Throttle Solenoid 101957GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Throttle Solenoid with Genie Part Numbers 101957 and 101957GT is a critical electro-mechanical component used in the engine speed control system of large Genie Telescopic Boom Lifts (S-Series and SX-Series) and Articulating Boom Lifts (Z/ZX-Series).
This solenoid is responsible for actuating the engine throttle linkage to switch the engine between its high idle (work speed) and low idle (rest/start) settings. It is essential for ensuring the lift runs at the correct RPM to supply adequate hydraulic flow and pressure when performing boom functions, while saving fuel and reducing noise when idling.
Failure of the solenoid (e.g., sticking, failing to pull/push, or coil burnout) results in the engine being stuck at the wrong speed—either high idle (wasting fuel, excess noise) or low idle (inadequate power for lift functions). Replacing the failed unit with the 101957GT restores proper engine RPM control, optimizing performance and fuel efficiency.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ Engine Speed Control: Critical solenoid that manages the engine throttle to switch between high idle and low idle speeds.
- ✅ Optimizes Performance: Ensures the engine runs at the required RPM for full hydraulic power during boom functions.
- ✅ Wide Model Compatibility: Used extensively on high-reach Genie Super-Boom Lifts (S-100 up to SX-180).
- ✅ Restores Fuel Efficiency: Guarantees the engine returns to low idle when not under load, reducing fuel consumption.
- ✅ Direct Replacement: High-quality aftermarket or genuine OEM equivalent for Genie Part Number 101957GT.
