To ensure years of safe, dependable service, only trained and authorized persons should operate and service your Genesis attachment. It is the responsibility of the product’s owner to ensure the operator is trained in the safe operation of the product and has available this manual for review.
Stability Your Genesis attachment is sized for carrier stability. However, improper operation, faulty maintenance or unauthorized modifications may cause instability. 3 Know the working ranges and capacities of the carrier to avoid tipping.
3 Slowly operate all functions to check for proper operation and to bleed air from the hydraulic 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.
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.
ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION Preparation of the excavator prior to attachment delivery will make installation safer and easier. Contact Genesis or your Genesis dealer for assistance. Dual-Pump Flow An excavator typically has two hydraulic pumps that supply oil to its main control valve, which is usually separated into two halves.
50 PSI at all times. Foot Switch Installation Install the foot switch in the excavator and connect with electrical harness. Consult excavator dealer when using an alternate to the Genesis supplied foot switch. White Normal Open Black Normal Open...
HYDRAULIC START-UP Genesis attachments are designed to operate under full excavator pressure or up to 5500 PSI. Due to these high pressures, it is important that air is bled from the attachment cylinders after installation. Failure to follow these procedures could result in cylinder seal damage and/or excavator hydraulic system damage.
Do not exceed bolt torque specifications. See the Genesis Fastener Manual. 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.
Performing scheduled maintenance will promote safe, reliable operation of your attachment. Use maintenance procedures described in this manual. If you are not able to safely and competently perform these procedures, have a Genesis dealer perform them. Extreme operating conditions may require shortened maintenance intervals.
For temperatures below 32˚F, use a grade 0 grease. Do not use grease containing Molybdenum (Moly). Genesis GLG-2™ anti-wear, extreme-pressure lithium grease, PN 6302601, is recommended for all temperature conditions. Grease all fittings every four hours of operation. Grease until extrusion is visible.

Pulverizing Teeth As teeth become worn, they need to be rotated, built-up or replaced. To help customers determine and monitor how far processor teeth have worn from their original shape, Genesis has tooth build- up templates available. Each template is sized and formed to that tooth’s original shape and features three lines that indicate wear level.
Grind away dents or mushrooming of blade edges at the end of each day to prevent upper jaw deflection, excessive blade wear and undue stress to jaws. Rotate blades to use all four cutting edges. Always use Genesis-approved blades. Blades that do not meet Genesis specifications can cause major problems, and using them may void the warranty.
ROTATION CIRCUIT To meet diverse customer needs, Genesis offers two rotation valve options. They vary in mounting, function, factory-supplied and customer-supplied parts, and operating advantages. Valves are factory-set and should not need adjustment. If you believe adjustment is necessary, contact the Genesis Service Department.
