As a factory-sourced component, part number 98012GT is manufactured to Genie's original specifications and is the correct replacement for this machine. Cross-reference 98012GT against your Z-135/70 parts manual to confirm it is the right option for your unit's configuration before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Genie, this precleaner option meets the original dimensional and material specifications for the Perkins engine installation on the Z-135/70.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed as a factory-matched component, this part installs in place of the original without modification.
- Verified Fitment — Confirmed for the Genie Z-135/70 articulating boom lift; cross-reference part number 98012GT with your machine's parts manual to verify applicability to your serial number.
- Engine Air Quality — A functioning precleaner removes coarse airborne debris before it reaches the primary air filter, extending filter service intervals and protecting the engine in dusty jobsite conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance Burden — By intercepting large particles at the first stage, this component helps the primary filtration system perform effectively for longer, keeping service intervals on schedule.
A precleaner is a pre-filtration device mounted upstream of the engine's primary air filter. It uses centrifugal action or a mesh stage to separate and expel coarse dust, debris, and chaff before they reach the main filter element. On a large articulating boom like the Z-135/70, which frequently operates in construction and industrial environments with elevated dust levels, a properly functioning precleaner meaningfully extends primary filter life. A damaged or missing precleaner allows unfiltered particulates to load the primary filter prematurely or, in severe cases, to bypass it entirely — increasing engine wear and shortening service intervals.
