What's wrong?
The stabilizing outriggers on a 2015 Genie TZ-34/20 trailer are the support legs that press against the ground before the boom lift is used. Hydraulic cylinders move and hold those outriggers in position. Their job is to keep the trailer level and steady while the platform is raised.
On affected trailers, an outrigger cylinder was built out of specification. The piston inside the cylinder does not hold position as designed, so the outrigger can drift during setup or while the trailer is in use. As the outrigger moves, the trailer can go out of level instead of staying firmly supported.
The warning sign is the level alarm. If the trailer moves out of level, an alarm will sound. Treat that alarm as a sign that the support system is no longer holding the trailer level.

What's the safety risk?
Outrigger drift during boom lift use can let the lift tip over, increasing the risk of injury to the operator or people nearby. If the off level alarm sounds, stop using the lift, lower the boom, and arrange service before putting it back to work. Repair is free at any franchised Genie dealer.
