Inspect The Electrical Wiring - Genie S-40 Service Manual

10 Check the ambient air temperature and adjust
the specific gravity reading for each cell as
follows:
• Add 0.004 to the reading of each cell for
every 10° / 5.5° C above 80° F / 26.7° C.
• Subtract 0.004 from the reading of each cell for
every 10° / 5.5° C below 80° F / 26.7° C.
Result: All battery cells display a specific
gravity of 1.277 +/- 0.007. The battery is fully
charged. Proceed to step 11.
Result: One or more battery cells display a
specific gravity from 1.269 to 1.218. The battery
is still useable, but at a lower performance so
will need to be recharged more often. Proceed
to step 11.
Result: One or more battery cells display a
specific gravity from 1.217 to 1.173. The battery
is approaching the end of its life. Proceed to
step 11.
Result: The difference in specific gravity
readings between cells is greater than 0.1 OR
the specific gravity of one or more cells is 1.172
or less. Replace the battery.
11 Check the battery acid level. If needed,
replenish with distilled water to
below the bottom of the battery fill tube. Do not
overfill.
12 Install the vent caps and neutralize any
electrolyte that may have spilled.

Inspect the Electrical Wiring

Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever
comes first.
Maintaining electrical wiring in good condition is
essential to safe operation and good machine
performance. Failure to find and replace burnt,
chafed, corroded or pinched wires could result in
unsafe operating conditions and may cause
component damage.
