Grease the Platform Overload
Mechanism (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed annually.
Perform this procedure more often if dusty
conditions exist.
Application of lubrication to the platform overload
mechanism is essential to safe machine operation.
Continued use of an improperly greased platform
overload mechanism could result in the system not
sensing an overloaded platform condition and will
result in component damage.
This maintenance procedure does not apply to the
following models:
S-40HF, S-45HF, S-40XC, S-
45XC, S-60HF, S-65HF, S-60J, S-60XC, S-65XC,
S-80HF, S-85HF, S-80J, S-80XC, S-85XC, SX-

Test the Platform Overload
System - (if equipped)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed annually OR when the machine fails to
lift the maximum rated load.
Testing the platform overload system regularly is
essential to safe machine operation. Continued
use of an improperly operating platform overload
system could result in the system not sensing an
overloaded platform condition. Machine stability
could be compromised resulting in the machine
tipping over.
This maintenance procedure applies to the
following models:
S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, S-
85, Z-45/25 (J), Z-51/30J, Z-30/20N (RJ), Z-34/22,

(J) DC, Z-45/25 (J) Bi-Energy, Z-60 DC/FE, Z-
62/40 and models equipped with the 340 kg
capacity option.
This maintenance procedure does not apply to the
following models:
ALC1000, S-40HF, S-45HF, S-
40XC, S-45XC, S-60HC, S-60HF, S-65HF, S-60J,
S-60 XC, S-5 XC, S-80HF, S-80J, S-85HF, S-
80XC, S-85XC, Z-45HF, Z-45XC, Z45 DC/FE
from Z45EM-101.
