Check The Extendable Axle Wear Pads - Genie S-105 Service Manual

D-2
Check the Extendable Axle
Wear Pads
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 1000 hours or annually, whichever
comes first.
Maintaining the axle wear pads in good condition is
essential to safe machine operation. Wear pads are
placed on axle tube surfaces to provide a low
friction, replaceable wear pad between moving
parts. Improperly shimmed wear pads or continued
use of worn out wear pads may result in component
damage and unsafe operating conditions.
Note: Be sure that the axles are fully extended
before attempting this procedure.
1 Start the engine from the platform controls and
extend the axles.
2 Measure each wear pad.

Minimum thickness
3 - 50
3 Replace any wear pad if it is less than
specification. If a wear pad is not less than
specification, shim as necessary to obtain
minimum clearance and no drag.
Note: If the wear pads are still within specification.
Refer to Repair Section 13-6, How to Shim the
Extendable Axles.
Note: Keep axle lubricated. See A-11 , Grease the
Extendable Axles .
4 Extend and retract the axles through the entire
range of motion to check for tight spots that
may cause binding or scraping of the axle
tubes.
Note: Always maintain squareness between the
outer and inner axle tubes.
