Replace the Hydraulic Filters

Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 1000 hours or annually,
whichever comes first.
Perform this procedure more often if dusty
conditions exist.
Replacement of the hydraulic filters is essential for
good machine performance and service life. A dirty
or clogged filter may cause the machine to perform
poorly and continued use may cause component
damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require
that the filter be replaced more often.
Note: Perform this procedure with the engine off.
