OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Moving Machine with a Load

It is best to move the machine on the worksite with
no load. Moving a raised load should be restricted
to positioning for loading and unloading. If it is
necessary to move the machine with a raised load,
understand and obey the following safety rules:

· Make sure the area is level and clear of

obstructions

· Make sure the load is centered on the load

handling attachment

· Make sure the load is secured to the load

handling attachment

· Avoid sudden starts and stops

· Travel with the load in the lowest possible

position

· Keep personnel away from the machine and

load

After Each Use

To prepare the Genie Superlift for storage, follow
the Setup procedure in reverse order.

Select a safe storage location - firm level surface,
weather protected, clear of obstruction and traffic.

Setup

Select an area that is firm, level and free of
obstructions.

Follow the Setup procedures in the Function Tests
section.

Raising and Lowering Load

1 Center the load on the load handling attachment.

See Load Capacity Charts section.

2 Secure the load to the load handling attachment.

3 Raise the load by firmly

grasping the winch
handles and rotating
them toward the mast.
Do not allow the cable
to wind unevenly onto
the drum.

4 Lower the load by firmly grasping the winch

handles and rotating them away from the mast.
