D-3.16 Checking The Safety Devices - Genie GTH-3512 Operator's Manual

■ D-3.16 CHECKING THE SAFETY DEVICES
■ Checking the moment limiting system
(at every use)
When power is turned on, the DLE moment limiting
system runs a self-test. In the case of troubles, LED's
5, 8 and 10 start flashing, the buzzer sounds, an error
code is shown on the display and the machine enters
the alarm mode and cannot be operated.
The meaning of the error messages is shown in Section
E "Faults and Troubleshooting".
To do a manual check, it will be enough to load a weight
exceeding the maximum permitted (with the boom fully
out) and attempt to lift it.
The system shall enter in alarm; should that not be the
case, contact GENIE Technical Service.

■ Checking the machine start control
(at every use)
Attempt to start the engine with the forward or reverse
gear put.
The engine should not start. If the engine starts, contact
the GENIE Technical Service.
Repeat the operation putting first one gear, then the
other.

To check the efficiency of this pushbutton, simply
press it down during a movement. The pressure of the

To check if the pushbutton on the control lever is in
efficient working order, it will be enough to attempt to
operate the lever without pressing this button.
