Operating Instructions

Genie Z-20/8N & Genie Z-20/8 & Genie Z-25/8
Fundamentals
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals.
Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel and tools to an aerial work site is unsafe
and dangerous.
Only trained and authorized personnel should be
permitted to operate a machine. If more than one
operator is expected to use a machine at different
times in the same work shift, they must all be
qualified operators and are all expected to follow all
safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals. That means
every new operator should perform a pre-operation
inspection, function tests, and a work place
inspection before using the machine.
Emergency Stop
Push in the red Emergency Stop button to the off
position to stop all ground and platform control
functions.
Repair any function that operates from the ground
or platform controls when the Emergency Stop
button at the ground controls is pushed in.
Repair any function that operates from the
platform when the Emergency Stop button at the
platform controls is pushed in.
Selecting and operating the ground controls will
override the platform Emergency Stop button.
