Product Overview: Genie Hydraulic Function Gear Pump (Part #96193GT / 96193)

The Genie Hydraulic Function Gear Pump (Part #96193GT / 96193) is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement component designed specifically for the hydraulic systems of various Genie aerial work platforms, notably those utilizing a 4cc displacement pump. This pump is the heart of the machine's "function" or "platform" hydraulic circuit, responsible for powering the primary lifting operations.

Key Features & Specifications

• Genuine OEM Part: Manufactured to Genie's exacting standards, ensuring perfect fit, optimal performance, and full compatibility with your Genie equipment.

• Part Numbers: 96193GT (likely the current part number suffix) and 96193 (base part number). Always confirm compatibility using your machine's model and serial number.

• Type: Hydraulic Gear Pump. This type of pump is known for its simplicity, reliability, and efficiency in delivering a fixed flow of hydraulic fluid.

• Displacement: 4cc (cubic centimeters per revolution). This specifies the volume of fluid the pump delivers per revolution, defining its speed and power characteristics for the specific circuit it serves.

• Function: This is specifically a "Function" pump. In Genie lifts, this typically means it is dedicated to powering the scissor arm lifting/lowering mechanism or the platform leveling function, separate from the drive circuit.

• Rotation: The specific rotation direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) is critical. This OEM pump is engineered to match the exact rotation required by the machine's design.

• Shaft Type: Features a precision-machined splined or keyed shaft designed to connect perfectly to the mating drive coupler or motor.

Application & Compatibility

This pump is a critical replacement part for the hydraulic function circuit on several Genie scissor lift models. Always verify with your model and serial number, but it is commonly found on popular Genie models such as:

• Genie GS™-1930 (19ft platform height)

• Genie GS™-2032 (20ft platform height)

• Genie GS™-2646 (26ft platform height)

• Genie GS™-3369 (33ft platform height)

• Genie GS™-3390 (33ft platform height)
  (Note: The "4cc" displacement is a key identifier for compatibility with these and other models.)

Purpose & Importance in the Hydraulic System

This pump serves a single, vital purpose: to convert mechanical power from the machine's engine or electric motor into hydraulic energy. It does this by:

1. Drawing Hydraulic Fluid: It pulls fluid from the hydraulic reservoir.

2. Pressurizing Fluid: It then pressurizes and pumps this fluid into the hydraulic system.

3. Powering Actuators: This pressurized oil is directed to hydraulic cylinders (to raise/lower the scissor arms) or to other actuators, enabling the machine's core lifting functions.

Symptoms of a Failing Function Pump

You may need to replace this pump if your Genie lift exhibits the following issues:

• Slow Lifting Speed: The platform raises much slower than normal, even with full throttle/RPM.

• Failure to Lift: The scissor arms fail to lift entirely, even though the drive system may work.

• Unusual Noise: A loud whining, grinding, or cavitation noise coming from the pump area.

• Low Power/Holding: The lift struggles to lift a load it previously could, or the platform drifts down under load.

Why Choose This Genuine Genie Pump?

• Perfect Fit: Guaranteed compatibility, eliminating guesswork and modification.

• Assured Performance: Engineered to deliver the exact flow and pressure required for safe and efficient machine operation.

• Durability: Built with high-quality materials to withstand the demands of construction environments.

• Warranty Protection: Maintains the integrity of your equipment and any existing warranties.

• Safety: The hydraulic system is critical for safe operation; using an OEM pump ensures reliability.
