Hydraulic Oil Specifications
Hydraulic Fluid Specifications
Genie specifications require hydraulic oils which are
designed to give maximum protection to hydraulic
systems, have the ability to perform over a wide
temperature range, and the viscosity index should
exceed 140. They should provide excellent antiwear,
oxidation prevention, corrosion inhibition, seal
conditioning, and foam and aeration suppression
properties.
Cleanliness level,
minimum
ISO 15/13
Water content,
maximum
250 ppm
Recommended Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic oil type Chevron Rando HD Premium
Viscosity grade 32
Viscosity index 200
Optional Hydraulic Fluids
Mineral based Shell Tellus S2 V 32
Shell Tellus S2 V 46
Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 Shell
Shell Donax TG (Dexron III)
Chevron 5606A
Biodegradable Petro Canada Environ MV 46
Fire resistant UCON Hydrolube HP-5046
Note: Genie specifications require additional
equipment and special installation instructions for
the approved optional fluids. Consult Genie
Product Support before use.
Optional fluids may not have
the same hydraulic lifespan and
may result in component
damage.
Note: Extended machine operation can cause the
hydraulic fluid temperature to increase beyond it's
maximum allowable range. If the hydraulic fluid
temperature consistently exceeds 200°F / 90°C an
optional oil cooler may be required.
Do not top off with incompatible
hydraulic fluids. Hydraulic fluids
may be incompatible due to the
differences in base additive
chemistry. When incompatible
fluids are mixed, insoluble
materials may form and deposit
in the hydraulic system,
plugging hydraulic lines, filters,
control valves and may result in
component damage.
Note: Do not operate the machine when the
ambient air temperature is consistently above
120°F / 49°C.
