SAFETY RULES

Fall Hazards

Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step.
Do not stand on the load handling attachments.
Do not climb on the mast.

Tip-over Hazards

Do not raise the load unless the stabilizers (if
equipped) and legs have been fully lowered and
locked and the casters are in full contact with the
ground.

Do not raise the load unless
the leg retainer pins are
properly inserted through
the leg and the base.

Do not remove the leg
retainer pins while the
machine is loaded and/or
raised.

Do not raise the load unless the machine is on a
firm, level surface.

Do not raise the load unless
the load handling
attachment is properly
secured to the machine.

Do not use blocks to level
the machine.

Do not move the machine
with a raised load, except
for minor positioning.

Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Increasing the load surface area will
decrease machine stability in windy conditions.

Do not leave a load raised when windy conditions
may occur unless the machine(s) are properly guy­wired.

Do not exceed the rated load capacity. See Load
Capacity Charts section.

Avoid debris and uneven surfaces while rolling a
machine with the legs folded up.

Do not replace machine parts critical to stability or
structure with items of different weight or

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation

inspection.

Know and understand the pre-operation

inspection before going on to the next
section.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

Operator's ManualFirst Edition • Eighth Printing

Pre-operation Inspection

Fundamentals

The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
This inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator tests it.

Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items.

If damage or any unauthorized variation from
factory delivered condition is discovered, the
machine must be tagged and removed from
service.

Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a pre­operation inspection again before going on to the
function tests.

4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Part No. 33547 Genie Superlift Contractor 7

Fundamentals

The function tests are designed to discover any
malfunctions before the machine is put into service.
The operator must follow the step-by-step
instructions to test all machine functions.

A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If
malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be
tagged and removed from service. Repairs to the
machine may only be made by a qualified service
technician, according to the manufacturer's
specifications.

After repairs are completed, the operator must
perform a pre-operation inspection and function
tests again before putting the machine into service.

Workplace Inspection

Be aware of and avoid the following hazardous
situations:

· drop-offs or holes

· bumps and floor obstructions

· debris

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator's

manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation

inspection.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.
Know and understand the workplace

inspection before going on to the next

section.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Fundamentals

The workplace inspection helps the operator
determine if the workplace is suitable for safe
machine operation. It should be performed by the
operator prior to moving the machine to the
workplace.

· overhead obstructions and high voltage
conductors

· hazardous locations

· sloped surfaces

· unstable or slippery surfaces

· inadequate surface support to withstand all
load forces imposed by the machine

· wind and weather conditions

· all other possible unsafe conditions

It is the operator's responsibility to read and
remember the workplace hazards, then watch for
and avoid them while moving, setting up and
operating the machine.

Part No. 33547 Genie Superlift Contractor 13

Operating Instructions

Fundamentals

The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator's
manual.

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator's

manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation

inspection.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

Using the machine for anything other than lifting
material is unsafe.

If more than one operator is expected to use a
machine at different times in the same work shift,
each operator is expected to follow all safety rules
and instructions in the operator's manual. That
means every new operator should perform a pre­operation inspection, function tests and a workplace
inspection before using the machine.

4 Inspect the workplace.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setup

Select an area that is firm, level and free of
obstructions.

Follow the Setup procedures in the Function Tests
section.

Raising and Lowering Load

1 Center the load on the load handling attachment.

See Load Capacity Charts section.

2 Make sure the load is properly secured to the

load handling attachment.

3 Raise the load by

firmly grasping the
winch handles and
rotating them toward
the mast. Do not
allow the cable to
wind unevenly onto
the drum.

4 Lower the load by

firmly grasping the
winch handles and
rotating them away from the mast. After
lowering to the desired position, turn the winch
handles toward the mast (raise the load) 1/4 turn
to set the brake.

Moving Machine with a Load

It is best to move the machine on the worksite with
no load. Moving a raised load should be restricted
to positioning for loading and unloading. If it is
necessary to move the machine with a raised load,
understand and obey the following safety rules:

· Make sure the area is level and clear of
obstructions.

· Make sure the load is centered on the load
handling attachment.

· Make sure the load is secured to the load
handling attachment.

· Avoid sudden starts and stops.

· Travel with the load in the lowest possible
position.

· Keep personnel away from the machine and
load.

After Each Use

To prepare the machine for storage, follow the
Setup procedure in reverse order.

Select a safe storage location - firm level surface,
weather protected, clear of obstruction and traffic.

Load Capacity Charts

Forks
Load Positioning Instructions

1 Determine the weight of the load and the

location of its load center.

Observe and Obey:

Failure to properly position the load may result in

death or serious injury.

Verify that the load you wish to raise does not

exceed the maximum load for your load center.
See Load Capacity Chart section.

Tip-over hazard. Raising a load
that exceeds the machine's
capacity may result in death or
serious injury.

A load center is defined as the balancing point

(center of gravity) of a load and must be
positioned within the load center zone.

Tip-over hazard. Failure to position
the load center within the load
center zone may result in death or
serious injury.

2 Measure to the load center from the side of the

load that will be closest to the carriage.

3 Refer to the chart on the next page to determine

if the machine is capable of lifting the weight at
the location on the forks.

4 Place the load so that it rests on the forks, as

close to the carriage as possible.
