CHECKLIST B PROCEDURES
B-4
Inspect the Engine Air Filter
Genie requires that this procedure be performed
every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever comes
first. Perform this procedure more often if dusty
conditions exist.
Maintaining the engine air filter in good condition is
essential to good engine performance and service
life. Failure to perform this procedure can lead to
poor engine performance and component damage.
Note: Perform this procedure with the engine off.
1 Release the latches on the front cover of the air
cleaner assembly. Remove the cover.
2 Gently twist and pull out the external or primary
filter element.
3 Remove the inner or secondary filter element.
4 Clean the inside of the canister and the gasket
with a damp cloth.
5 Inspect the primary and secondary air filter
elements. If needed, blow from the inside
out using low pressure dry compressed air,
or carefully tap out dust.
6 Install the secondary filter element first, then
install the primary filter element.
7 Install the front cover onto the air cleaner
assembly and secure the latches.
B-5
Inspect the Tires, Wheels and
Lug Nut Torque
Genie requires that this procedure be performed
every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever comes
first.
Maintaining the tires and wheels in good
condition, including proper wheel fastener torque,
is essential to safe operation and good
performance. Tire and/or wheel failure could result
in a machine tip-over. Component damage may
also result if problems are not discovered and
repaired in a timely fashion.
Bodily injury hazard. An
overinflated tire can explode and
could result in death or serious
injury.
Tip over hazard. Do not use
temporary flat tire repair products.
Note: The tires on some machines are foam filled
and do not need air added to them.
1 Check all tire treads and sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, punctures and unusual wear.
2 Check each wheel for damage, bends and
cracks.
3 Check each lug nut for proper torque. Refer to
Section 2, Specifications.
