Genie TZ-50: Electrical
Affects Genie TZ-50 · 2004–2005 — about 24 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain trailer mounted, articulating boom supported, aerial work platforms, the outriggers (stabilizers) can function when the machine is not in a fully stowed position. The down limit switch and its location on the machine allow the switch to be activated when it comes in contact with the boom arm, making it possible to raise the outriggers while the platform is elevated, increasing the risk of injury to the operator. Correction: Dealers will replace the limit switch.
