Genie Compact Telehandler GTH-1256

Warning: Beware of hot oil. Contact with hot oil may cause severe burns.

Note: Perform this procedure with the engine off.

Located the hydraulic tank return filter?

Released the pressure in the oil reservoir by loosening the filler/breather cap?

Installed the new filter element?

Tightened the filler/breather cap?

Record the hours the filter element was replaced

Inspect and Lubricate the Sequencing Chains - GTH-636, GTH-1256, GTH-1544, GTH-844 and GTH-1056

Genie specifications require that this procedure be performed quarterly

In extremely dusty or hostile environments, it may be necessary to lubricate the chains more often

Maintaining the sequencing chains in good condition is essential to safe operation and good machine performance

Failure to detect damage to the chains could result in a hazardous operating condition

Environments in which Genie Telehandlers operate can vary widely from outdoor moisture and temperature extremes to mildly corrosive or highly corrosive industrial atmospheres, in addition to abrasive exposures such as sand and grit

Dynamic shock loading can impose abnormal loads above the endurance limit of the chains

Examples of dynamic shock loading are:

High velocity movement of load followed by sudden abrupt stops

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Genie specifications require that this procedure be performed quarterly

Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is essential for good machine performance and service life

Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage

Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes to be performed more often

For hydraulic oil specifications, refer to Specifications, Hydraulic Specifications

Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may be tested by an oil distributor for specific levels of contamination to verify that changing the oil is necessary

Replace the oil when it fails the test

Refer to Maintenance Procedure, Test or Replace the Hydraulic Oil

Check and add the coolant level

Drain the fuel system filter / water separator

Clean the air filter discharge valve

Check the oil, fuel, and coolant systems for leaks

Perform a visual inspection of the engine

Sign off on the daily maintenance

The 50 hour maintenance procedure is a one time sequence of procedures to be performed after the first 50 hours of usage

After this interval, refer to the maintenance inspection report for continued scheduled maintenance
