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.
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.

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 zero
clearance and zero drag.
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.
