The Genie 16397-SGT is a genuine OEM DPDT 3-Position Momentary Toggle Switch built for Genie S series telescopic boom lifts, Z series articulating boom lifts, and AL5HT light towers. As a direct OEM replacement, this switch is manufactured to the same electrical specifications as the original, ensuring correct circuit behavior and dependable operation. Compatible models include the S-60, S-65, Z-34/22 Bi-Energy, Z-30/20N RJ, Z-45/25J IC Power, and additional Z series variants — confirm part number 16397-SGT against your machine's parts manual to verify fitment for your specific unit.
Key Features
- Correct Electrical Specification — Genuine OEM construction matches the original switch's DPDT configuration and momentary-action travel, ensuring the correct circuit response every time the switch is actuated.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This toggle switch installs directly in place of the original, connecting to the existing wiring harness without modification.
- Broad Genie Fitment — Compatible with Genie S series telescopic booms, Z series articulating booms, and the AL5HT light tower across multiple model variants.
- 3-Position Momentary Action — The spring-return momentary design returns the switch to center when released, which is critical for controlled, operator-dependent functions on aerial equipment.
- Operational Safety — A failed or worn toggle switch can result in unresponsive or erratic machine functions. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores predictable control behavior, which is essential for safe aerial lift operation.
A toggle switch is a manually operated electrical component that opens, closes, or redirects a circuit when the operator moves its lever. A DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) switch controls two independent circuits simultaneously, while the 3-position momentary design means the lever springs back to its center-off position the moment the operator releases it — the machine only responds while the switch is actively held. On Genie boom lifts and light towers, this type of switch is commonly used for functions that should operate only under direct operator input. When a toggle switch wears out or fails internally, the affected function may become intermittent, unresponsive, or stuck in an active state — all of which require prompt replacement with the correct part.
