Check the High Pressure
Hydraulic Filter Condition
Indicator
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed daily or every 8 hours, whichever comes
first.
Maintaining the high pressure hydraulic filter in
good condition is essential to good system
performance and safe machine operation. The filter
condition indicator will show when the hydraulic flow
is bypassing a clogged filter. If the filter is not
frequently checked and replaced, impurities will
remain in the hydraulic system and cause
component damage.
1 Open the engine side turntable cover.
2 Start the engine from the ground controls.
3 Change the engine idle to high rpm (rabbit
symbol).
4 Visually inspect the filter condition indicator.
Result: The filter condition indicator should be
operating with the plunger in the green area.
Result: If the indicator displays the plunger in
the red area, this indicates that the hydraulic
filter is being bypassed and the filter should be
replaced. See D-6, Replace the Hydraulic
Filters.
