Shafting Alignment - Genie GTH-4013 SX Operator's Manual

SHAFTING ALIGNMENT

During operation, the alignment of the front and rear
axles of the machine can be subject to variations.
This can depend on an oil blow-by from the steering
control circuit, or on a steering of both axles when
front and rear wheels are not perfectly aligned.
To fix this problem, rather than checking the alignment
visually, follow the procedure below:
1) Move to a solid and level ground
2) Set the steering selection switch 27 to "four-
wheel steering" (pos. 2)
3) Rotate the steering wheel up to its stop (either
to the right or to the left)
4) Set the steering selection switch to "two-wheel
steering" (pos. 0)
5) Rotate the steering wheel up to its stop (turn
in the same direction as above)
6) Reset the steering selection switch to "four-
wheel steering" (pos. 2)
7) Rotate the steering wheel (to the side opposite
to point 3) so that the rear axle reaches its stop
8) Reset the steering selection switch to "two-wheel
steering" (pos. 0)
9) Rotate the steering wheel (to the same side as
in point 7) so that the front axle reaches its stop
10) Reset the steering selection switch to "four-
wheel steering" (pos. 2)
Now the wheels should be re-aligned.

The machine is equipped with an automatic
system for the rear wheels alignment. To align
the rear wheels turn the steering selector switch
to position 0 then turn the steering wheel slowly
until the rear wheels are locked. On the LMI panel
a note comes on automatically when the rear
wheels are not aligned ("rear tyres not aligned").
