Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway or sag and beware of strong or gusty winds.

Keep away from the machine if it contacts energized power lines. Personnel on the ground or in the platform must not touch or operate the machine until energized power lines are shut off.

Do not operate the machine during lightning or storms.

Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.

Tip-over Hazards

Occupants, equipment and materials shall not exceed the maximum platform capacity.

The weight of options and accessories, such as pipe cradles, panel cradles and welders, will reduce the rated platform capacity and must be factored into the total platform load. See the decals on the options.

Do not raise or extend the boom unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.

Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator. The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the machine is on a severe slope.

If the tilt alarm sounds:

Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level surface before raising the platform. If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme caution to retract the boom and lower the platform. Do not rotate the boom while lowering. Move the machine to a firm, level surface before raising the platform.

Do not alter or disable the limit switches.

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.
