Perform thisprocedure more often if dusty conditions 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 using a multipurpose grease.Grease SpecificationChevron Ultra-duty grease, EP NLGI 2 (lithium based)or equivalentC-2Test the Platform OverloadSystem (if equipped)Note: Genie specifications require that thisprocedure be performed every 500 hours or sixmonths, whichever comes first.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.The platform overload system is designed to detectan overloaded platform and prevent machineoperation anytime the machine is turned on. Whenactivated, the system halts all normal boomoperation, giving visual and audible warning to theoperator.Models equipped with the platform overload optionare provided with additional machine components:an adjustable spring-loaded platform supportsubassembly, a limit switch, an electronic modulewhich receives the overload signal and interruptspower, and an audio/visual warning indication toalert the operator of the overload.
