Q-8
Check the Oscillate Directional
Valve Linkage (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed quarterly.
Note: Perform this test only on models equipped
with an oscillating axle.
Proper axle oscillation is essential to safe machine
operation. If the oscillate directional valve linkage is
not operating correctly, the stability of the machine
is compromised and it may tip over.
1 Remove the drive chassis cover and the axle
covers from the non-steer end of the drive
chassis.
1/4 inch
6.5 mm
2 Locate the oscillate directional valve inside of
the non-steer axle and inspect the linkage for
the following:
80-90 ft-lbs • Lock nut is tight against yoke
108-122 Nm
• Yoke clevis pins are installed
108 in-lbs
12.2 Nm • Cotter pins are installed through clevis pins
• Linkage is properly attached to directional
valve
