Hello thanks in advance to anyone that helps or at least sheds light on subject many thanks indeed!
I have a genie S45 when you bleed (Purge)the air from self leveling circuit after a week or so the basket will not self level.. Bleed the air is re fine another week or so then no self level again so on so forth... Where can air be getting into the closed circuit at? Manual level up and down both work correctly

How are you bleeding the air from the circuit?

Most the genies I see that won't auto level the basket are due to bad counter balance valves in the main control valve.

Yes I agree..I havnt replaced the CBV's but have cleaned,resealed,etc etc..(w/ reseal kit directly from genie)..
To bleed I raise boom all the way up until lift cylinder dead heads then cycle the platform level function all the way up then all way down for 2 complete cycles.. All this is down with aux power engine not running
