Electrocution Hazards
This machine is not electrically insulated and will
not provide protection from contact with or
proximity to electrical current.
Do not operate the machine within 10 feet / 3 m of
any overhead electrical current.
Keep away from the machine if it contacts
energized power lines or becomes electrically
charged.
Tip-over Hazards
Do not use this machine to
lift people. This machine is
intended for lifting material
only.
Do not stand on the

Pre-operation Inspection
Fundamentals
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator performs the function tests.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items.
If damage or any unauthorized variation from
factory delivered condition is discovered, the
machine must be tagged and removed from
service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a pre-
operation inspection again before going on to the
function tests.

The function tests are designed to discover any
malfunctions before the machine is put into
service. The operator must follow the step-by-step
instructions to test all machine functions.
A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If
malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be
tagged and removed from service. Repairs to the
machine may only be made by a qualified service
technician, according to the manufacturer’s
specifications.
After repairs are completed, the operator must
perform a pre-operation inspection and function
tests again before putting the machine into
service.

Function Tests
1 Select a test area that is firm, level and free of
hazards.
Setup
2 Stand the machine up on its base. Release the
leg locks one at a time and lower each leg to
the down position.
3 Firmly grasp the cylinder assembly and lift it
enough for each leg to lock into the down
position.
Result: All four leg locks should click into the
locked position.
4 Position the platform over the mounting plug
and fasten it securely with the T-nut.
5 Set the CO2 tank bracket next to the
CO2 tank. Wrap the straps around the tank
and attach the tank tightly to the bracket. Set
the CO2 tank bracket with the tank on any one
of the hoist legs.
Note: Leave the tank on the bracket until it is
necessary to change tanks.
6 Spin the pressure regulator connecting nut
onto the CO2 tank valve stem and hand
tighten. It is not necessary to use a wrench.
Tip
-over hazard. The pressure
regulator operating pressure is
preset for the maximum load
capacity of the machine.
Modifying or using any other
pressure regulator or
compressor in excess of
60
0 kPa / 90 psi service could
result in death or serious injury.
Use only Genie approved
replacement parts.
7 Connect the hose and hand control by
inserting the hose plug end into the coupling
on the side of the pressure regulator. Connect
the hand control hose to the valve at the base
of the cylinder assembly.
8 Open the CO2 tank valve slowly by turning the
handle counterclockwise.
Component damage hazard. If
the CO
2 tank valve is opened
quickly, the pressure regulator
diaphragm could be damaged.

Platform Raise and Lower
9 Lock all four caster brakes.
10 Raise the platform by pressing the up button
on the hand control.
Result: Each tube should extend individually
and smoothly. They should not stick.
11 Lower the platform by pressing the down
button.
Result: The platform should descend at a
smooth, controlled rate.
12 Raise the platform again and then lower it by
opening the manual dump valve on top of the
hand control.
Result: The platform should descend at a
smooth, controlled rate, but more quickly.
Note: Raising and lowering the platform twice,
without a load, lubricates the columns.
