Failure to locate a worn or damaged contactor
could result in an unsafe working condition and
component damage.

1 Open the hydraulic power unit module tray


and locate the electrical contactor mounted

Replacement of the hydraulic filter is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. A dirty or clogged filter may cause the
machine to perform poorly and continued use may
cause component damage. Extremely dirty
conditions may require that the filter be replaced
more often.

cause severe burns.
The hydraulic filter is mounted on
the function manifold next to the
hydraulic power unit.
1 Clean the area around the hydraulic return
filter, then remove the filter with an oil filter
wrench.
2 Apply a thin layer of oil to the new oil filter
gasket.
3 Install the new filter (Genie part number 55616)
and tighten it securely by hand. Clean up any
oil that may have spilled during the replacement
procedure.

Platform Controller
The platform controller is controlled by an ECM
(Electronic Control Module) located in the power
unit module tray. The ECM aids in troubleshooting
by recognizing machine malfunctions and
displaying fault codes on an LED screen on the
ECM. See the Troubleshooting section of this
manual for a list of fault codes and additional
information. The ECM is not user-serviceable. The
joystick controller is calibrated at the factory and
does not need to be adjusted. For further
information or assistance, consult the Genie
Industries Service Department.
