Test or Replace the Hydraulic Oil
Genie requires that this procedure be performed
every 2000 hours.
Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer
or hydraulic filters may cause the machine to
perform poorly and continued use may cause
component damage. Extremely dirty conditions
may require oil changes to be performed more
frequently.
Note: Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may
be tested by an oil distributor for specific levels of
contamination to verify that changing the oil is
necessary. If the hydraulic oil is not replaced at the
2000 hour inspection, test the oil quarterly.
Replace the oil when it fails the test.
Note: When removing a hose assembly or fitting,
the O-ring (if equipped) on the fitting and/or hose
end must be replaced. All connections must be
torqued to specification during installation. Refer to
Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque
Specifications,
Specifications.

maintenance interval, the oil must be replaced.
After the oil has been replaced, continue the
scheduled quarterly maintenance inspection.
