The Genie 1298700GT External Star Washer, 5/16 is a genuine OEM fastener component designed for Genie GS rough-terrain scissor lifts and Z-series articulating boom lifts, including the GS-2669RT, GS-3369RT, GS-4069RT, and Z-34/22 IC. As a genuine OEM part, this washer is manufactured to the same specification as the original hardware installed at the factory, ensuring a consistent, correct fit in your machine's fastener assemblies. Cross-reference part number 1298700GT against your parts manual before ordering to confirm compatibility with your specific unit. Keeping this hardware on hand means routine maintenance and assembly work stays on schedule without sourcing delays.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Hardness and Bite — Manufactured to genuine Genie OEM specification, with the external serrations formed to the correct tooth profile for dependable locking performance in the fastener joints found on these machines.
- Drop-In Hardware Replacement — The 5/16 sizing matches the original fastener stack-up exactly, so this washer seats and engages without any modification to surrounding hardware or mounting surfaces.
- Broad Rough-Terrain and Boom Fitment — Fits the GS-2669RT, GS-3369RT, and GS-4069RT rough-terrain scissor lifts as well as the Z-34/22 IC articulating boom lift, covering a commonly deployed fleet combination.
- Vibration Resistance Where It Counts — External star washers are used in high-vibration fastener locations. A worn or missing washer allows fasteners to back out over time, compromising joint integrity in structural and mechanical assemblies.
- Structural Joint Integrity on Aerial Equipment — On scissor lifts and boom lifts, loose fastener joints in the chassis, scissor arms, or boom structure are a genuine operational safety concern. Using the correct OEM washer ensures the fastener assembly performs as engineered.
An external star washer is a hardened locking washer with serrated teeth around its outer edge. When a fastener is torqued down, those teeth bite into both the bearing surface and the fastener head, creating mechanical resistance that prevents the fastener from loosening due to vibration or dynamic load cycling. On rough-terrain scissor lifts and articulating booms — machines that operate on uneven ground and experience significant movement — maintaining tight fastener joints throughout the structure is essential to safe, predictable operation. A missing or flattened washer eliminates that locking action, allowing fasteners to gradually back out and creating play in joints that are designed to have none.
