The Genie R980000GT is a genuine OEM Star Lock Washer designed for the Genie AL5000 light tower. As a direct-from-manufacturer component, this washer is built to the exact material and dimensional specifications Genie requires, ensuring it seats and secures properly in the application it was engineered for. Cross-reference part number R980000GT against your AL5000 parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — The S/S material grade provides corrosion resistance suited to outdoor and jobsite environments where light towers regularly operate.
- External Tooth Design — The 1/4 external tooth profile bites into mating surfaces to resist loosening under vibration, maintaining a secure clamp load over time.
- Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly from Genie, this washer meets the same manufacturing standards as the original hardware installed on the AL5000 at the factory.
- Direct AL5000 Fitment — Engineered specifically for the Genie AL5000 light tower, this washer installs without modification into the correct fastener assembly.
- Prevents Fastener Backing Out — A worn or missing lock washer allows bolts and screws to work loose under engine and generator vibration, leading to structural or electrical connection failures on the unit.
A star lock washer is a hardened or stainless fastener component that sits between a bolt head or nut and the mating surface. Its serrated external teeth dig into both surfaces when the fastener is tightened, creating friction that resists rotational loosening caused by vibration and thermal cycling. On a light tower like the AL5000 — where a generator or engine runs continuously — this kind of vibration-resistant hardware is critical to keeping panels, brackets, and electrical enclosures securely fastened. When a lock washer is missing, damaged, or replaced with the wrong size, fasteners can back out over time, potentially causing loose connections or component movement that affects the reliability of the entire unit.
