Operator's Manual Fifth Edition• Third Printing

Operating Instructions

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Fundamentals

The Operating Instructions section provides instructions for each aspect of machine operation.

It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the safety rules and instructions in the operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals.

Using the machine for anything other than lifting personnel, along with their tools and materials, to an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.

Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to operate a machine. If more than one operator is expected to use a machine at different times in the same work shift, they must all be qualified operators and are all expected to follow all safety rules and instructions in the operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals. That means every new operator should perform a pre-operation inspection, function tests, and a workplace inspection before using the machine.

Fifth Edition • Third Printing Operator's Manual

Operating Instructions

To determine the slope grade:

Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR use the following procedure.

You will need: carpenter’s level straight piece of wood, at least 1 m long tape measure

Lay the piece of wood on the slope.

At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge of the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece of wood is level.

While holding the piece of wood level, measure the distance from the bottom of the piece of wood to the ground.

Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by

100.

Example:

run rise

Run = 3.6 m

Rise = 0.3 m

0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3%

If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side slope rating, the machine must be winched or transported up or down the slope. See Transport and Lifting section.

Error indicator readout

If the LED diagnostic readout displays an error code, such as LL, push in and pull out the red

Emergency Stop button to reset the system.

Maintenance

Check the Hydraulic Oil Level

Observe and Obey:

Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual shall be performed by the operator.

Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be completed by qualified service technicians, according to the manufacturer's specifications and the requirements specified in the responsibilities manual.

Use only Genie approved replacement parts.

Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper levels is essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic system problems.

Note: Perform this procedure with the platform in the stowed position.

1 Visually inspect the oil level in the hydraulic tank.

Result: The hydraulic oil level should be as marked on the tank.

2 Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
