Test the Platform Overload
System - All Models (if equipped),
Except ALC1000, S-60HC, S-80XC,
S-85XC and Z-45XC Models
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, Z-34/22 (N), Z-34/22 IC, Z-40/23N (RJ),
Z-45/25 (J) DC, Z-45/25 (J) Bi-Energy, Z-60
DC/FE, Z-62/40 and models equipped with the
340 kg capacity option
Note: Perform this procedure with the boom fully
retracted and in the stowed position and with the
machine on a firm, level surface.
1 Remove all weight, tools, accessories and
equipment from the platform.
Note: Failure to remove all weight, tools and
accessories from the platform will result in an
inaccurate test.
2 Engine Models: Turn the key switch to
ground control and pull out the red Emergency
Stop button to the on position at both the
ground and platform controls. Start the engine
from the ground controls and level the
platform. Do not turn the engine off.
DC Models: Turn the key switch to ground
controls and pull out the red Emergency Stop
button to the on position at both the ground
and platform controls. Level the platform.
3 Determine the maximum platform capacity.
Refer to the machine serial plate.
4 Using a suitable lifting device, place a test
weight equal to that of the available capacity in
one of the locations shown. Refer to
Illustration 1.
Result: The platform overload indicator lights
should be off at both the ground and platform
controls, the alarm should not sound and the
engine should continue to run.
