The Genie 36980GT is a genuine OEM Internal Star Washer,.25 designed for the Z-34 IC articulating boom lift. Sourced directly from Genie, this washer matches the exact specification used during original assembly, ensuring proper seating and secure fastener retention. Cross-reference part number 36980GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — Manufactured to the exact tooth geometry and material hardness required for this internal star washer application, delivering consistent locking force without deformation under torque.
- Direct Assembly Match — Installs in place of the original without rework or shimming, maintaining correct clamp load across the fastener joint.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with the Genie Z-34 IC articulating boom lift; verify against your serial number and parts manual using part number 36980GT.
- Secure Fastener Retention — The internal star profile bites into the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration — critical on mobile aerial equipment that experiences constant movement and variable loads.
- Operational Safety — On an articulating boom lift, fastener integrity at structural and mechanical connection points is directly linked to platform stability; a properly specified star washer helps maintain that integrity over the service life of the joint.
An internal star washer is a locking fastener component with inward-facing serrated teeth that grip the underside of a bolt head or nut and the mating surface simultaneously when the fastener is tightened. This biting action creates resistance to rotational loosening caused by vibration, dynamic loading, and thermal cycling — conditions that aerial lift equipment routinely encounters during operation and transport. When a star washer is worn, missing, or substituted with an incorrect size, clamping force at the joint can degrade over time, potentially allowing fasteners to back out and compromising the integrity of the connection it secures.
