Genie Articulated Boom Lift SX-125

Maintaining the axle wear pads in good condition is essential to safe machine operation. Wear pads are placed on axle tube surfaces to provide a low friction, replaceable wear pad between moving parts. Improperly shimmed wear pads or continued use of worn out wear pads may result in component damage and unsafe operating conditions

Be sure that the axles are fully extended before attempting this procedure

Is the wear pad less than 0.437 inch/1.12 mm?

If a wear pad is not less than specification, shim as necessary to obtain minimum clearance and no drag

If the wear pads are still within specification, refer to Repair Procedure in the appropriate Service and Repair Manual for your machine, How to Shim the Extendable Axles.

If any wear pads are replaced, refer to Repair Procedure in the appropriate Service and Repair Manual for your machine, Grease the Extendable Axles

Extend and retract the axles through the entire range of motion to check for tight spots that may cause binding or scraping of the axle tubes

Always maintain squareness between the outer and inner axle tubes

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

- 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
