backlash will cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use will cause component damage. The turntable rotation drive hubs are mounted on an adjustable plate on the swing chassis behind the fixed side cover at the ground controls side of the machine

This procedure does not apply to the Z-60/80 models

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine fully stowed and the counterweight at the square end of the machine

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

1. Rotate the turntable until the boom is centered between the circle end wheels

2. Apply approximately 20 lbs / 89 N of side force to the platform, moving the platform to one side as far as it will go

3. Using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the swing hub pinion gear and the turntable rotation bearing at the center tooth on one of the drive hubs. The gap should be measured on one side of the pinion gear on the center tooth

Note: The pinion gear can be accessed on the outside of the chassis under the pinion gear guard

- Check for leaks Oil, fuel and coolant systems

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

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Perform this procedure more often if dusty conditions exist.

Application of lubrication to the platform overload mechanism is essential to safe machine operation.

Continued use of an improperly greased platform overload mechanism could result in the system not sensing an overloaded platform condition and will result in component damage.

This maintenance procedure does not apply to the following models: S-80 XC, S-85 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, Z-45 XC.

Located the grease fittings on each pivot pin of the platform overload assembly?

Thoroughly pumped grease into each grease fitting?

- Test the Dual Capacity and Platform Overload System - Z-45 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%
