Grease the Platform Overload
Mechanism (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 500 hours or 6 months, whichever
comes first. 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.
1 Locate the grease fittings on each pivot pin of
the platform overload assembly.
2 Thoroughly pump grease into each grease
fitting using a multi-purpose grease.

Test the Platform Overload
System (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 500 hours or 6 months, whichever
comes first.
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 machine on
a firm, level surface.
1 Turn the key switch to platform control. Start the
engine and level the platform.
2 Determine the maximum platform capacity.
Refer to the machine serial plate.
3 Remove all weight, tools and accessories from
the platform.
Note: Failure to remove all weight, tools and
accessories from the platform will result in an
inaccurate test.
