Inspect the Tires, Wheels
and Lug Nut Torque
Genie requires that this procedure
be performed every 250 hours or
quarterly, whichever comes first.
Maintaining the tires and wheels in good
condition, including proper wheel fastener torque, is
essential to safe operation and good performance.
Tire and/or wheel failure could result in a machine
tip-over. Component damage may also result if
problems are not discovered and repaired in a
timely fashion.
Bodily injury hazard. An over-
inflated tire can explode and could
result in death or serious injury.
Tip-over hazard. Do not use
temporary flat tire repair products.
The tires on some machines are
foam filled and do not need air
added to them.
1 Check all tire treads and sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, punctures and unusual wear.
2 Check each wheel for damage, bends and
cracked welds.
3 Check each lug nut for proper torque. Refer to
Section 2, Specifications .

Check the Drive Hub Oil Level
and Fastener Torque
Failure to maintain proper drive hub oil levels may
cause the machine to perform poorly and continued
use may cause component damage.
Drive hubs
1 Drive the machine to rotate the hub until the
plugs are located one at the side and the other
at the other side.
2 Remove both plugs and check the oil level.
Result: The oil level should be even with the
bottom of the plug holes.
3 If necessary, add oil until the oil level is even
with the bottom of the plug holes.
4 Install the plugs in the drive hub.
5 Check the torque of the drive hub mounting
fasteners. Refer to Section 2, Specifications.
6 Repeat this procedure for each drive hub.
