Genie Articulated Boom Lift S85

Required maintenance procedures and additional engine information are available in the manufacturer's manuals. Refer to Specifications, Engine Operator and Maintenance Manuals

- 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

- 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-1000 Models

This maintenance procedure applies to the following models: S-100, S-105, S-120, S-125, S-100HD, S-120HD, SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, SX-150, SX-180, Z-80/60, Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface with the axles extended

Note: Perform this procedure with all weight, tools, equipment and personnel removed from the platform

Note: If any boom safety limit switches are faulty, the primary boom will only retract and not lower

1. Turn the key switch to the ground control and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position. Start the engine

2. Fully raise the secondary boom then extend it approximately 4 ft / 1.2 m

Bodily injury hazard. Do not inspect while the engine is running. Remove the key to secure from operation

Burn hazard. Beware of hot engine components. Contact with hot engine components may result in severe burns

1. Be sure that all nuts and bolts are tight

2. Inspect all welds for cracks

3. Inspect for exhaust leaks; i.e., carbon buildup around seams and joints;
