Proportional Directional Valve 94614GT / 94614 (3 Position / 4 Way) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Proportional Directional Valve with Genie part numbers 94614GT and 94614 is a highly specialized electro-hydraulic component used in the main control manifold of various Genie Articulating Boom Lifts (Z-Series).1 The designation $3 \text{ Position } 4 \text{ Way}$ indicates a spool valve capable of controlling flow to two cylinder or motor ports across three operational positions (typically centered/neutral, extend/drive forward, and retract/drive reverse). Crucially, it provides proportional control, meaning it does not merely switch flow ON/OFF, but precisely and variably modulates the flow rate (speed) of the hydraulic function based on the electrical input signal.
This valve is essential for achieving the smooth, feathered, and variable-speed motion required in critical functions like main lift, slew, or drive. The part number 94614GT is the necessary replacement for addressing severe operational issues such as loss of feathering/speed control, erratic or jerky boom movements, or a complete failure of the associated hydraulic function due to a failed coil or stuck spool.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Proportional Control: Enables exceptionally smooth, variable speed control (feathering) for main machine functions.
✅ 3-Position, 4-Way: Versatile configuration for managing both direction and speed for lift, slew, or drive actuators.
✅ High Control Fidelity: Essential for precise positioning and safe operation of articulating boom lifts.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 94614GT and 94614.2
