  • 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. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 9: Check The Equipment

    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.
  • Page 10: Know The Work Area

    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.
  • 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. © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis GRX 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. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 13: Use Care With Hydraulic Fluid Pressure

    3 Hydraulic oil becomes hot during operation. Do not let hydraulic oil or components contact skin, as it could cause severe burns. Allow hydraulic components to cool before working on them. Use appropriate protective clothing and safety equipment. If burned, seek immediate medical attention. © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis GRX 13...
  • Page 14: Prioritized Oil Flow

    It is recommended to use dust suppression (such as water) or dust collection (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. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 15: 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 16: Maintenance/Transport Lock Bolts

    The lock bolts are to be installed any time the tool is transported or maintenance is performed to prevent inadvertent lock pin movement during these operations. Remove the lock bolts prior to normal operation. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 17: Rotation Lock

    There are TWO locks in every attachment, one on either side of the bracket. In some cases, one of the port blocks may need to be removed to access the rotation lock. The rotation locks and red flags should be saved for use during future transportation. © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis GRX 17...
  • Page 18: Attachment Installation

    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.

  • Page 24: Hydraulic Start-Up

    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.

  • Page 27: Maintenance Safety

    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.
  • Page 28 Never substitute pins or bolts. Use factory supplied pins. Replace all bolts with the same size and grade. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 29: Maintenance Schedule

    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.
  • Page 30: Eight-Hour Checklist

    After the first 80 hours of operation, check all bolts, including slewing ring bolts. • Replace regeneration valve components every 4000 hours. • Reseal cylinders every 4000 hours initially and every 3000 hours following. • Reseal swivel every 4000 hours. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 31: Lubrication Points

    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.

  • Page 39: Primary And Secondary Blades

    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.
  • Page 40: Adjustment Plates

    Clean the adjustment plates as necessary. Replacement plates can be ordered from your Genesis dealer or the Genesis Parts Department with the serial number of your shear. Offset dowel or fastener holes are located in each adjustment plate. When replacing adjustment plates, make sure these holes are aligned with the corresponding holes in the blade seat.

  • Page 43: Cracker & Pulverizer Jaw Set Maintenance

    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.
  • Page 44: Concrete Cracking Tips

    At the end of each shift, check the condition of the concrete cracking tips. Replace any broken bolts, and retorque loose bolts when cool. Replace tips when teeth become severely rounded or flat. A more pointed tooth will process concrete more efficiently. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
  • Page 45: Cutting Blades

    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.
  • Page 46: General Welding Guidelines

    • Cover the area with a heat blanket and allow it to cool slowly, approximately eight hours. • Do not put the attachment into operation until the welds have been allowed to cool. Genesis GRX © 2021 Genesis Attachments, LLC...
