Transport and Lifting Instructions
Observe and Obey:
Genie Industries 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 aerial lift 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 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 exceeds the
maximum slope rating, the machine must be
loaded and unloaded using a winch as
described in the brake release operation.
Brake Release Operation
1 Chock the wheels to
prevent the machine
from rolling.
2 Be sure the winch line is properly secured to the
drive chassis tie points and the path is clear of
all obstructions.
3 Push in the black brake
release knob to open
the brake valve.
4 Pump the red brake release pump knob.
After the machine is loaded:
1 Chock the wheels to prevent the machine from
rolling.
2 Pull out the red Emergency Stop buttons at
both the ground and platform controls to the on
position, and turn the key switch to the platform
position.
3 Press and hold the drive/steer function enable
switch on the control handle. Move the control
handle off center and immediately release it to
reset the brakes.
4 Push the red Emergency Stop button at both
the ground and platform controls to the off

Towing the GR-12, GR-15 and GR-20 is not
