Inspect the Boom Extend/Retract
Cables and Sheaves - S-60/65, S-
80/85 and S-80J (includes HF, X,
XC and TraX models)
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed annually.
Manufacturers specifications require that this
procedure be performed by personnel that are
competent in cable / wire rope and sheave
inspection.

inspections may be required due to the
following:
•

environmental conditions.
•

The boom extend/retract cables and sheaves are
responsible for the extension and retraction of the
boom tubes. Inspecting for foreign objects,
damage and/or improper adjustment of the boom
extend/retract cables and related components on a
regular basis is essential to good machine
performance and safe machine operation. The
boom extend and retract functions should operate
smoothly and be free of hesitation, jerking and
unusual noise.
