Checklist C Procedures

C-1
Grease the Platform Overload
Mechanism (if equipped)
Genie specifi cations require
that this procedure be performed every 500 hours
or 6 months, whichever comes fi rst. 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 fi ttings on each pivot pin of
the platform overload assembly.
2 Thoroughly pump grease into each grease
fi tting using a multi-purpose grease.

C-2
Test the Platform Overload
System (if equipped)
Genie specifi cations require that this procedure be
performed every 500 hours or 6 months, whichever
comes fi rst.
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 machine on
a fi rm, level surface.
1 At the ground controls, extend the outriggers
until the tires are off the ground and the
machine is level.
2 Release the boom hold down latch.
3 Turn the key switch to platform control.
4 Level the platform.
5 Determine the maximum platform capacity.
Refer to the machine serial plate.
6 Using a suitable lifting device, place an
appropriate test weight equal to the maximum
platform capacity in the center of the platform
fl oor
Result: The platform overload indicator light
should be off at both the ground and platform
controls.
