Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to Genie's original equipment specification for the Perkins engine application, ensuring dimensional and electrical conformity with your machine's starting system.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Engineered to install in place of the original starter motor on the Z-80/60, connecting directly to the existing mounting points and wiring without modification.
- Correct Fitment for Z-80/60 — Confirmed fitment for the Genie Z-80/60 articulating boom lift; cross-reference part number 65495GT against your serial-number range in the Genie parts manual before ordering.
- Restored Starting Reliability — A worn or failed starter motor prevents the engine from cranking, grounding the machine entirely. Replacing it with the correct OEM unit restores dependable engine starts and keeps your crew productive.
- Operational Safety — Reliable engine starting is fundamental to safe aerial-lift operation. Using the correct OEM starter motor ensures the machine responds predictably and is ready for use when needed.
A starter motor is the electric motor that cranks the engine each time the machine is started. When the operator activates the ignition, the starter motor engages a drive gear against the engine flywheel, spinning the engine fast enough to fire and run under its own power. A failing starter motor may turn the engine slowly, engage intermittently, or not engage at all, leaving the machine unable to start. Replacing a worn unit promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the machine available and avoids delays caused by a no-start condition.
