Genie has received reports of machine serial labels printed with incorrect “Machine Unladen Weight” value and control systems have flawed programming. The “Machine Unladen Weight” value printed on the serial label is significantly different from the actual machine weight. This can result in incorrect conclusions regarding the floor loading effects of the machine. Incorrect floor loading information may result in the user operating the machine on a surface that is not capable of supporting the machine weight.
Also, Genie has determined that a malfunction in the control system in the above referenced machines can occur. This malfunction follows a brief, time dependent interval between actuating the turn function and drive function and enable release from the platform controls. If this occurs, it can result in unintended machine movement.
