Test the Engine Idle Select

Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever
comes first.
A properly operating engine idle select switch
is essential to good engine performance and safe
machine operation. There are two settings.
Foot switch activated low idle (turtle symbol)
allows the operator to control individual boom
functions. Drive functions will operate at low idle,
but at reduced performance.
Foot switch activated high idle (rabbit symbol)
should be used for normal machine operation. This
selection activates high idle only when the foot
switch is pressed down.
1 Pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the
on position at both the ground and platform
controls.
2 Start the engine from the ground controls then
move the function enable toggle switch to the
high idle (rabbit symbol) position and hold in the
on position.
Result: The engine should change to high idle.
3 Release the function enable toggle switch.
Result: The engine should return to low idle.
