Battery condition will affect the ability of the machine to climb a slope. Genie Z-34/22 & Genie Z-34/22N PartNo.43654 Second Edition • Ninth Printing Operator's Manual Driving on a slope Determine the uphill, downhill and side slope ratings for the machine and determine the slope grade. Maximum slope rating, counterweight uphill (gradeability): 20% (11°) Maximum slope rating, counterweight downhill: 20% (11°) Maximum side slope rating: 20% (11°) Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions and adequate traction. The term gradeability applies to the counterweight uphill configuration only. Be sure the boom is below horizontal and the platform is between the non-steer tires. To determine the slope grade: Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR use the following procedure. You will need: carpenter’s level straight piece of wood, at least 3 feet / 1 m long tape measure Lay the piece of wood on the slope. At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge of the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece of wood is level. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS While holding the piece of wood level, measure the vertical distance from the bottom of the piece of wood to the ground. Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by 100. Example: run rise Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m) Run = 144 inches (3.6 m) Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m) 12 in . 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade 0.3 m . 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3 % grade If the slope exceeds the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating, then the machine must be winched or transported up or down the slope. See Transport and Lifting Instructions section. PartNo.43654 Genie Z-34/22 & Genie Z-34/22N Operator's Manual Second Edition • Ninth Printing OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Driving Up/Down Slopes Drive/Brake Control Theory Brakes release progressively as the drive control handle is moved out of neutral in either direction. Brakes apply progressively as the drive control handle is moved toward the neutral position. If the machine is on a slope, the progressive release/ application of the brakes combined with torque from the drive motors allows you to control the speed of the machine. For this reason, in some circumstances it is more effective to drive down a sloped surface by moving the drive control handle in the uphill direction. This is called “plug braking.” Apply these principles for driving on a slope by following the instructions below. Driving up a slope Be sure the platform is fully lowered and the platform is between the drive wheels. Be sure the wheels are aligned up and down the slope. 1 Press down the foot switch. 2 Move the drive control handle firmly. When stopped on a slope, the machine may initially move slightly downhill when the drive control handle is moved to drive up the slope. Be sure the area behind the machine is clear. Driving down a slope Be sure the platform is fully lowered and the platform is between the drive wheels. Be sure the wheels are aligned up and down the slope. 1 Position the steer wheels on the downhill side of slope. 2 Press down the foot switch. 3 On steeper slopes, it may be more effective to move the drive control handle in the uphill direction (plug braking) in order to drive downhill. For this reason, no matter what slope you are on, always begin the process of driving downhill by slowly moving the drive control handle in the uphill direction. Use small movements of the drive control handle to control the machine speed. If the machine moves uphill instead of downhill, the slope is too small to use plug braking. Move the drive control handle back to the neutral position to apply the brakes and proceed as follows: 4 Slowly move the drive control handle downhill. Use small movements of the drive control handle to control the machine speed. To stop the machine completely, return the drive control handle to the center (neutral position). The machine can also be stopped by removing your foot from the foot switch or pushing in the red Emergency Stop button. If machine speed exceeds 3 mph / 4.8 km/h (walking pace), immediately stop the machine. Genie Z-34/22 & Genie Z-34/22N PartNo.43654 Second Edition • Ninth Printing Operator's Manual Drive Enable Light on indicates that the boom has moved past either non-steer wheel and the drive function has been interrupted. To drive, hold the drive enable switch up or down and slowly move the drive control handle off center. Be aware that the machine may move in the opposite direction that the drive and steer controls are moved. Always use the color-coded direction arrows on the platform controls and the drive chassis to identify the direction the machine will travel. Low Battery Indicator Light Flashing light indicates battery power is low and the batteries need to be charged. There is adequate power left to lower the boom and move the machine to a location where the batteries can be charged. Light on indicates the batteries are fully discha...
