Test the Primary Boom Angle
Sensor - Z-80/60
Genie specifications require that this procedure be
performed quarterly.
A properly functioning primary boom angle sensor
(PBAS) is essential to safe machine operation. The
primary boom angle sensor is used to limit the
angle of the primary boom relative to the angle of
the secondary boom and gravity. The ECM at the
ground controls (TCON) monitors the position and
angle of the primary boom using the signal from
PBAS. The PBAS signal is used to control the
ramping of the primary boom as well as velocity
control, limiting the speed of the primary boom to
1.3 feet / 0.4 meters per second.
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on
a firm, level surface.
Note: Use the following chart to identify the
description of each LCD screen control button used

Tip-over hazard. If the boom
does not stop at 65°,
immediately release the function
enable button and lower the
primary boom. Failure to lower
the boom could cause the
machine to tip over resulting in
death or serious injury.
