Keeping your Genie S-60 or S-65 in peak operating condition starts with the right parts and a solid maintenance routine. Ensure your telescopic boom lift stays in top shape with high-quality toggle assemblies, oil filters, wear pads, and more. The S-60 provides a 60 ft (18.3 m) platform height and 66 ft (20.11 m) working height, while the S-65 extends to 65 ft (19.8 m) platform height and 71 ft (21.6 m) working height. Both models feature robust 4WD capability, up to 750 lb platform capacity (with counterweight configuration), and proportional controls—ideal for industrial, construction, and utility work. Don’t forget to stay on top of your maintenance—secure the parts you need to keep your Genie S-60 or S-65 running smoothly!

Walk-Around Inspection

• Inspect tires for proper inflation (70 psi) and check for visible damage or excessive wear
• Verify platform rails, entry mid-rail, lanyard anchors, and decals are intact and secure
• Inspect for leaks in hydraulic hoses, engine oil, coolant, and fuel systems
• Check battery terminals for corrosion and ensure fluid levels are correct
• Ensure turntable and platform controls function properly and are labeled clearly
• Confirm that structural components and fasteners show no signs of rust, cracks, or damage

Daily Maintenance

• Check engine oil, hydraulic oil, and coolant levels; top off as needed
• Inspect sight gauge on hydraulic tank (oil should be within 2 inches of top of gauge)
• Check tire pressure (70 psi standard, 60 psi for high flotation tires)
• Inspect and clean radiator fins, air filter restriction indicators, and battery terminals
• Test emergency stop, horn, tilt alarm, and all boom functions

Every 250 Hours

• Change engine oil and oil filter
• Inspect hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinder seals for signs of wear or leaks
• Check battery condition, connections, and electrolyte level

Every 500 Hours

• Replace hydraulic return filter
• Replace engine air filter and clean housing
• Inspect drive hub oil and check for debris
• Flush coolant and test for freeze protection and condition

Every 1,000+ Hours

• Drain and replace hydraulic oil
• Service wheel hubs and axles
• Replace fuel filter and sediment bowl

Annual Maintenance

• Inspect all boom pivot pins, platform rotator, and turntable bearings
• Torque wheel lug nuts, drive hubs, and boom connection hardware
• Verify torque on jib boom attachment bolts (S-65)
• Replace decals, labels, or placards as needed for legibility

As-Needed Maintenance

• Use auxiliary lowering system in the event of engine failure
