Qualified trainers shall provide proof of training to
all successful trainees. The document evidencing
training shall include the following information:
The name of the person (operator) being
trained or retrained.
The name of the organization providing
training or retraining.
The name of the trainer(s).
Clear identification that the training covered
the applications contained in this

Safety Rules
Safety Rules
• All operating instructions and warnings
contained in the Operator’s Manual, Safety
Manual (ANSI markets) and Manual of
Responsibilities (ANSI markets), and on decals
found on the particular Genie aerial lift, must be
followed.
Danger
Failure to comply with the following
requirements will result in death or
serious injury.
Modification of the Approved Models for use
by attachment of lights, light mounting
hardware, camera mounting hardware and light
diffusion frames (LDFs) to the platform guard
rail is authorized by Genie only if the following
rules and requirements are strictly followed:
• Operators must have completed training for the
attachment of lighting or camera equipment
and LDFs to the platform guard rail. Training
must include, but not be limited to, information
regarding the effect on platform capacity and
stability resulting from the attachment of
equipment to the platform guard rail or to the
boom of the aerial lift, and hazards associated
with this application.
• The aerial lift must be operated only on a firm,
level surface.
• Operators must be trained and be able to
demonstrate proficiency in the operation of the
specific model of Genie aerial lift being
operated.
• Genie booms are not insulated. Precautions
shall be taken to protect the operator and
people on the ground from electrocution
hazards. The attachment of power supply
cables to the boom shall not restrict the
movement of the aerial lift or endanger the
operator or people on the ground.
• Attachment of power supply cables to the boom
shall be accomplished in a manner that does
not cause a tip-over hazard due to a side or
vertical force that could result in the machine
becoming unstable.
• Power supply cables must be attached to the
end of each boom section in a manner that
ensures the cable cannot be damaged from
tensioning, pinching or crushing when the
boom is operated.

Safety Rules
• LDFs hung from the platform guard rail must
not be rigidly attached in any manner that could
cause or impose a side or vertical load from
wind or contact with adjacent objects greater
than the rated side load posted at the entrance
to the platform.
• Attachment of LDFs and rope to the platform
shall be accomplished in a manner that does
not cause a tip-over hazard due to a side or
vertical force that could result in the machine
becoming unstable.
• Do not alter the guard rail system by drilling,
welding, crushing, damaging or making any
other modifications that compromise the
strength of the guard rail when attaching movie
production equipment.
• The entrance to the platform, the platform
controls, including the foot switch and the
emergency stop button, the lanyard anchorage
points, the platform decals and instruction
container must remain accessible when movie
production equipment is attached to the
platform.
• Operators must not gain access to or exit the
platform by means of walking or climbing on
the boom or lift structure or by attaching a rope
or a hanging ladder from the platform or its
supporting structure. Access to and exit from
the platform shall be accomplished at ground
level only.
• The combined weight of platform attachments,
power supply cables, mounting hardware,
platform occupant(s), tools and equipment
must in all cases remain less than the
maximum rated platform capacity for both
personnel lifting and material only lifting
applications. Use the platform capacity
reduction chart found in this supplement to
determine allowable platform load.
• The number and size of attachments must be
limited by consideration of the maximum
allowable wind speed and the surface area of
platform attachments. Use the wind speed
chart found in this supplement to determine
maximum allowable wind speed.
• Information regarding the attachment of LDFs
and lighting and camera equipment shall be
supplied only to trained union members.
Operators must be familiar with these
supplemental instructions and warnings before
they are allowed to operate any Genie boom
that is approved for this application.
• The grips panel must be mounted in a way that
the center of gravity of the frame is always
located below the platform floor.
• An accurate wind speed measuring device,
such as an anemometer, must be used to
measure the wind speed if the wind speed
charts are to be used.

Tip Over Hazard
Platform Capacity Reduction
Platform Ca paci ty R ed ucti on
For Determining the Reduction In
Platform Capacity Due To
Attachment Of Movie Production
Equipment To Genie Boom
Platforms
Exceeding the recommended load
restrictions of the platform by
attaching movie production
equipment will result in the boom
becoming unstable and will result in
death or serious injury. Always
calculate the reduction of the
platform capacity caused by
attachment of more production
equipment.
Theory:
Platform maximum capacity is based on an evenly
distributed load. When movie production
equipment, such as light diffusion frames, set
lighting and camera mounts, are attached to the
front of the platform (entry side), the platform
capacity is reduced by more than the weight of the
equipment. The farther the equipment is mounted
from the center of the platform, the greater the
reduction in platform capacity.
Reduce platform capacity according to the
following:
• Attachment of power supply cables to the boom
reduces the platform capacity. Subtract the
total suspended weight of cables and rigging
from the rated platform capacity.
• Subtract the load applied to the platform by the
attachment of additional movie production
equipment (as shown in Illustration 1) by using
the procedure and the Platform Capacity
Reduction Chart.
• No additional load above rated platform
capacity is allowed. Personnel and payload
(with adjustment per Platform Capacity
Reduction Chart) must not exceed the load
shown in the appropriate Operator's Manual
and Decals for your machine.
How to use this chart
Follow these steps for each piece of equipment
attached to the platform.
1 Locate the weight of your equipment in the first
column on the chart. Always round up to the
next number.
Definition:
Center of Gravity (C.G.): The balance point of an
object. The point at which the entire weight of an
object is concentrated so that if the object is
suspended from that point, it will be balanced.

2 Measure the distance from the back toeboard
to the center of gravity of the equipment
(distance A or distance B). This is the load
center. Refer to Illustration 1.

5 Center of gravity of diffusion frame
1 From these numbers, determine the total load
of your equipment on the platform.
Personnel lifting applications: Subtract this
number from the maximum platform capacity
of the machine, as defined in the appropriate
machine operator's manual and decals, to
determine the remaining platform capacity.
Example: Lighting equipment and the mounting
bracket used to attach it to the guard rail weigh
167 lbs/76 kgs. Their center of gravity (balance
point) is located at 35 in/0.8 m from the back toeboard. Because the load is concentrated at the
front guard rail, its effect on capacity is greater
than a distributed load. The chart tells us that the
reduction in capacity is 234 lbs/106 kgs. On a
platform with a 500 lbs/227 kgs capacity, the
remaining capacity is 266 lbs (500-234=266) or
121 kgs (227-106=121).
