Genie Articulated Boom Lift Z-45/25 DC

- Test the Key Switches - ALC1000 Models

Proper key switch action and response is essential to safe machine operation. Failure of either key switch to function properly could cause a hazardous operating situation

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

There are two key switches on the machine - the Main key switch and the Bypass/Recovery key switch

The Main key switch controls machine operation from the ground or platform controls

When the Bypass/Recovery key switch is turned to the bypass position, the primary boom can be elevated with the axles retracted (if equipped with retractable axles). This feature of the machine is especially helpful for storage purposes or when loading the machine for transport

When the Bypass/Recovery key switch is turned and held to the recovery position, the emergency power unit turns on and starts a sequence to lower the platform

This feature of the machine is especially helpful if the operator in the platform cannot lower the boom, if the platform controls become inoperative or for returning the machine to a safe position when the safety switches have been tripped

Note: Perform this procedure on a firm, level surface with the machine in the stowed position

- Grease the Platform Overload Mechanism (if equipped)

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

1. Locate the grease fittings on each pivot pin of the platform overload assembly

2. Thoroughly pump grease into each grease fitting

Chevron Ultra-duty grease, EP NLGI 1 (lithium based) or equivalent;

- Test the Fuel Select Operation - Gasoline/LPG Models

Note: Perform this test after checking the gasoline and LPG fuel levels, and warming the engine to normal operating temperature

1. At the platform controls, move the fuel select switch to gasoline and then move the engine idle control switch to foot switch activated high idle (rabbit and foot switch symbol)

2. Start the engine from the platform controls and allow it to run at low idle

3. Press down the foot switch to allow the engine to run at high idle

Result: The engine should start promptly and operate smoothly in low and high idle

4. Release the foot switch and shut the engine off by pushing in the red Emergency Stop button in to the off position

5. Move the fuel select switch to LPG

6. Restart the engine and allow it to run at low idle
