Start-stall: Genie Boom Lift!

[@emtscythe3782]

I work on this type of equipment quite often and I would say you did an excellent job Ivan. Common sense will carry you a long way. The most common failure I find is the oil pressure switch followed by the alternator, bad grounds and an occasional bad box.

[@jiangmumren5124]

good

[@tecnaman9097]

Working out in the bush is more relaxing for sure than the Staten Island 'Bermuda Triangle'. You used the 2 most important things here:- a wiring diagram and your diagnostic common sense. Enjoyed muchly.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Yup wiring diagram + common sense + scope is sometimes all you need!

[@CubasAutomotive]

I find that if you can work & diagnose a vehicle, you can practically work on anything. I've jumped on tractor trailers, construction equipment, steam rollers, appliances etc and have been successful in repairs. Great video Ivan!

[@rockbottomshow]

Used this video to have the guys troubleshoot our Genie lift in Kazakhstan. Saved them hours of not knowing what to look at. Thanks

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

That's awesome!

[@MrBorntoroll]

First thought was the tachometer input. Great work, Ivan! Thanks for sharing and especially for the follow up with pico and everything )

[@danielcj5]

You sir or a very impressive mechanic. I spent the past three days troubleshooting this exact same problem. I was checking every sensor every switch everything. Final result was a bad alternator. I wish I would have seen this video three days ago!! You made it look too easy. !!! Lol

[@robertdavis6708]

This is the dirty hands stuff I enjoy. Keep them coming Ivan. Really enjoy your reasoning's. Never a dull moment around Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics. " Get them dirty for thirty son", as Dad use to say. Dirty hands and $30.00 an hour labor charge.

[@hitchawk4789]

I had a clue when I saw the low voltage, and another when I saw the number 2 light.....I would still be flapping about though because I don't possess your diagnostic skills,nice work, Ivan! Side-note....In the UK we don't have access to detailed schematics such as wiring diagrams, etc, as you do on your side of the atlantic,, we are all jealous of the support you receive from manufacturers and associated third parties. Thanks :)

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Yes OEM service info is key! Luckily the manual for this Genie was floating about on the internet so it is available worldwide :)

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Respect to you, Sir ! It's a pleasure to watch you work. If I were your dad, I'd be sooo proud.

[@emptech]

I once had the exact same problem, traced it back to the alternator. I full-fielded the alternator, it worked, but something was still wrong. They don't monitor the 12 volts dc but the AC from the alternator to determine that the engine is actually running. I've seen the same technique on automobiles to since if the engine is running, to shut the fuel pump off in case of a crash. Replacing the alternator solved the problem. I didn't finish your video nor the comments, so I assume you came to the same conclusion. I'm working on an S-40 right now, boom travels up very slow, doesn't go all the way up, I'm told that it is slow in going down too. The owner insists that it has sufficient hydraulic fluid. He doesn't have another other complaints, says all else works ok. I haven't started on the job yet, was looking for hints. Thanks for sharing the video, helps us all out - Jim

[@THREESHOTBANDIT]

Great video! I used to be a field tech in the equipment rental business, saw this problem many times, half the time the belt was broke. Those deutzs are air cooled and the alt. belt turns the cooling fan. They're wired up like that so that if it does brake it won't cook the engine. Thanks for the great videos, keep up the good work!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Ah now that makes sense. Self-preserving system!

[@edpavlina]

I truly enjoy watching all of your videos. Thanks for sharing your life and time with the you-tube audience.

[@johnc4352]

Hey Ivan, the first and easiest thing you should do in this situation, and any time you work on an unknown piece of equipment is pull the oil dipstick and make sure there is oil in the engine.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Great advice. Actually applies to just about any situation. If it has a dipstick, check the oil!

[@wyrtwister4260]

Same thing I was thinking . I would have focused on the oil pressure switch / sensor first . Guess I would have been wrong ........ God bless Wyr

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Now you are talking my language with these Genie Boom lifts!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

You have any experience with these contraptions, Mike?

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I have not watched video yet to see what you run into but We have a s60 and a z45/22 that I have done some work on but I also have an expert on them available!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

My expert was watching this with me and he said you did a great job especially without having any experience with working on the machine! Nice diagnoses!

[@andrewwmacfadyen6958]

You dream of Genie ?

[@wyattoneable]

It's a nice confirmation when you can take the principles of electronics and apply them to just about everything. I was thinking it was going to be low on oil and that's why it shut down. Another great video and thank you for returning and showing the fix.

[@kellycain3232]

Thank You!! Our company has a S-45 2002. Your video helped us so much. We installed a new alternator today and it worked perfectly. Again, Thank You

[@Maxxxqc]

Hi , Did your S-45 stall 2-3 seconds after it start ? what engine did you have ? Perkins or Deutz ?

[@fredswearingen5191]

I really liked this video. I’m having a very similar issue with a friends Genie and it’s been rewired a lot before they bought it. You’re troubleshooting is awesome. Thank you!

[@baxrok2.]

