Operating Ins tructions
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator’s
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator’s responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator’s,
safety, and responsibilities manuals.
Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel, along with their tools and materials, to
an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.
Only trained and authorized personnel should be
permitted to operate a machine. If more than one
operator is expected to use a machine at different
times in the same work shift, they must all be
qualified operators and are all expected to follow all
safety rules and instructions in the operator’s,
safety, and responsibilities manuals. That means
every new operator should perform a pre-operation
inspection, function tests, and a workplace
inspection before using the machine.

ground. Continue moving the control handle until
the lift enable indicator light turns green and a beep
is heard. The machine is now level. When the lift
error indicator light turns red, the up/down and
drive functions are disabled. The lift error indicator
light will turn red under the following conditions:
•The platform is raised to the maximum indoor or
outdoor drivable height and the outriggers are
not deployed.
•Not all outriggers are in contact with the ground.
•All four outriggers are in contact with the ground
but the machine is not level.
•Error code.
Note: If the outrigger enable and extend buttons
are released too soon during extension, the
outrigger indicator lights will continue to flash green,
indicating the outriggers are not contacting the
ground.
Note: If the outrigger lights are solid green, the
machine may not be level or the outriggers may not
be fully deployed if a long beep is not heard at the

off the ground. After approximately 5 seconds, the
outrigger indicator lights will turn off. All functions
are now restored.
Note: If the outrigger enable and retract buttons are
released too soon during retraction, the outrigger
indicator lights will flash green, indicating the
outriggers are not fully retracted.

Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the
machine and determine the slope grade.

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.
To determine the slope grade:
Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR
use the following procedure.
You will need:
•carpenter’s level
•straight piece of wood, at least 3 feet/1 m long
•tape measure
Lay the piece of wood on the slope.
At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge of
the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece of
wood is level.
While holding the piece of wood level, measure the
vertical distance from the bottom of the piece of
wood to the ground.
Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the
length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by
100.
Example:
Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m)
Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)
Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)
12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade
If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side
slope rating, then the machine must be winched or
transported up or down the slope. See Transport
and Lifting section.

To test the platform height restriction:
1Press and hold the lift function enable button,
and press the platform up button.
Result: The platform should raise to the
previously set height. After reaching the
maximum height restriction, platform
movement will stop. If the operator continues
holding the joystick in the elevate direction for
more than 2 seconds after reaching the
maximum platform height limit, the platform
alarm will beep for one second and LoHt is
displayed on the platform controls LED.

Transport and Lif ting Instructions
Observe and Obey:
Genie provides this securement information as
a recommendation. Drivers are solely
responsible for making sure machines are
properly secured and the correct trailer is
selected pursuant to US Department of
Transportation regulations, other localized
regulations, and their company policy.
Genie customers needing to containerize any
lift or Genie product should source a qualified
freight forwarder with expertise in preparing,
loading and securing construction and lifting
equipment for international shipment.
Only qualified mobile elevating work platform
operators should move the machine on or off
the truck.
The transport vehicle must be parked on a
level surface.
The transport vehicle must be secured to
prevent rolling while the machine is being
loaded.
Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces
and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand
the machine weight. Genie lifts are very heavy
relative to their size. See the serial label for the
machine weight.
The machine must be on a level surface or
secured before releasing the brakes.
Do not allow the rails to fall when the snap pins
are removed. Maintain a firm grasp on the rails
when the rails are lowered.
Do not drive the machine on a slope that
exceeds the uphill, downhill or side slope rating.
See Driving on a Slope in the Operating
Instructions section.
If the slope of the transport vehicle bed
exceeds the uphill or downhill maximum slope
rating, the machine must be loaded and
unloaded using a winch or forklift as described
in the brake release operation. See the
Specifications section for the slope ratings.
