PROCEDURES

Replace the Hydraulic Tank
Return Filter
Genie requires that this procedure be performed
every 1000 hours or annually, whichever comes
first.
Replacement of the hydraulic tank return filter is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. A dirty or clogged filter may cause the
machine to perform poorly and continued use may
cause component damage. Extremely dirty
conditions may require that the filter be replaced
more often.
Bodily injury hazard. Beware of
hot oil. Contact with hot oil may
cause severe burns.
1 Remove the filter with an oil filter wrench. Clean
the area where the hydraulic oil filter meets the
filter head.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to squirt
or spray.
Note: The hydraulic filter is mounted on the
hydraulic tank.
2 Apply a thin layer of fresh oil to the new oil filter
gasket.
3 Install the new filter and tighten it securely by
hand.
4 Use a permanent ink marker to write the date
and number of hours from the hour meter on
the filter.
5 Clean up any oil that may have spilled during
the replacement procedure.
6 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. Start the engine.
7 Raise the platform approximately 3 feet / 1 m.
8 Inspect the filter and related components to
be sure that there are no leaks.
