Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engine Integrity — Built to Genie's original specifications for the Kohler engine, ensuring the correct bore diameter and material grade for proper crankcase ventilation.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Connects to the existing Kohler engine fittings on the RL4 Vertical Mast without modification, restoring the original routing and seal points.
- Confirmed RL4 Fitment — Engineered specifically for the Genie RL4 Vertical Mast, eliminating guesswork when sourcing engine service parts for this unit.
- Protects Engine Performance — A properly functioning breather tube maintains correct crankcase pressure, preventing oil consumption issues, seal damage, and rough engine operation that a cracked or blocked tube can cause.
- Operational Safety — On engine-driven light tower equipment, a failed crankcase breather can lead to oil leaks and uncontrolled pressure buildup — replacing this tube at the first sign of wear keeps the power plant running safely on the job.
A breather tube — also called a crankcase ventilation tube — connects the engine's crankcase to the air intake or atmosphere, allowing combustion blow-by gases and excess pressure to vent safely away from the engine. On Kohler-powered units like the RL4 Vertical Mast, this tube is a critical part of the engine's breathing system: when it becomes cracked, clogged, or collapsed, crankcase pressure builds up and can force oil past seals and gaskets, leading to leaks, increased oil consumption, and accelerated engine wear. Replacing a damaged breather tube promptly restores proper ventilation and protects the engine from longer-term damage.
