Genie Articulated Boom Lift Z-45/25 RT 2WD

- Test the Operator Protection Alarm (if equipped)

Testing the operator protection alarm (OPA) is important for proper operation

1. Turn the key switch to platform control and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position at both the ground and platform controls

2. Start the engine from the platform controls

3. Do not activate the foot switch. Press down on the operator protection activation strip

• Result: There is no audible alarm or flashing beacon. The engine does not shut down (engine models)

4. Activate the foot switch. Press down on the operator protection activation bar for longer than 0.4 seconds and release

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

• Valve clearance - check/adjust

• Bolts, nuts and fasteners - check/tighten

- 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%

- Test the Engine Idle Select Operation - Engine Models

Low idle (turtle symbol) allows the operator to control individual boom functions. Drive functions will operate at low idle on most models, but at reduced performance

High idle (rabbit symbol) should be used for normal machine operation

S-80 XC, S-85 XC, 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 2x-135/70 Models:

1. Turn the key switch to ground controls

2. Pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position at both the ground and platform controls

3. Start the engine from the ground controls

4. Push and release the rpm select button until high rpm is selected (rabbit symbol)

• Result: The engine should change to high idle

Drive hub specifications require that this procedure be performed after the first 50 hours of operation

After the initial oil replacement, specifications require that this procedure be performed every 1000 hours

Replacing the drive hub oil is essential for good machine performance and service life. Failure to replace the drive hub oil may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage

1. Select the drive hub to be serviced. Drive the machine until one of the two plugs is at the lowest point

2. Remove the plugs and drain the oil into a suitable container

3. Drive the machine until one of the two plugs is at the highest point

4. Drive hubs with 2 plugs: Fill the hub until the oil level is even with the bottom of the lowest plug hole. Refer to Specifications, Hydraulic Specifications
