Test Drive and Braking

31 Press down the foot switch.

32Slowly move the drive control handle in the direction indicated by the blue arrow on the control panel until the machine begins to move, then return the handle to the center position.

Result: The machine should move in the direction that the blue arrow points on the drive chassis, then come to an abrupt stop.

33Slowly move the drive control handle in the direction indicated by the yellow arrow on the control panel until the machine begins to move, then return the handle to the center position.

Result: The machine should move in the direction that the yellow arrow points on the drive chassis, then come to an abrupt stop.

Note: The brakes must be able to hold the machine on any slope it is able to climb.

FUNCTION TESTS

Test the Drive Enable System

34 Move the lift/drive select switch to the lift position (if equipped).

35Press down the foot switch and lower the boom to the stowed position.

36 Rotate the turntable until the primary boom moves past one of the non-steer wheels.

Result: The drive enable indicator light should come on and remain on while the boom is anywhere in the range shown.

37 Move the lift/drive select

switch to the drive position (if equipped).

38 Move the drive control handle off center.

Result: The drive function should not operate.

39Move and hold the drive enable toggle switch to either side and slowly move the drive control handle off center.

Result: The drive function should operate.

Note: When the drive enable system is in use, the machine may drive in the opposite direction that the drive and steer control handle is moved.

Use the color-coded direction arrows on the platform

controls and the drive chassis Blue to identify the direction of

travel.

Z-45/25J, Z-45/25 specifications

The Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J are cutting-edge articulating boom lifts designed for versatility, efficiency, and performance in various applications. These machines are essential for reaching elevated work sites, providing operators with the ability to access hard-to-reach areas while ensuring safety and stability.

One of the standout features of the Genie Z-45/25 is its impressive working height, reaching up to 51 feet (15.7 meters), along with a horizontal reach of 25 feet (7.6 meters). The Z-45/25J variant offers similar height capabilities while introducing a new level of flexibility with its J-style arm design, allowing for enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. This is particularly useful in urban environments or areas with overhead obstacles, where traditional lifts may struggle to maximize their reach.

Both models are equipped with a powerful diesel engine that provides the necessary torque and power for outdoor applications, making them ideal for construction sites, maintenance jobs, and other demanding tasks. The reliable engine is complemented by a hydraulic system that delivers smooth operation and responsive control, ensuring that operators can maneuver the boom with precision.

Safety is a paramount concern in aerial lift design, and the Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J exceed industry standards. They feature intuitive operator controls, built-in safety features such as automatic platform leveling, and an anti-bounce system that helps prevent sudden, unexpected movements. Additionally, these models provide operators with a spacious platform that can safely accommodate multiple workers along with their tools and equipment.

The Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J also incorporate advanced technologies, such as the Genie Smart Link system, which enhances communication between the machine and the operator, providing real-time updates on machine status and maintenance needs. This feature contributes to increased uptime and reduced operating costs.

With robust construction and high-quality materials, these boom lifts are designed to withstand harsh environments, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. Their compact size and 4-wheel drive capability allow for easy transport and maneuvering on rough terrain, making them ideal for a variety of job sites.

In summary, the Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J articulating boom lifts represent a blend of advanced technology, high safety standards, and exceptional performance. They are engineered to meet the diverse needs of operators while providing access to challenging work areas, thus ensuring that projects can be completed safely and efficiently.
