Observe and Obey:



Genie provides this securement information as

a recommendation. Drivers are solely

responsible for making sure machines are

properly secured and the correct trailer is

selected pursuant to US Department of

Transportation regulations, other localized

regulations, and their company policy.



Genie customers needing to containerize any

lift or Genie product should source a qualified

freight forwarder with expertise in preparing,

loading and securing construction and lifting

equipment for international shipment.



Only qualified mobile elevating work platform

operators should move the machine on or off

the truck.



The transport vehicle must be parked on a

level surface.



The transport vehicle must be secured to

prevent rolling while the machine is being

loaded.



Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces

and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand

the machine weight. Genie lifts are very heavy

relative to their size. See the serial label for

the machine weight. See the inspections

section for the serial label location.



Be sure the turntable is secured with the

turntable rotation lock before transporting. Be

sure to unlock the turntable for operation.



Do not drive the machine on a slope that

exceeds the uphill, downhill or side slope

rating. See Driving on a Slope in the Operating

Instructions section.



If the slope of the transport vehicle bed

exceeds the uphill or downhill maximum slope

rating, the machine must be loaded and

unloaded using a winch as described in the

brake release operation. See the

Specifications section for the slope ratings.

Free-wheel Configuration for

Winching

Chock the wheels to prevent the machine from

rolling.

Release the non-steer

wheel brakes by

turning over the drive

hub disconnect caps.

Be sure the winch line

is properly secured to

the drive chassis tie

points and the path is

clear of all

obstructions.

Reverse the procedures described to re-engage

the brakes.
