If the platform load is greater than 664 lbs/301 kg,
or 604 lbs/274 kg with Aircraft Protection Package
do not move the platform into the unrestricted
range of motion zone.
Do not exceed the maximum platform capacity.
Do not attach a platform rated at 660 lbs/300 kg
(unrestricted range of motion) or 1000 lbs/454 kg
(restricted range of motion) to machines with any
other rated load. See the serial label for the
maximum rated load.
The weight of options and accessories, such as
pipe cradles, panel cradles and welders, will
reduce the rated platform capacity and must be
subtracted from the platform capacity. See the
decals with the options and accessories.
If using accessories, read, understand and obey
the decals, instructions and manuals with the
accessory.
Do not raise or extend the
boom unless the machine
is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised,
use extreme caution. Identify the condition of the
boom on the slope as shown in the tilt alarm
procedure. Follow the steps to lower the boom
before moving to a firm, level surface. Do not
rotate the boom while lowering.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform uphill:
1Lower the primary
boom.
2Lower the secondary
boom.
3Retract the primary
boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform
downhill:
1Retract the primary
boom.
2Lower the secondary
boom.
3Lower the primary
boom.

Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph/12.5 m/s.
If wind speeds exceed
28 mph/12.5 m/s when
the boom is raised, lower
the boom and do not
continue to operate the
machine.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and
slow speeds while driving
the machine in the
stowed position across
uneven terrain, debris,
unstable or slippery
surfaces and near holes
and drop-offs.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the boom raised or extended.
Do not use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
boom.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom.
Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent
structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Do not push off or pull
toward any object
outside of the platform.
Maximum allowable

90 lbs / 400 N
Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not replace factory-installed tires with tires of
different specification or ply rating.
Do not use air-filled tires. These machines are
equipped with foam-filled tires. Wheel weight is
critical to stability.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged, or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
ground controls.

Operator's Manual First Edition • First Printing
Work Area Safety
14 Z®-45 XC™Part No. 1301594GT
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform
without prior written permission from the
manufacturer. Mounting attachments for holding
tools or other materials onto the platform,
toeboards, or guard rail system can increase the
weight in the platform and the surface area of the
platform or the load.
Do not place or attach
fixed or overhanging
loads to any part of this
machine.
Do not place ladders or
scaffolds in the platform
or against any part of this
machine.
Do not transport tools and materials unless they
are evenly distributed and can be safely handled
by person(s) in the platform.
Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile
surface or vehicle.
Be sure the tires are in good condition and the lug
nuts tightened.
Operation on Slopes Hazards
Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds
the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating of
the machine. Slope rating applies only to machines
in the stowed position.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position, 4WD
Platform downhill 45% (24°)
Platform uphill 25% (14°)
Side slope 25% (14°)
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate
traction. Additional platform weight may reduce
slope rating. See Driving on a Slope in the
Operating Instructions section.

is at ground level.
Hazards related with the specific product
application of exiting at height have been
considered in the design of the machine, for further
information contact Genie (see section Contacting
the Manufacturer).

Contact Alarm Safety
Read, understand and obey all warnings and
instructions provided with the contact alarm.
Do not exceed the rated platform capacity. The
weight of the contact alarm assembly will reduce
the rated platform capacity and must be subtracted
from the total platform load.
The contact alarm assembly weighs 10 lbs/4.5 kg.
Be sure the contact alarm is securely installed.
Panel Cradle Safety
Read, understand and obey all warnings and
instructions provided with the panel cradles.
Do not exceed the rated platform capacity. The
combined weight of the cradles, panels, occupants,
tools and any other equipment must not exceed
rated capacity.
The panel cradle assembly weighs 30 lbs/13.6 kg.
The maximum capacity of the panel cradles is
250 lbs/113 kg.
The weight of the panel cradles and the load in the
panel cradles may limit the maximum number of
occupants in platform to one person.
Secure the cradles to the platform. Secure the
panel(s) to the platform railing using the straps
provided.
Do not operate unless you are adequately
instructed and are aware of all hazards associated
with lifting panels.
Do not cause a horizontal force or side load to
machine by raising or lowering a fixed or
overhanging load.
Maximum vertical height of panels: 4 ft/1.2 m.
Maximum wind speed: 15 mph/6.7 m/sec.
Maximum panel area: 32 sq ft/3 m2.
