Buy the Genie Foot Switch Pedal 227617GT replacement for S-Series and Z-Series Boom Lifts (S-45, Z-62/40, Z-135/70). Essential platform safety enabling pedal.

🔹 Product Overview
The Foot Switch/Foot Pedal with Genie Part Numbers 227617 and 227617GT is a crucial, widely compatible operator control component installed on the platform floor of numerous Genie Boom Lifts, spanning both Telescopic (S-Series) and Articulating (Z-Series) models.1 It is compatible with a vast range, including S-40, S-45, S-60, Z-33/18, Z-45/25, Z-51/30J, Z-60/37, Z-62/40, Z-80/60, and the large Z-135/70.2
This component functions as the “dead man” or enabling pedal. It requires continuous pressure from the operator’s foot to enable the primary lift functions (drive, steer, boom movement) via the hand controls. This is a fundamental safety mechanism that ensures the operator is actively engaged and positioned safely while operating the lift. Releasing the pedal instantly disables primary functions.
The switch is housed in a rugged assembly designed for heavy-duty, exposed platform use. Due to constant foot traffic and severe worksite environments, the internal switch mechanism can fail. Replacing the foot switch with the 227617GT is mandatory for safe operation and regulatory compliance.
