Q-5
Check the Exhaust System
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed quarterly.
Maintaining the exhaust system is essential to
good engine performance and service life.
Operating the engine with a damaged or leaking
exhaust system can cause component damage
and unsafe operating conditions.
Bodily injury hazard. Do not
inspect while the engine is
running. Remove the key to
secure from operation.
Burn hazard. Beware of hot
engine components. Contact
with hot engine components
may result in severe burns.
1 Be sure that all nuts and bolts are tight.
2 Inspect all welds for cracks.
3 Inspect for exhaust leaks; i.e., carbon buildup
around seams and joints.
Q-6
Inspect the Tires, Wheels and
Lug Nut Torque
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed quarterly.
Maintaining the tires and wheels, 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
over-inflated tire can explode
and could cause death or serious
injury.
Tip-over hazard. Do not use
temporary flat tire repair
products.
Note: The tires on some machines are foam-filled
or solid rubber 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
cracked welds.
3 Check each lug nut for proper torque. Refer to
Specifications,
Machine Specifications
