Foot Switch Part No 227516GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
Buy the Genie Foot Switch 227516GT replacement for S-40, S-65, S-80, and S-85 Boom Lifts. Essential platform safety enabling pedal.
The Foot Switch with Genie Part Numbers 227516 and 227516GT is the crucial operator control component installed on the platform floor of various Genie Telescopic Boom Lifts. It is widely compatible with the S-Series models, including the S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, and S-85 series.1
This component functions as the “dead man” or enabling pedal. It requires the operator’s foot to be actively depressing it before any primary lift functions (drive, steer, or boom movement) can be activated via the hand controls. This is a fundamental safety mechanism that ensures the operator is in a stable, prepared position. Releasing the pedal instantly stops primary functions, making it a critical safety requirement.
The switch is designed for heavy-duty use in the exposed platform environment. Due to constant foot traffic and weather exposure, the internal switch mechanism can fail. Replacing the foot switch with the 227516GT is mandatory for safe operation and regulatory compliance.
