Part No. 114164 Genie TZ-50 3
Operator's Manual Second Edition • First Printing
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level
indicator. The tilt alarm sounds only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
When the tilt alarm sounds, immediately lower the
boom and adjust the outriggers to level the
machine.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not raise the boom when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed
28 mph / 12.5 m/s when the boom is raised, lower
the boom and do not continue to operate the
machine.
Do not operate the
machine in strong or
gusty winds. Do not
increase the surface
area of the platform or
the load. Increasing the
area exposed to the
wind will decrease
machine stability.
Do not alter or disable machine components that
in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform
without prior written permission from the
manufacturer. Mounting attachments for holding
tools or other materials onto the platform,
toeboards or guard rail system can increase the
weight in the platform and the surface area of the
platform or the load.
Do not transport tools and materials unless they
are evenly distributed and can be safely handled
by person(s) in the platform.

ground controls.
Do not use batteries that weigh less than the
original equipment. Four batteries are used as
counterweight and are critical to machine stability.
Each battery must weigh 65 pounds / 29.5 kg.
