The Genie 97472GT Starter Ring Perkins (403C-11) is a genuine OEM component built for TML-4000 and TML-4000N light towers. As a direct OEM replacement, this starter ring is manufactured to the same standards as the original part, ensuring correct engagement with the starter motor on Perkins 403C-11 powered units. Cross-reference part number 97472GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to original Genie specifications, delivering the dimensional accuracy and material grade required for dependable engine cranking performance.
- Correct Engagement Geometry — Machined to match the tooth profile of the Perkins 403C-11 engine, allowing the starter motor to engage and release cleanly without modification.
- Confirmed Fitment — Designed specifically for TML-4000 and TML-4000N Terex mobile light towers equipped with the Perkins 403C-11 engine.
- Restored Starting Reliability — A worn or damaged starter ring causes difficult starts, missed tooth engagement, and starter motor stress. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores consistent, clean engine cranking.
- Operational Safety — Reliable engine starting is essential on jobsite light towers; a failed starter ring can leave equipment unable to power up when lighting is needed most.
The starter ring — also called a ring gear — mounts on the engine flywheel and meshes with the starter motor's drive pinion each time the engine is cranked. On the Perkins 403C-11 engine fitted to TML-4000 series light towers, the ring must present clean, evenly formed teeth so the pinion engages fully and spins the flywheel up to firing speed. When teeth become worn, chipped, or cracked, the starter motor may grind, slip, or fail to turn the engine at all. Replacing the starter ring with a genuine OEM part restores proper engagement and protects the starter motor from the added stress of a damaged ring.
