    Genie z-60/34 ... fwd drive only after turret rebuild.

    Problem fixed! the tech who rebuilt the rotary put two fitting in the wrong holes, so when the mech put the machine back together the hoses were on the right fittings, but the wrong ports! Operationally checked: OK. Thanks for your help VoodooMojo!

    Genie z-60/34 ... fwd drive only after turret rebuild.

    So you were absolutely right. I was sure the problem would be under carriage, but it was right there in the open- in a place I though no one had worked on, and that they couldn't easily get wrong. If the books Hydraulic rotary coupler view is Birdseye and the reliable index is the #3 APU...

    I was not a part of it, but he installed a shinny new turret bearing with Gear teeth on the outside, so your right they would have had to split the machine in half. Yes, Both hubs... though one leaks marginally more than the other. I will have to go check which one. It does drive fairly well in...

    Genie z-60/34 ... fwd drive only after turret rebuild.

    it is a 1995 Serial # z60-401 2 wheel drive unit. The mechanic that took it apart and put it mostly back together died during completion, and although a great guy, was unfortunately not a "picture taking and tagging" mechanic. Everything (that i have checked) except the drive systems work...

    Genie z-60/34 ... fwd drive only after turret rebuild.

    Thanks Wille59. I have the parts and electrical pdf manuals.. . but the parts manual does not have a visual flow breakout for the manifold. There is a flow/hose schematic outside of the manifold, just not inside it. I may be SOL. for that on this machine.

    Genie S60

    boy! that boom rigging is a big job. Hopefully you can get a helper a decent height hoist and a couple of small wenches/comealongs to get it back together.

    Genie z-60/34 ... fwd drive only after turret rebuild.

    Checked out all ground and ariel systems; all systems check out except Drive system. Problem: When forward drive engaged, booms moves and turns. When reverse drive is engaged fluid comes out of drive motor end seals (assuming from over pressure relief). When controls are released fluid still...

    Pointers on blowing a pull string through conduit

    I use the same string with cat-6. It works great, but your have to lube it in long pulls that are in tight conduit or it will cut into your jacket as it stretches/contracts.
