The Genie R980015GT is a genuine OEM Flat Washer, 3/8 S/S 18/-8 designed for AL4L and AL5L Genie light towers. Sourced directly from Genie, this stainless steel washer delivers the exact material grade and dimensional spec required for your machine — no substitutions, no guesswork. This washer is confirmed to fit the AL4L and AL5L, making it a straightforward, confidence-inspiring replacement when servicing these units. Cross-reference R980015GT against your parts manual to verify application before ordering.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — The 18/-8 stainless steel grade provides strong corrosion resistance, holding up in outdoor and weather-exposed light tower applications where mild steel hardware would degrade quickly.
- Genuine OEM Part — Manufactured to Genie's exact dimensional tolerances, this flat washer seats correctly against mating fasteners and surfaces without shimming or adjustment.
- Verified Fitment — Fits Genie AL4L and AL5L portable light towers; use part number R980015GT to confirm compatibility with your machine's parts documentation.
- Correct Load Distribution — A properly sized flat washer spreads clamping force evenly across the fastener joint, protecting the mating surface and maintaining joint integrity through vibration and thermal cycling common during generator operation.
- Hardware Integrity Matters — Using the correct grade and size of hardware on light tower assemblies ensures structural connections remain secure during transport and deployment — substituting undersized or incorrect-grade washers compromises joint reliability.
A flat washer serves a straightforward but essential role: it distributes the load of a bolt or nut over a wider surface area, preventing fastener pull-through, protecting softer mating surfaces, and maintaining consistent clamping force across a joint. On jobsite light towers like the AL4L and AL5L — which are regularly transported, repositioned, and exposed to engine vibration — hardware that holds its spec under repeated stress is critical. When a flat washer is missing, undersized, or corroded through, joint connections can loosen or damage surrounding material, leading to structural or mechanical issues that require more extensive repair.
