Clean and Lubricate the Columns
Clean and properly lubricated columns are
essential to good machine performance and safe
operation. Extremely dirty conditions may require
that the columns be cleaned and lubricated more
often.
1 Raise the platform to the maximum height.
2 Visually inspect the inner and outer channels of
the columns for debris or foreign material. If
necessary, use a mild cleaning solvent to clean
the columns.
This procedure will require the use
of additional access equipment.
Do not place ladders or scaffold
on or against any part of the
machine. Performing this
procedure without the proper skills
and tools may result in death or
serious injury. Dealer service is
strongly recommended.
3 If needed, lubricate the inner and outer
channels of the columns with a dry silicone
spray or silicone wax (Genie part no. 90337).
B-6
Test the Lifting Capacity
Proper lifting capacity is essential to safe machine
operation. Improper lifting capacity adjustment
could allow machine to be overloaded and may
cause death or serious injury.
This procedure requires specific
repair skills, lifting equipment and
a suitable workshop. Attempting
this procedure without these skills
and tools may result in death or
serious injury and significant
component damage. Dealer
service is strongly recommended.
1 Place the maximum load capacity in the
platform. Refer to the operator's manual or the
load capacity decal on the machine to
determine the maximum load capacity. Be sure
the load is secure.
2 Raise the platform slightly.
Result: The hydraulic power unit should raise
the platform.
3 Fully lower the platform.
4 Add an additional 30 pounds (14 kg) to the
platform. Secure the additional weight.
5 Raise the platform slightly.
Result: The hydraulic power unit should not be
able to raise the platform.
Note: If the hydraulic power unit is unable to lift
rated load or lifts more than rated load, see Repair
procedure 3-6,
How to Adjust the Pressure Relief
Valve.
