Proportional Directional Control Valve 229407GT / 229407 (5-Way, 3-Position) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Direction Control System Valve with Genie part numbers 229407GT and 229407 is a highly specialized, proportional electro-hydraulic valve used in the main control manifold of various high-reach Genie Boom Lifts.1 The technical description is PRO.DIR.CTRL, VLV, 5WY, 3POS, meaning it is a Proportional Directional Control Valve with a 5-Way, 3-Position configuration.2 This sophisticated valve is responsible for managing the direction and precisely modulating the speed (feathering) of critical, high-flow movements.
The proportional control is essential for achieving the smooth, controlled, variable-speed motion required in the main lift, telescope, or slew functions of these large booms. The part number 229407GT 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.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Proportional Control: Enables exceptionally smooth, variable speed control (feathering) for main machine functions.
✅ 5-Way, 3-Position: Advanced configuration for managing flow and direction in complex hydraulic circuits.
✅ High Control Fidelity: Essential for precise positioning and safe operation of high-reach booms.3
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 229407GT and 229407.
