28 Genie TMZ-34/19 Part No. 97866

Operator's Manual Fourth Edition • First Printing

When passing other vehicles, be sure to leave

enough room for the extra length of the trailer. You

will need to go much farther beyond the passed

vehicle before you can return to your lane.

When turning with a trailer, avoid jerky or sudden

movements.

Inspect all connections at each stop. Use the

checklist provided on the back cover of this

manual.

Moving Machine Without a Tow

Vehicle

Do not attempt to manually move a machine unless

it is on a firm, level surface. Use the parking brake

to control the speed of the machine while moving it.

Backing Up with Trailer

(if equipped with surge brake)

Surge brake systems are optional equipment on the

Genie TMZ. If your machine is equipped with a

surge brake, the system must be released before

backing up.

Consult the surge brake system manual for specific

instructions on each surge brake.

Be sure that the machine is returned to towing or

operating configuration when finished.

Towing Information

Use the checklist provided on the back cover of

this manual before towing and while on the road.

Driving a vehicle/trailer combination is different

from driving a vehicle alone.

Anticipate stops. Brake early.

Increase the distance between your vehicle and the

vehicle in front of you to twice the normal following

distance when towing a trailer. Allow more following

distance in adverse weather.

Slow down for downgrades and shift your

transmission into a lower gear.

Slow down for curves, adverse weather, hazardous

road conditions and expressway exits.

Your vehicle/trailer combination may experience

momentary disturbances. If a disturbance happens,

do not brake, speed up or turn the steering wheel.

Let off the gas pedal and keep the steering wheel in

a straight ahead position, sufficient to maintain the

lane of travel.

If the combination travels off the paved roadway,

hold the steering wheel firmly. Let off the gas pedal.

Do not apply your brakes. Do not turn sharply. Slow

down below 25 mph / 40 km/h. Then gradually turn

the steering wheel to get back on the roadway.

Proceed with caution when entering traffic.

Set all tires to the proper pressure. Find the

recommended cold pressures on the tire sidewall,

owner’s manual or on the trailer decal. Do not put

more pressure in the tire than is on the tire sidewall.

Tire pressures go up during driving. Do not let off

this extra pressure.
