The Genie 1252940GT is a genuine OEM Perkins 404F Starter built for Genie Z-series articulating boom lifts. As a factory-sourced component, this starter is manufactured to the same specification as the original unit, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. It is confirmed to fit the Z-62/40, Z-80/60, and Z-45 XC articulating booms.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — Sourced directly from Genie, this starter meets the original electrical and mechanical output ratings required by the Perkins 404F engine — no guesswork on compatibility.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting configuration and connector interface, this component installs in place of the factory unit without alteration.
- Confirmed Fitment — Fits Genie Z-62/40, Z-80/60, and Z-45 XC articulating boom lifts equipped with the Perkins 404F engine.
- Dependable Engine Starting — A worn or failed starter leaves the machine unable to start, keeping it out of service. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores reliable engine engagement and gets the boom back to work.
- Operational Safety — On aerial work platforms, consistent and predictable engine starting behavior is essential for safe operation. Using the correct OEM starter ensures the ignition system performs as designed.
A starter is the electric motor responsible for cranking the engine each time the machine is started. It draws power from the battery to rotate the engine's flywheel until combustion takes over. When a starter begins to fail, symptoms include slow or intermittent cranking, a clicking sound with no engine turnover, or a complete failure to start. On a boom lift, a failed starter means the machine cannot be powered up and placed into service. Replacing it promptly with a correctly specified OEM part — such as part number 1252940GT — restores full starting performance and keeps the equipment operating as intended.
