Positioning, Raising and Leveling
the Super-Straddle
1
Be sure the Genie AWP is fully lowered.
2
Raise the straddle platform just enough to lift
the Genie AWP casters off the ground by
turning each winch handle in a clockwise
rotation. If the frame retaining pins are inserted,
remove all four frame retaining pins before
cranking.
3
If the outriggers are not installed, install all four
Genie AWP outriggers.
4
Push the Super-Straddle into position next to
the object to be straddled. Two people are
required to position the Super-Straddle if the
ground surface is sloped.
5
Lock the swivel casters closest to the object to
be straddled in the desired direction of travel.
To lock the swivel caster, pull out on the ring,
turn the ring 90 degrees and let go.
6
Adjust the outrigger screw jacks so the pads
are close to, but do not touch, the ground
surface.
7
Using the winches, raise the straddle platform
to a level height just above the object to be
straddled.
8
Install frame retaining pins at each
corner of the Super-Straddle and
release the tension on the winch
cable. To insert frame retaining
pins, align the holes and lift up on
the gray tab on the pin retaining
interlock box.
Note: Be sure to use the same hole position for
both pins on one end frame.
9
If the cables are not connected, connect the
electrical cables to the AWP sockets.
10 Carefully push the Super-Straddle over the
object to be straddled and apply all four swivel
caster brakes. If the ground surface is sloped,
set and lock the swivel casters at a right angle
to the slope. Two people are required to
position the Super-Straddle if the ground
surface is sloped.
