SAFETY RULES

Explosion and Fire Hazards

Do not start the engine if you smell or detect liquid petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline, diesel fuel or other explosive substances.

Do not refuel the machine with the engine running.

Refuel the machine and charge the battery only in an open, well-ventilated area away from sparks, flames and lighted tobacco.

Do not operate the machine in hazardous locations or locations where potentially flammable or explosive gases or particles may be present.

Do not spray ether into engines equipped with glow plugs.

Damaged Machine Hazards

Do not use a damaged or malfunctioning machine.

Conduct a thorough pre-operation inspection of the machine and test all functions before each work shift. Immediately tag and remove from service a damaged or malfunctioning machine.

Be sure all maintenance has been performed as specified in this manual and the appropriate service manual.

Be sure all decals are in place and legible.

Be sure the operator’s, safety and responsibilities manuals are complete, legible and in the storage container located on the platform.

Bodily Injury Hazard

Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil or air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can penetrate and/or burn skin.

Always operate the machine in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Improper contact with components under any cover will cause serious injury. Only trained maintenance personnel should access compartments. Access by the operator is only advised when performing a pre-operation inspection. All compartments must remain closed and secured during operation.

Battery Safety

Burn Hazards

Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective clothing and eyewear when working with batteries.

Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

Explosion Hazard

Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit explosive gas.

Electrocution Hazard

Avoid contact with electrical terminals.

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.
