Inspect the Electrical Wiring

Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever
comes first.
Maintaining electrical wiring in good condition is
essential to safe operation and good machine
performance. Failure to find and replace burnt,
chafed, corroded or pinched wires could result in
unsafe operating conditions and may cause
component damage.
Electrocution/burn hazard. Contact
with hot or live circuits could result
in death or serious injury. Remove
all rings, watches and other
jewelry.
1 Inspect the underside of the chassis for
damaged or missing ground strap(s).
2 Inspect the following areas for burnt, chafed,
corroded and loose wires:
• Ground control panel
• Hydraulic power unit module tray
• Battery pack module tray
• Scissor arms
• Platform controls
3 Inspect for a liberal coating of dielectric grease
in the following locations:
• Between the ECM and platform controls
• Engine ECM (Ford models)
• All wire harness connectors
• Level sensor
4 Turn the key switch to ground control and pull
out the red Emergency Stop button to the on
position at both the ground and platform
controls.
