Issue:
Genie has determined that the control system utilized on the above referenced machines can malfunction. A
malfunctioning control system can result in the issues listed below:
GS-3232: This control system malfunction allows the operator to lift and drive the machine with the
platform raised above the maximum allowable travel height of 22 ft / 6.7 m. A ma chine that is driven with
the platform raised above 22 ft / 6.7 m can cause the machine to lose stability resulting in a tip
over.
Note: This Safety Notice supersedes Safety Notice 120013 issued on October 15, 2012.
GS-4047 and X-14: This control system malfunction can cause the platform to lower after the controls are
released, resulting in unintended machine movement. Unintended machine movement can result in a
hazardous situation.
Action(s) Required:
1 Locate the affected machines referenced in tables 1a and 1b on pages 2 and 3 within your fleet.
2 Using tables 1a and 1b, determine the appropriate action for your machine.
