Test the Platform Overload
System (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that
this procedure be performed every
500 hours or six months.
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 stablity
could be compromised resulting in the machine
tipping over.
Perform this procedure with the
machine on a firm, level surface.
1 Turn the key switch to platform control. Start the
engine from the platform controls.
2 Level the platform.
3 Determine the maximum platform capacity.
Refer to the machine serial plate.
