Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engineered for the Perkins 404F Engine — Built to the same electrical and mechanical specification as the original starter, ensuring correct engagement with the Perkins 404F ring gear and proper draw characteristics for reliable engine cranking.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Mounts directly to the original starter position with no modification to brackets, wiring harnesses, or mounting hardware.
- Broad Fitment Across S and Z Series Booms — Covers a wide range of Genie telescopic and articulating boom lifts including S-40, S-60 XC, S-65 TRAX, S-80, S-85 XC, Z-45/25J IC Power, Z-62/40, Z-80/60, and additional models in the lineup.
- Restores Engine Start Reliability — A worn or failed starter leaves the machine unable to crank, pulling equipment out of service. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores dependable engine starts and keeps the machine operational.
- Operational Safety on Elevated Equipment — On aerial boom lifts, a starter that fails mid-shift can strand an operator at height or delay critical access work. Using the correct OEM starter maintains the engine system's integrity as the manufacturer intended.
The starter is the electromechanical component responsible for cranking the engine when the ignition is activated. It draws current from the battery to spin the engine's flywheel ring gear, generating the initial rotation needed for the engine to fire and run under its own power. On Perkins 404F-powered Genie boom lifts, a failing starter typically presents as slow cranking, a single loud click with no crank, or complete failure to respond — any of which will prevent the machine from starting. Replacing a worn starter promptly with a correct OEM part, such as the 1252940GT, keeps the engine starting cleanly and prevents unnecessary downtime on the job.
