Genie Articulated Boom Lift Z-60/37 DC

Testing the machine safety envelope is critical to safe machine operation.

Start the engine from the ground controls

Raise the boom to approximately 60°

Extend the boom to more than 80 feet / 24.4 m

Push in the red Emergency Stop button to the off position

Plug in the LSB2RS test jumper between the lower limit switch and the function manifold

Pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position and start the engine

Disconnect the 68° proximity switch LSB14A0 and install a wire jumper between pin 3 and pin 4 of the Deutsch connector

Activate the function enable/high RPM button and extend the boom to 101 feet / 30.8 m

- Inspect the Boom Extend/Retract Cables

Manufacturers specifications require that this procedure be performed by personnel that are competent in cable / wire rope inspection

Note: Additional or more frequent inspections may be required due to the following:

• exposed to hostile or corrosive environmental conditions

The boom extend/retract cables are responsible for the extension and retraction of the 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

- Test the Drive Speed - Stowed Position

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface that is free of obstructions

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine in the stowed position

1. Create start and finish lines by marking two lines on the ground 40 feet / 12.2 m apart

2. Choose a point on the machine (i.e., contact patch of a tire) as a visual reference for use when crossing the start and finish lines

3. Bring the machine to top drive speed before reaching the start line. Begin timing when your reference point on the machine crosses the start line

4. Continue at full speed and note the time when the machine reference point crosses the finish line. Refer to Specifications, Drive Speed Specifications

- Test the Drive Speed - Raised or Extended Position

1. Create start and finish lines by marking two lines on the ground 40 feet / 12.2 m apart

- Check the Extendable Axle - S-100, S-100HD, S-105, S-120, S-120HD and S-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

1. Start the engine from the platform controls and extend the axles

3. Replace any wear pad if it is less than specification. If a wear pad is not less than specification, shim as necessary to obtain minimum clearance and no drag

4. 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

Note: Always maintain squareness between the outer and inner axle tubes

Extendable axle wear pad Wear pad specifications : Minimum 0.4375 inch / 11.11 mm;
