Do not lower the boom unless the area below is clear of personnel and obstructions.

Limit travel speed according to condition of ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel, and any other factors which may cause collision.

Do not operate a boom in the path of any crane unless the controls of the crane have been locked out and/or precautions have been taken to prevent any potential collision.

No stunt driving or horseplay while operating a machine.

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.

SAFETY RULES

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 Genie Z-45/25 & Genie Z-45/25J Service Manual.

Be sure all decals are in place and legible.

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

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.

Component Damage Hazards

Do not use any battery or charger greater than 12V to jump-start the engine.

Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.

Be sure the hydraulic shutoff valves (located by hydraulic tank) are open before starting the engine.

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.
