Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque Specifications

Your machine is equipped with either 37° flared fittings and hose ends OR Parker Seal-Lok® fittings and
hose ends. Machines that utilize Parker Seal-Lok® hoses and fittings require that the fittings and hose
ends be torqued to specification when they are removed and installed or when new hoses or fittings are
installed. Machines equipped with 37° flared fittings and hose ends do not need to be torqued to these
specifications.

Platform Controller
The platform controller is controlled by an ECM
(Electronic Control Module) located in the battery
pack module tray. It is a fully self-contained unit
which is capable of recognizing machine
malfunctions with on-board diagnostics and
displays a fault code on a digital display on the
ECM. This aids in troubleshooting the machine by
pinpointing the fault or malfunction. See the
Troubleshooting section of this manual for a list of
fault codes and additional information. The ECM is
not user-serviceable. For further information or
assistance, consult the Genie Industries Service
Department.
