Checklist C Procedures; Test The Platform Overload System (If Equipped) - Genie GS-3384 Service Manual

C-1
Test the Platform Overload
System (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 500 hours or six months,
whichever comes first OR when the machine fails
to lift the maximum rated load.
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
firm, level surface that is free of obstructions.
1 Disconnect the platform controls from the
machine at the platform.
2 Open the ground control panel and locate the
Electronic Control Module (ECM).
3 Tag and disconnect the platform controls wire
harness from the ECM wire harness.
4 Securely connect the platform controls to the
ECM wire harness.
5 Locate the terminal strip behind the ground
control panel.