I tried to help my nephew diagnose a generator no start with one of these Deutz engines over the phone. It didn't go quite as good as this. lol Loved the opening scene. Well done Ivan and thanks!

[@stuzman52]

Nice diagnostics Ivan! Once you figure out all of the inputs that's needed, The rest is a breeze. It was surprising to see a square wave coming through for the tach. It must be some electronic module inside the alternator to make the conversion. Good work!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

It was actually very reminiscent of my very first video on a charging system on a 1982 BMW motorcycle! Remember that one, Terry?

[@stuzman52]

I do indeed remember that one Ivan where you worked on it in your garage. That was a nice one too :)

[@MrFarmeruk]

Good job glad you got to the bottom of it.. do you have any videos showing the use of the controls starting up and use of the switches..

[@ryanjohnson4239]

I knew the issue as soon as you said what the issue was. Loss of tach signal from the alternator.

[@1kleineMax1]

You just get a like for the Diesel, i work 99% on Diesel and seeing diag aproaches on a start stall is pretty cool... but then you said eurotrash.... about a deutz..... But also tell your neighbour that he is missing a panel that is over the injection valves area left of the alternator, with this on the air from the fan (around the alternator) gets directed over the engine block and helps to keep it cool. This engine has no water cooling and is only cooled by the oil and air.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Oh please don't take that too seriously! It was just a joke. I have much more respect for this machine than any of the modern Audi/VW/Mercedes/BMW etc. that are just not built to last anymore, and cost a fortune to repair. That metal panel we removed just to get to the back of the alternator to do the wiring checks. Interesting that this engine is air and oil cooled, I did not know that. I really appreciate the honest feedback :)

[@quitteable]

I'm about to pay 45€ for a PCV valve. V.A.G. parts I can get cheap and decent quality without an issue. I guess it helps being in Germany to get German car parts.

good diag Ivan soon I saw the 10 volts new had to do something with this shut off, but without proper diagnostic as you did would need to confirm this without guess work, u were spot on ,thanks this is a keeper even our cars trying to run with 10 volts computers will act up and hard starting or prolonged starting issue, in this case its a lockout system especially booms and tractors for safety reasons thanks Sal

[@Iprofessshirk]

Awesome video! Exact same symptoms on a Genie Z-45-25J (same Deutz diesel engine) in Belize where nobody knows how to work on these things and importing unnecessary parts is time consuming & costly (import duties are crazy!). This was very helpful for me, thanks!

[@jimzivny1554]

Good video. Thanks for showing and explaining the picoscope in your videos, I'm disabled and got out of the business about 10yrs ago and I miss keeping up with the newer technology, I still work on my own and friends vehicles when possible and your videos are helping me catch up. In a few months when I add a scope to my arsenal of tools I may have questions. In the meantime I have a problem with my knee, could you.. never mind. LOL Thanks for sharing all your knowledge

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Comments like this are really inspiring. I hope your knee feels better very soon!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Oh yes the Lada Niva is legendary! The conditions would have to be much, much worse to stop a Niva :)

[@classicwefi]

Awesome diag it's sometimes fun to diagnose problems on non automotive equipment .

[@haywardsautomotive6156]

Wow nice diagnosis Ivan. I was thinking you'd find no oil pressure signal voltage or no oil but an alternator tach signal is pretty sweet. Best equipment on aircraft I ever used in the Air Force & Lockheed was German equipment especially the newer digital equipment. Looks like Keith has plans for you next visit on on a Euro...HAHA sorry!!

[@calholli]

First thing -- check the oil. They usually have a low oil shut off and your oil pressure gauge looked pretty low at start up.

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Proper diagnosis is key to any repair. Anyone can fire the Parts Cannon, and waste money and labor- but a definitive cause/solution is well worth the money. I like your spare wheel cover- really sharp, but not loud like vinyl or magnet decals. Plus- you get to sneak around without Commercial tolls in NYC.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Commercial tolls in NYC? Man those people will figure out how to charge you for each individual hair on your own head!

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

[@rjostler5211]

Its the alternator or the alternator diode for it to run it has to see over 12 volts. I could tell when he started it.

[@gouveiaclassicos]

I was scteeming at the computer the alternator is not charging and I was right at list 25 years of expirience working as an eletricion from cars to constrution equipment very good video

[@jonhagan7378]

I've watched so much South Main Auto I actually say out loud "always check your ground" every time I connect a light or a meter haha.

[@toamataafa4647]

Again..you're a genius Ivan..Aloha.

