Genie Articulated Boom Lift Z40N08-675

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Perform this procedure with the boom fully retracted and in the stowed position and with the machine on a firm, level surface

Check the Jib Rotator Fastener torque

Confirm that each jib rotator outer mounting bolt is torqued in sequence to specification

Repeat the procedure for the inner mounting bolts

Jib boom rotate bearing bolts: 200 ft-Ibs/ 271 Nm

While rotating the jib, pump grease into each bearing lubricating grease fitting until fresh grease is visible at the outer seal

While rotating the jib, pump grease into the worm gear grease fitting until fresh grease is visible at one sealing lip or bearing cap

Place a 750 lb / 340 kg weight in the platform and raise the jib until it is horizontal and parallel with the boom

- Test the Primary Boom Angle Sensor - SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, SX-135 XC, SX-150 and SX-180

A properly functioning primary boom angle sensor is essential to safe machine operation. The ECM at the ground controls (TCON) monitors the position and angle of the primary boom using the signal from the primary boom angle sensor

The primary boom angle sensor signal is used to control the ramping of the primary boom, limiting the speed of the primary boom to 2.3 feet / 0.7 meters per second

Note: The turntable level sensor must be tested before starting this procedure. Refer to Maintenance Procedures, Test the Turntable Level Sensor

Note: A digital level will be required to perform this procedure

Note: A kit is available through Genie Product Support (Genie part number 58351). This kit includes a digital level with a magnetic base and cable harnesses

Note: A properly calibrated digital level is essential to proper machine calibration. Refer to the manufactures calibration information

Note: Use the following chart to identify the description of each LCD screen control button used in this procedure

Note: Perform this procedure with the booms in the fully stowed position and the axles fully extended

Clean/Adjust/Replace Spark plugs

Tighten/Replace Loose or missing fasteners

Visual inspection of hydraulic oil color (should be a clear, light-honey color)

Visual inspection of hydraulic oil appearance (should be clear and not cloudy or visibly distorts the view through the sight glass or container)

Visual inspection of hydraulic oil contamination (should contain no particles, foreign objects, or other contamination)

Smell test of hydraulic oil (can smell 'hot' but not 'burnt')

Feel test of hydraulic oil (should feel viscous and free of any rough feel due to particles)

If the hydraulic oil fails any of the above inspections, the hydraulic oil must be tested by an oil distributor or replaced

If the hydraulic oil was not replaced at or before 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

After the oil has been replaced, continue the scheduled quarterly maintenance inspection

Warning: This test requires trained personnel with PPE!

Is the key switch turned to platform control?

Is the red Emergency Stop button in the on position at both the ground and platform controls?

Is the engine started from the platform controls (for engine powered models)?

Does pressing down on the operator protection activation strip not trigger any alarm or flashing beacon?

Does activating the foot switch and pressing down on the operator protection activation bar for longer than 0.4 seconds trigger an intermittent audible alarm and flashing beacon?

Does the engine shut down and boom functions get disabled (for engine models)?

Does a continuous audible alarm sound after 10 seconds?

Does pressing the reset button turn off the audible alarm and flashing beacon?
