Grease the Platform Overload
Mechanism (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 500 hours or six 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.

Test the Platform Overload
System (If equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 500 hours or six months,
whichever comes first OR when the machine fails
to lift the maximum rated load.
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 boom fully
retracted and in the stowed position and with the
machine on a firm, level surface.
1 Remove all weight, tools, accessories and
equipment from the platform.
Note: Failure to remove all weight, tools and
accessories from the platform will result in an
inaccurate test.
2 Turn the key switch to ground control and pull
out the red Emergency Stop button to the on
position at both the ground and platform
controls. Start the engine from the ground
controls and level the platform. Do not turn the
engine off.
3 Determine the maximum platform capacity.
Refer to the machine serial plate.
