Maintenance Manual April 2016Annual Maintenance Procedures98 S Booms • Z Booms Part No. 1268489A-7Grease the Platform OverloadMechanism (if equipped)Genie specifications require that this procedure beperformed annually.Perform this procedure more often if dustyconditions exist.Application of lubrication to the platform overloadmechanism is essential to safe machine operation.Continued use of an improperly greased platformoverload mechanism could result in the system notsensing an overloaded platform condition and willresult in component damage.1 Locate the grease fittings on each pivot pin ofthe platform overload assembly.2 Thoroughly pump grease into each greasefitting.Grease SpecificationChevron Ultra-duty grease, EP NLGI 1 (lithium based)or equivalentA-8Test the Platform OverloadSystem -All Models, Except ALC1000 andS-60HC ModelsGenie specifications require that this procedure beperformed annually OR when the machine fails tolift the maximum rated load.Testing the platform overload system regularly isessential to safe machine operation. Continueduse of an improperly operating platform overloadsystem could result in the system not sensing anoverloaded platform condition. Machine stabilitycould be compromised resulting in the machinetipping over.This maintenance procedure applies to thefollowing models: S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80,S-85, Z-45/25 (J), Z-51/30J, Z-30/20N (RJ),Z-34/22, Z-34/22 (N), Z-34/22 IC, Z-40/23N (RJ),Z-45/25 (J) DC, Z-45/25 (J) Bi-Energy, Z-60DC/FE, Z-62/40 and models equipped with the340 kg capacity optionNote: Perform this procedure with the boom fullyretracted and in the stowed position and with themachine on a firm, level surface.1 Remove all weight, tools, accessories andequipment from the platform.Note: Failure to remove all weight, tools andaccessories from the platform will result in aninaccurate test.
