Genie Articulated Boom Lift S-85 XC

- 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

- 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 the Track Tension and Fastener Torque

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 12

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

- 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)
