What the ZM-500/ZM-700 Handle Grip Assembly does
The handle grip assembly is the operator’s main point of contact with the machine. It provides the comfortable, secure hold used to push, pull, and steer the upright through a commercial space and houses or mounts the control the operator presses to run the machine. Because it is gripped and worked for hours every shift and carries the switch wiring up top, both the grip surface and its internal mounts wear over time, which is why it is offered as a complete assembly.
Signs the ZM-500/ZM-700 Handle Grip Assembly needs replacing
Replace the grip assembly if it is cracked or broken, if the grip is loose or wobbles on the handle tube, or if the switch or controls mounted in it no longer work reliably. A grip that has split, pinches wiring, or no longer holds the control firmly should be replaced for safe, comfortable operation.
Installation and fit
Power down and unplug the vacuum. Disconnect any switch wiring routed into the grip, remove the grip’s fasteners, fit the new grip assembly, reconnect the wiring exactly as before, and confirm the grip is solid and the control works. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced CleanMax equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony. Browse more CleanMax parts, or learn more at CleanMax.