[@mikeyp.3273]

Gotta check the belt. It is designed to shut off if the belt is broken and the way it dose that is through the alternator.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Belt was just fine 👍

[@richardcranium5839]

ivan welcome to the world of genie. a lot of one off missfit crap cobbled together. not suprising at all that alternator is different. a lot of times when you get a part you get a kit to make the new part work or fit. always call them to order parts have the serial number and any numbers on the part you are replacing redily available. dont just order from the internet. those things have safety systems for the safety systems. then you have boom and ground controls. always check both . it may work one way not the other. also always check the level sensor bubble.if its off some things wont work or are working at a reduced rate. would love to see you troubleshoot a rotate circuit with the pico. you had the diesel. i pulled my hair out on a gas/lpg with the ford engine. good job though

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Wow you must have had some fun experiences with these things lol

[@richardcranium5839]

yeah lots. nothing more fun than being fully extended on a s65 and have a complete wiring meltdown with no one on the ground that can follow directions. it gets real windy up there and those things sway big time lol

[@geraldolmstead1335]

This to me is one of your better videos thank you'

[@brentonheller8849]

There's no oil pressure, you can see that on the gauge. Has a shut off for low oil, no tach, or hi temp. Those are the three things genie sets in the programing to save your engine.

[@seabee460]

I've replaced plenty of these deutz alternators because of no power failures, stop start issues. very common failure.

[@Cchange4us]

Valeo is the manufacturer of my vehicle BCU computer... imagine how i feel. thing breaks down every damn month.

[@theoldwizard998]

Ivan, I think you can fix a rainy day !

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually I had to speed up the diagnosis as it was just about to rain haha

[@johnwilliamson2393]

I'm commenting before anything, but my guess is check for alternator putting out, and oil pressure. There is a computer in lower control box that will shutdown engine during a fault.

[@johnwilliamson2393]

Yup. Voltmeter dead on startup. I've done so many of those. Pain in the ass.

Got a question for you,genie boom lift S40 1998 I think it was.Powered by a gasoline engine.Problem was that some times after the machine was warmed up good boom extended about half way,with about 300 pounds of weight in the basket when operator tried to boom up sometimes the boom would drop.Scary as all get out.We changed hydraulic oil,filters.Flushed the hydraulic system,checked all the hydraulic system operating pressures.Rep from vendor sent a man out,he could not find problem.Company that owned machine fine,got a new machine.What else do you think we should have checked?

[@emptech]

Six years later, don't see a response to your question, I'm working on an S-40, have a similar problem, haven't gotten into it yet. Acts if though it is low on fluid, but the owner claims the tank is full. When I solve the problem, I'll try to post it for others - Jim

Fuel solenoid! Kind of like that Massey Ferguson I did not too long ago...maybe I should make a "Tractor/Diesel" playlist? :)

[@fieldsofomagh]

I can feel that song coming on "Davy ,Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier"

[@davidcraven277]

I work on a lot of these deutz engines for some reason they run the tech signal off of the alt

[@johnwilliamson2393]

So when you're up in the air, it shuts the engine off to prevent running battery down. That way you can bring it down with emergency battery power. If it stayed running, the fuel solenoid would kill that battery sticking you up in the air!

[@R.E.HILL_]

nice one. very enjoyable to watch. thx for sharing.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

My pleasure!

[@trevormangus7832]

When video started and you started this thing the very first time you missed the fact that the voltage was only at 10 V and didn't have enough voltage for the electronics to work that should've keyed you in instantly to an alternator or a bad battery

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Low voltage itself actually had nothing to do with the engine stalling. Well not directly in this case :) But you are right, it was definitely a good clue!

[@mechanic_marky]

I am only at the 3 minute mark but these machines have an exciter wire on the alternator. The alternators on these things are crazy expensive too. If the machine doesnt get the signal from the alternator then it will die, like yours is.

I think it was like $700 retail lol

It wasn't much better after the repair either. Never trust an analog meter!

[@leebarnes655]

To be fair it was dampened to a very high degree which is why I said oh boy when you said you going to check it's voltage with the pico. But then you run into a newly found waveform on the alternator and never do get around to seeing what battery voltage actually is/was/were. Still a very nice capture of the defective device - I would have been going around in circles on the oil pressure switch with LED 10 dropping out seconds before the engine was shutting down. And that's 'normal' behavior = me slid into the ditch for sure. I'm still there in fact, anybody got a tow rope?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Look close at 22:45. I do get a good system voltage reading of 13.75V! Sorry if I kind of glossed over that too quickly :)

[@leebarnes655]

No apology need Ivan, I'm clearly the one that was distracted at that time frame by lord only knows what. Completely missed it, sorry to bother you with it. And thinking about LED 10 issue further, it's clearly mislabeled - it should say oil idiot light instead and then it's behavior makes sense to me. I was thinking there was actually intelligence involved. Lipstick on the pig with a fancy dress (official looking LED break out box with new fangled up name) and I didn't know who I was even dancing with. All good now, thanks Ivan. You sure have a gift for this and I love watching the twists and turns develop on these oddball cases. You also have a knack for finding oddball cases. :)

@@ramdodgetruck1177 Alternators are actually three phase generators. The three phase voltage goes through a full wave rectifier, which ends up supplying the 12 volts DC. If one phase is sampled, by it's presence means the engine is running. It's not really meant to be a tachometer signal but in this case it's been sampled to check if the engine is actually running, a safety thing. Jim

Should work, any signal with an amplitude of more than 9-10V will be suitable for tachometer. Maybe even less than 9 volts, I do not know this specific driver, but at the input are systems with high tolerance for input voltage fluctuations.
