I wouldn't change the pads or anything about the feet. I don't want it easy for them to slide on any surface. That's why the rig shown in the picture is done, to get them high enough so that little seams or high spots in the floor won't catch the pads if they tilt down a little. And I'm always surprised how easy it is to get a green light. It would seem that you'd have to have the leg screwed down so tight that there is no play at all, but in reality there can be an inch or so of play. Sometimes that's annoying when you have four greens and you get in the basket and it tilts an inch and you lose your greens and can't go up. Of course, if you have someone with you like you're supposed to that's not such a big deal.
A letter from the dealer is not the same as a letter from the manufacturer. The dealer is not a legal representative of the manufacturer, and has no legal ability to indemnify Genie from liability should something happen.
That being said, I would suggest seeing if you can get a letter from Genie directly about your situation.

Ethan

At the beginning of a summer concert in Brooklyn, NY, Curtis Mayfield went on stage despite nasty weather approaching. A wind shear that was strong enough to blow A7 Voice of the Theatre speakers off of the stage also toppled the front and rear 40 trusses. Curtis was hit by the front truss which crippled him for life.
I was named in the resulting law suite due to my "proximity" to the case. You see, I sold two of the Genie Lifts to a guy named Mark Rosenden who had a company called Stage Lights, Inc. It turns out the company was not a corporation, he just used the name because it "sounded better." He also didn't have insurance.
The shotgun law suit had everyone including the Mayor of NY, NYC Parks Department, Pepsi, Bash Stage Lighting (which sold Mark the other two Genies, etc.
The suit was finally settled out of court with Genie Industries taking a big hit which resulted in the interface between the outriggers and the operating system.
I was eventually dropped from the suit but by then I'd incurred five grand in expenses for about $ 300.00 in profit netted in the original sale.
