Pre-operation Inspection

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual.

1Avoid hazardous situations.

2Always perform a pre-operation inspection.

Know and understand the pre-operation inspection before going on to the next section.

3Always perform function tests prior to use.

4Inspect the workplace.

5Only use the machine as it was intended.

Fundamentals

It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation nspection and routine maintenance.

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

The pre-operation inspection also serves to determine if routine maintenance procedures are required. Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual may be performed by the operator.

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 pre-operation inspection again before going on to the function tests.

Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be performed by qualified service technicians, according to the manufacturer's specifications and the requirements listed in the responsibilities manual.

Z-34, Z-22IC specifications

The Genie Z-34 and Z-22IC are innovative models in the aerial work platform category known for their versatility and efficiency. These machines are particularly popular for their reach, maneuverability, and suitability for various applications, from construction sites to maintenance tasks.

The Genie Z-34 boasts a working height of 40 feet, allowing operators to access high-reaching areas safely and efficiently. It features a robust platform capacity of 500 lbs, making it capable of handling multiple workers and equipment simultaneously. The Z-34 is designed with advanced drive and lifting systems that ensure smooth operation, even in challenging environments. Its compact design allows it to navigate tight spaces and congested job sites with ease, making it an ideal choice for urban projects.

On the other hand, the Genie Z-22IC, with a working height of approximately 26 feet, is designed for less demanding applications. The Z-22IC is distinguished by its impressive zero-degree turning radius, allowing it to operate in confined spaces without sacrificing performance. It has a maximum platform capacity of 500 lbs, similar to the Z-34, but its smaller footprint enhances its maneuverability, making it particularly suited for indoor work and tight outdoor spaces.

Both models incorporate Genie’s signature technologies, such as the Genie Smart Link system, which provides real-time diagnostics and operational data, helping operators maintain efficiency and safety. The Z-34 and Z-22IC are equipped with advanced hydraulic systems that ensure stability during operation, reducing the likelihood of tipping or accidents.

In terms of power, the Genie Z-34 and Z-22IC can be equipped with either electric or dual-fuel options, providing flexibility based on the job site requirements. The electric models are ideal for indoor use due to their zero emissions, while dual-fuel versions can be deployed for outdoor tasks requiring more power.

Safety is paramount in the design of both aerial platforms. They include features such as automatic leveling, slip-resistant platforms, and emergency stop buttons to enhance worker safety during use. The inclusion of fascia guards and harness attachments ensure compliance with safety regulations and protect the operators.

Overall, the Genie Z-34 and Z-22IC combine advanced technology with practical design, making them indispensable tools in various fields requiring aerial access solutions. With their superior performance, safety features, and ease of use, these models stand out as top choices for professionals seeking efficient and reliable access equipment.
