Test or Replace the Hydraulic Oil
Genie requires that this procedure be performed
every 2000 hours or every two years, whichever
comes first.
Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer
may cause the machine to perform poorly and
continued use may cause component damage.
Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes
to be performed more often. For hydraulic oil
specifications, Refer to Specifications,
Hydraulic
Specifications
.
Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may be
tested by an oil distributor for specific levels of
contamination to verify that changing the oil is
necessary.
If the hydraulic oil is not replaced at
the two year inspection, test the oil quarterly.
Replace the oil when it fails the test.
Note: Perform this procedure on a firm, level
surface with the machine in the stowed position.
1 Open the turntable covers.
2 Disconnect the battery pack from the
machine.
