Need help?Do you have a question about the Genie CE Series and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an Operator's Manual Supplement for Genie S-45 XC, S-45 XC Trax, S-65 XC, and S-65 XC Trax CE Models when equipped with a 4m platform. It provides crucial information for the safe operation, maintenance, and software updates related to this specific platform configuration.
This supplement details the installation and operational considerations for a 4m platform on the specified Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts. The primary function of this supplement is to ensure that operators and service personnel are aware of the unique requirements and safety protocols associated with using this particular platform. It outlines the approved models for the 4m platform and explicitly warns against installing it on any other Genie product. A key aspect of the 4m platform's functionality is its integration with the machine's control system, which automatically manages the range of motion based on the platform load to prevent tip-over hazards. This includes specific tilt sensor activation settings that restrict boom angle, platform height, and platform reach depending on the platform load (272 kg maximum capacity) and the machine's inclination. The document also covers the necessary software updates to ensure the machine's control system correctly recognizes and operates with the 4m platform, including procedures for checking and updating bootloader and application firmware.
The manual emphasizes several critical usage features to ensure safe operation. Before any operation, a pre-operation inspection is mandatory, which includes verifying the completeness and legibility of the operator's manual and supplements, checking all decals, and inspecting the 4m platform for any damage, missing parts, or unauthorized modifications (e.g., nuts, bolts, structural cracks, dents). The document provides detailed decal inspection diagrams for both S-45 XC/Trax and S-65 XC/Trax models, highlighting specific warning, lock transport, swing lock, tip-over hazard, and capacity decals.
A significant usage feature is the platform capacity range, which is automatically controlled. The manual includes range of motion charts for both S-45 XC/Trax and S-65 XC/Trax with the 4m platform, illustrating the operational envelope based on load. The tilt sensor activation settings are crucial for safe usage, with specific tilt/slope limits (5° for S-45 XC/Trax, 4° for S-65 XC/Trax) that trigger restricted range of motion when the platform load exceeds 272 kg or when the machine is on a slope. When the "Machine On Incline" indicator light is on and the tilt alarm sounds, drive and lift-up functions are disabled, requiring operators to follow specific procedures to restore functionality.
For transportation, the supplement provides instructions for securing the platform. This involves stowing the jib and platform and, for standard width trailers, rotating the turntable by a specific degree (4 degrees for S-45 XC/Trax, 3.5 degrees for S-65 XC/Trax) and locking it using an Off-center Transport Lock. The platform must be secured with a nylon strap parallel to the strap guides, avoiding excessive downward force on the boom section.
The maintenance features primarily revolve around the installation and software update procedures for the 4m platform. The installation instructions detail the steps for removing an existing platform and installing the 4m platform, emphasizing the need for authorized personnel and a firm, level surface. Key steps include adjusting the jib, removing optional accessories, disconnecting cables and fasteners from the control box and foot switch, and supporting the platform with a lifting device before removal. The installation of the 4m platform is performed in reverse order of removal.
A critical maintenance aspect is the software update, which is required for some machines to ensure compatibility with the 4m platform. This involves checking the application and bootloader firmware revisions from the ground controls. The manual provides a step-by-step guide for accessing the firmware information and determining if an update is necessary. If an update is required, users are directed to the Genie firmware website to download the appropriate firmware file and follow detailed instructions for updating the machine software using a USB flash drive. After any software update or platform installation, a zero-load platform calibration is mandatory, and a function test must be performed to verify proper operation. The manual also lists specific tools required for installation, such as SAE wrenches, sockets, a ratchet, and a Torx T15 screwdriver for software updates. It also provides a list of components included in the 1295770GT kit, which contains various decals and the installation instructions themselves. The document explicitly states that certain optional accessories are NOT approved for use with the 4m platform, and these should not be reinstalled.
