Repeat this procedurebeginning with step 6.8 Install the breather cap onto the hydraulictank.B-20Perform Hydraulic Oil AnalysisGenie specifications require that this procedure beperformed every 250 hours or quarterly, whichevercomes first.Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil isessential for good machine performance andservice life. Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainermay cause the machine to perform poorly andcontinued use may cause component damage.Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changesto be performed more often.
