Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed every 1000 hours or annually,
whichever comes first.
Perform this procedure more often if dusty

Replacement of the hydraulic filters is essential for
good machine performance and service life. A dirty

poorly and continued use may cause component
damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require
that the filter be replaced more often.
