CleanMax Nitro CMNR-QD Handle Release Spring B283-5200
$2.99
Genuine Tacony B283-5200 handle release spring — returns the handle-release pedal so the handle locks and reclines on the CleanMax, Carpet Pro, Fuller Brush, Simplicity, and Powr-Flite uprights it fits.
The Handle Release Spring (part B283-5200) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part shared across multiple uprights — it fits CleanMax, Carpet Pro, Fuller Brush, Simplicity and Powr-Flite models. The full compatible-model list appears below.
This return spring sits behind the handle-release pedal. Step on the pedal and the handle reclines for cleaning; lift your foot and this spring snaps the mechanism back so the handle locks upright for storage and maneuvering. It is a small part relied on every time the machine is used.
When the spring weakens, stretches, or breaks, the symptoms are unmistakable: the pedal stays down, the handle will not lock in the upright position, or it flops loose instead of holding its recline. Replacing the inexpensive B283-5200 restores that crisp, positive lock.
