Important
Read, understand and obey the safety rules and
operating instructions in the appropriate Operator's
Manual on your machine before attempting any
maintenance procedure.
This manual provides detailed scheduled
maintenance information for the machine owner
and user. It also provides troubleshooting and
repair procedures for qualified service
professionals.
Basic mechanical, hydraulic and electrical
skills are required to perform most procedures.
However, several procedures require specialized
skills, tools, lifting equipment and a suitable
workshop. In these instances, we strongly
recommend that maintenance and repair be
performed at an authorized Genie dealer
service center.

SAFETY RULES
Personal Safety
Any person working on or around a machine must
be aware of all known safety hazards. Personal
safety and the continued safe operation of the
machine should be your top priority.
Read each procedure thoroughly. This
manual and the decals on the machine,
use signal words to identify the following:
Safety alert symbol—used to alert
personnel to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol
to avoid possible injury or death.
Red—used to indicate the
presence of an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Orange—used to indicate the
presence of a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Yellow with safety alert symbol—
used to indicate the presence of a
potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may cause
minor or moderate injury.
Yellow without safety alert
symbol—used to indicate the
presence of a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property
damage.
Green—used to indicate operation
or maintenance information.
Be sure to wear protective eye wear and
other protective clothing if the situation
warrants it.
Be aware of potential crushing hazards
such as moving parts, free swinging or
unsecured components when lifting or
placing loads. Always wear approved steel-toed
shoes.
Workplace Safety
Be sure to keep sparks, flames and
lighted tobacco away from flammable and
combustible materials like battery gases
and engine fuels. Always have an approved fire
extinguisher within easy reach.
Be sure that all tools and working areas
are properly maintained and ready for
use. Keep work surfaces clean and free of
debris that could get into machine components and
cause damage.
Be sure that your workshop or work area
is properly ventilated and well lit.
Be sure any forklift, overhead crane or
other lifting or supporting device is fully
capable of supporting and stabilizing the
weight to be lifted. Use only chains or straps that
are in good condition and of ample capacity.
Be sure that fasteners intended for one
time use (i.e., cotter pins and self-locking
nuts) are not reused. These components
may fail if they are used a second time.
Be sure to properly dispose of old oil or
other fluids. Use an approved container.
Please be environmentally safe .

Valve Coils
How to Test a Coil
A properly functioning coil provides an
electromotive force which operates the solenoid
valve. Critical to normal operation is continuity
within the coil that provides this force field.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with
electrically charged circuits could
result in death or serious injury.
Remove all rings, watches and
other jewelry.
1 Tag and disconnect the wire harness from the
coil to be tested.
2 Test the coil resistance.
Result: The resistance should be within
specification, plus or minus 30%.
Result: If the resistance is not within
specification, plus or minus 30%, replace the
coil.

How to Test a Coil Diode
Genie incorporates spike suppressing diodes in all
of its coils. Properly functioning coil diodes protect
the electrical circuit by suppressing voltage spikes.
Voltage spikes naturally occur within a function
circuit following the interruption of electrical current
to a coil. Faulty diodes can fail to protect the
electrical system, resulting in a tripped circuit
breaker or component damage.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with
electrically charged circuits could
result in death or serious injury.
Remove all rings, watches and
other jewelry.
1 Test the coil for resistance. See 6-5
How to
Test a Coil.
2 Connect a 10Ω resistor to the negative terminal
of a known good 9V DC battery. Connect the
other end of the resistor to a terminal on the
coil.
The battery should read 9V DC or
more when measured across the
terminals.

on the coil.
If testing a single-terminal coil,
connect the negative lead to the
internal metallic ring at either end
of the coil.
5 Momentarily connect the positive lead from the
multimeter to the positive terminal on the 9V
battery. Note and record the current reading.
6 At the battery or coil terminals, reverse the
connections. Note and record the current
reading.
Result: Both current readings are greater than
0 mA and are different by a minimum of 20%.
The coil is good.
Result: If one or both of the current readings are
0 mA, or if the two current readings do not differ
by a minimum of 20%, the coil and/or its
internal diode are faulty and the coil should be
replaced.

Platform Overload System
Calibrate the Platform Overload
System (if equipped)
Perform this procedure with the
machine on a firm, level surface.
1 Raise the platform approximately 2 feet / 70 cm.
2 Tag and disconnect the wire harness from the
load sense limit switch.
The load sense limit switch is
located near the platform support.
3 Set a multi-meter to measure continuity.
Connect the leads from the multi-meter to the
black and red wires disconnected from the limit
switch in step 2.
4 Determine the maximum platform capacity.
Refer to the machine serial plate.
5 Using a suitable lifting device, place an
appropriate test weight equal to that of the
maximum platform capacity at the center of the
platform floor. Refer to Section 2,
Specifications
.
Determine the limit switch trigger point:
6 Gently move the platform up and down by hand,
so it bounces 1 to 2 inches / 2.5 to 5 cm.
7 Check the continuity between the black and red
wires originating from the limit switch of the
platform overload assembly.
Result: There is no continuity. Slowly tighten
the load spring adjustment nut by turning it
clockwise just until the limit switch closes and
shows continuity.
Result: There is continuity. Slowly loosen the
load spring adjustment nut by turning it
counterclockwise just until the limit switch
opens and shows no continuity.
The platform will need to be
continuously moved up and down
while making adjustments.
Fine adjustment of the switch trigger point:
8 Continue moving the platform up and down and
adjust the load spring adjustment nut clockwise
or counterclockwise just until the limit switch is
alternately opening and closing.
When the limit switch is adjusted
correctly, there will be continuity
slightly longer than no continuity.
9 Remove the continuity tester from the limit
switch wires. Securely install the wires onto the
limit switch.

Section 5 • Troubleshooting Flow Charts
Part No. 72965 GR-8 • GR-12 • GR-15 5 - 1
Before Troubleshooting:
Read, understand and obey the safety rules
and operating instructions printed in the
appropriate
Genie Runabout Operator’s
Manual.
Be sure that all necessary tools and test
equipment are available and ready for use.
Read each appropiate flow chart thoroughly.
Attempting shortcuts may produce hazardous
conditions.
Be aware of the following hazards and follow
generally accepted safe workshop practices.
Crushing hazard. When testing
or replacing any hydraulic
component, always support
the structure and secure it
from movement.
Electrocution hazard. Contact
with electrically charged circuits
could result in death or serious
injury. Remove all rings, watches
and other jewelry.
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.
Perform all troubleshooting on a
firm, level surface.
Two persons will be required to
safely perform some
troubleshooting procedures.
Troubleshooting Flow Charts
Observe and Obey:
Troubleshooting and repair procedures shall be

About This Section
When a malfunction is discovered, the flow charts
in this section will help a service professional
pinpoint the cause of the problem. To use this
section, basic hand tools and certain pieces of test
equipment are required—voltmeter, ohmmeter,
pressure gauges.
The location of terminals mentioned in this section
can be found on the appropriate electrical or
hydraulic schematics provided in Section 7,
Schematics
.
Since various degrees of a particular function
loss may occur, selecting the appropriate flow
chart may be troublesome. When a function will not
operate with the same speed or power as a
machine in good working condition, refer to the
flow chart which most closely describes the
problem.
