🔹 Product Overview
Buy the Genie Foot Switch Assembly 74298GT replacement for Z-30/20N, Z-34/22RT, and Z-34/22DC Boom Lifts. Essential platform safety enabling switch assembly.
The Foot Switch Assembly (w/Harness) with Genie Part Numbers 74298 and 74298GT is a critical, integrated operator control component used on the platform of specific Genie Articulating Boom Lifts. It is compatible with the compact and narrow Z-Boom models, including the Z-30/20N, Z-34/22N, Z-34/22RT, and Z-34/22DC series.1
This assembly functions as the mandatory “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 safety mechanism is fundamental for operator safety, ensuring stability and engagement while operating the lift. Releasing the pedal instantly disables primary functions.
The assembly includes the rugged pedal mechanism, internal safety switch, and the integrated wiring harness, ensuring a direct, plug-and-play replacement. Due to heavy use and exposure, replacing a failed unit with the 74298GT is mandatory for safe operation and regulatory compliance.
