Genie S-80, S-85 2012 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for Machine Maintenance

If you’re keeping a Genie S-80, S-85 2012 Parts Catalog on your bench, you already know why aftermarket parts lists belong in the shredder. I’ve torqued enough bolts on these booms to tell you that one wrong part number means a week of downtime waiting for the correct swivel or hose assembly. This is the factory document – 158 pages of Genie’s own exploded views and part numbers, published April 2012. It covers machines up to serial number 965. No reprints, no third-party summaries. Just the OEM data you need to order exactly what fits.

What’s Inside This Genie Parts Catalog

Open the PDF and you’ll find a table of contents with live links to each figure. The manual breaks down every major assembly: platform controls, turntable, chassis, hydraulic plumbing, decals. Each figure shows the part number, description, and quantity. Page 1 starts with the serial number info and model identification – don’t skip that. The Genie S-80 and S-85 share many components, but the differences in platform reach (80 ft vs 85 ft) affect certain boom sections and cables. The catalog accounts for that.

Why a Factory Catalog Beats Aftermarket Lists

I get calls from guys who ordered a “universal” seal kit from a parts house. It never seals right because the groove dimensions are off by 0.005”. The factory catalog gives you the exact Genie part number – not a cross-reference that might be close. This manual is the same one Genie’s own parts desk uses. When you call them with a part number from page 73, you get the correct item shipped. No guessing, no returns.

Serial Number Identification – Get This Right

The manual includes a full section on how to read your serial number. Model year, manufacture date, electrical schematic number – it’s all there. The serial number is stamped on the chassis and listed on the label under the cover. If you have an S-80 with serial number S8006-12345, you verify it matches the range in this catalog. Automotive Industry Overview covers why serial number tracing matters for safety-critical parts. Use the wrong boom cylinder and you risk a failure at height.

7 Systems Covered in the Figure Layouts

The catalog groups parts by major systems. Each figure corresponds to a specific section: Decals (view 1, view 2), Structural welds, Turntable bearing, Engine assembly, Hydraulic pump, Drive motors, Platform controls. The parts stocking list on page 7 helps you identify high-wear items you should keep on hand. I always recommend ordering the decal kit from figure 100 – faded safety labels are a liability.

How to Use This Manual for Ordering Correct Parts

Flip to the figure that matches the area you’re repairing. Locate the component in the exploded view. Note the index number and part number. Write down the description and quantity. Then call your dealer. The manual even includes a service parts fax order form on page 9 – fill it out and send it. If you need multiple manuals for different serial ranges, check the Genie S-80 S-80X S-85 2012 Parts Catalog for your specific machine. For platform components, the Genie S-80 S-85 Parts Catalog 2012 – Section: Platform Components is a standalone reference. And if you have a newer machine, the Genie S-80 S-85 2014 Parts Catalog covers later serial numbers.

Safety Considerations When Replacing Components

Parts catalogs don’t include repair procedures, but they do list the correct fasteners and seals. If the figure calls for a specific bolt grade – use it. I’ve seen someone substitute a Grade 5 for a Grade 8 on a turntable pivot. That bolt sheared at 80 feet. The catalog gives you the part number for the exact Genie–sourced fastener. Pair this catalog with the service manual for torque specs and you’re set.

Does this manual include torque specs or repair steps?

No. This is a parts catalog only. It lists part numbers, quantities, and exploded views. For torque values and repair procedures, you need the Genie S-80 S-85 Service Manual.

How do I confirm my serial number is within the range for this catalog?

Look at the serial number on your machine’s chassis stamp. If it ends with a number 965 or lower, this 2012 catalog covers it. Machines with serial numbers starting from 966 need the later manual (Part No. 65615). The front matter of this PDF explains the full breakdown. Check the Automotive Industry Overview for general serial number best practices, but stick to Genie’s own chart for accuracy.

Download the Factory Manual and keep it on your laptop or tablet. When a customer’s boom is down and you need a part number fast, this PDF is the only source I trust.
