    Takeuchi hydraulic fluid?

    You can't go wrong by using what Takeuchi recommends. Takeuchi says you can use 10w30 or 10w40 diesel engine oil. Use the thicker oil if you're not in a cold climate.

    Genie Z-45XC Won't Start

    Canbus is usually a pair of wiring used for communication between modules. I'd Start by checking connections/harnesses for corrosion.

    Not sure what year machine you have. But on newer machines, you can go into ground control computer display(hidden menu) , and adjust drive and lift parameters. Go to genies website and download service manuals for your machine.
