  • Page 8: Operational Safety

    3 Be properly seated in the operator’s seat. 3 Do not attempt to operate until you have read and fully understand this manual and the OEM manual for the carrier. © 2019 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis Power Series Linkage Tools...
  • Page 9: Check The Equipment

    Stability Your Genesis attachment is sized for carrier stability. However, improper operation, faulty mainte- nance or unauthorized modifications may cause instability. 3 Know the working ranges and capacities of the carrier to avoid tipping.
  • Page 10: Know The Work Area

    3 Slowly operate all functions to check for proper operation and to bleed air from the hydrau- lic system. To shut down: 3 Return your Genesis attachment to a rest position on the ground. 3 Shut off the carrier engine. 3 Work controls in all directions to relieve hydraulic pressure, per excavator manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Page 11: Safely Operate Equipment

    3 A heavy load can cause equipment instability. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. The equipment may need additional counter-weights to counterbalance the weight of the attachment. © 2019 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis Power Series Linkage Tools 11...
  • Page 12: Transporting The Attachment

    Current in high voltage lines may arc some distance from the wire to a nearby ground. Keep all parts of the machine at least 50 feet (16m) away from power lines. © 2019 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis Power Series Linkage Tools...
  • Page 13: Prioritized Oil Flow

    It is recommended to use dust suppression (such as water) or dust col- lection (such as a vacuum) along with personal protective equipment if necessary during the operation of any attachment that may cause high levels of silica dust. © 2019 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis Power Series Linkage Tools 13...
  • Page 14: Process Material Safely

    Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death. • Use your Genesis attachment only as directed in this manual. Do not use the attachment to lift and move other objects. Doing so may cause instability and tipping.
  • Page 15: Attachment Markings

    ATTACHMENT MARKINGS Decals are necessary for safe operation and maintenance. To reorder, contact your Genesis dealer or call 715-395-5252. Logo Model Serial Number (Weld-on) © 2019 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis Power Series Linkage Tools 15...
  • Page 16: Pad Installation

    PAD INSTALLATION Preparation of the excavator prior to attachment delivery will make installation safer and easier. Contact Genesis or your Genesis dealer for assistance. Curl the excavator stick under so the bottom of the stick is facing upward. Use the mounting dimensions provided on your installation drawing to locate the correct placement of the stabilizer pad on the bottom of the stick.
  • Page 17: Attachment Installation

    Remove the bucket or other attachment following the manufacturer’s procedure. Retract the bucket cylinder and associated linkage. All Power Series Linkage Tools are designed to sit flat on the ground. The attachment must be on a firm, level surface with the jaws closed.
  • Page 18: Maintenance Safety

    Do not exceed bolt torque specifications. Do not weld on structural components without consulting Genesis. Doing so may cause structural failure and void the warranty. Do not work on the attachment before ensuring it will not move. Completely lower the boom to the ground or a rest position and relieve hydraulic pressure.
  • Page 19: Maintenance Schedule

    Inspect and grease components every eight hours of operation, as indicated below. Use the main- tenance procedures described in this manual. If you are not able to safely and competently per- form these procedures, have a Genesis dealer perform them. Extreme operating conditions may require shortened maintenance intervals.
  • Page 20: Bolt Torque Specifications

    BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS Genesis typically uses dry torque measurements. Prior to using the chart below, clean all bolt holes, bolts and nuts to remove dirt, grease and oil. See the Visual Reference below or Part Lists to identify bolt type.
