You can tell a rookie when you see he's surprised to learn the Genie people designed the Z45 [and presumably their other units] to allow the engines to swing out to make it easier to work on them.
We had what looked like a difficult task ahead of us to change out a leaking water pump on the Ford engine. Bolts and clamps were difficult to get at and working space was limited. My son happened to be looking up another procedure online and saw the Genie engine had been swung out from the frame which exposed all those things we needed to get at. Went out to the shop and found the releases on the engine frame , swung it out and the job is now progressing much easier.
