Inspect the Boom Extend/Retract
Cables
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever
comes first.
The boom extend/retract cables are responsible
for the extension and retraction of the number
3 boom tube. Inspecting for foreign objects,
damage and/or improper adjustment of the boom
extend/retract cables and related components on a
regular basis is essential to good machine
performance and safe machine operation. The
boom extend and retract functions should operate
smoothly and be free of hesitation, jerking and
unusual noise.
1 Raise the boom to horizontal and fully extend
the boom.
2 After the boom is fully extended, lower the
boom until the platform is at chest height.
Turn the machine off.
