Remove all rings,watches and other jewelry.1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.2 Be sure that the battery cable connections aretight and free of corrosion.Note: Adding terminal protectors and a corrosionpreventative sealant will help eliminate corrosionon the battery terminals and cables.3 Remove the battery vent caps and check thespecific gravity of each battery cell with ahydrometer.Result: If any battery cell displays a specificgravity of less than 1.026, the battery must bereplaced.4 Check the battery acid level. If needed,replenish with distilled water to the bottom ofthe battery fill tube. Do not overfill.5 Install the battery vent caps.6 If equipped: Set the battery charger ACSelector switch to the proper voltage.7 Set the power switch to the AUTO position.8 Result: The charger ammeter should be on.B-2 Ins pect the Electrical WiringB-2Inspect the Electrical WiringGenie requires that this procedure be performedevery 250 hours or quarterly, whichever comesfirst.Maintaining electrical wiring in good condition isessential to safe operation and good machineperformance. Failure to find and replace burnt,chafed, corroded or pinched wires could result inunsafe operating conditions and may causecomponent damage.Electrocution/burn hazard.Contact with electrically chargedcircuits could result in death orserious injury. Remove all rings,watches and other jewelry.1 Inspect the following areas for burnt, chafed,corroded pinched and loose wires:• All base wiring• Inside ground control box• Hydraulic power unit• All external electrical cables• DC models: battery pack• AC power supply cord• IWP models: inside base junction box• IWP models: power wheel assist manifold (ifequipped)
