1999 Genie Z45-25

I just bought a used Genie Z45-25 boom. Unloaded of trailer, drove it about 20 feet and one of the non steering wheels locked up. Came back next day and moved it. Wheel turned. Sounded kind of rough. Is there an electric or hydrophilic brake that is not releasing or is the final drive in need of repair? Thanks Dave

    Get the manual from genies website. There is a brake in the wheel motors. My first thought would be an electrical or valve issue.

    You might want to drop the oil in that hub and see if that machine came with a silver mine
