Genesis GXT Mobile Shear

Performing scheduled maintenance will promote safe, reliable operation of your shear. Inspect and
grease components every eight hours of operation, as indicated on the following checklist. Use
maintenance procedures described in this manual. If you are not able to safely and competently
perform these procedures, have a Genesis dealer perform them.
After the first
80 hours
of operation, check all bolts, including slewing ring bolts.
Change gearbox lube after first
50 hours
of operation.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Operating the shear with excessively worn blades, blade gaps or main bearings could lead to
premature cylinder failure. Excessive deflection of the upper jaw from these conditions will transfer
side loading forces to the cylinder piston and barrel, which causes undue pressure on the wear
bands of the piston, potentially resulting in cylinder failure.
Pounding the upper jaw lever arm or cylinder clevis on the ground or a hard object to clear a
material jam can cause high pressure hydraulic spikes to the shear and excavator which can
damage the hydraulic system components. These spikes can damage the cylinder piston seals,
which will allow oil to bypass and wash out the piston wear bands, resulting in premature and
possibly catastrophic system failures.
Scheduled Maintenance
3
Check gearbox lube every 250 hours. Change annually.
3
Replace regeneration valve components every 4000 hours.
3
Reseal cylinder at 2 years or 4000 hours, whichever occurs first, the first time; 18 months
or 3000 hours for all following reseals. In severe-duty applications or if operating the shear
more than 10 hours per day, reduce these intervals.
3
Reseal swivel every 2 years or at the time of cylinder resealing.
Extreme operating conditions may require shortened
maintenance intervals.
