On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, E-clips lock wheels, rollers, and linkage pins onto their shafts by seating in a machined groove. Part# A732-3000 provides the correct spring tension to keep a component captured on its shaft under the constant motion and vibration of daily use.
Replace an E-clip if it is sprung, deformed, or missing, or any time you remove one during service — they often distort on removal. A missing or weak E-clip lets a wheel or pin walk off its shaft, which can drop a part or cause a mechanism to fail. They are inexpensive and best replaced rather than reused.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the E-clip do?
The E-clip (part# A732-3000) is a small spring retaining clip that snaps into a groove on a shaft or axle to lock a part in place so it cannot slide off. It is a tiny fastener that holds rotating or sliding components captive.
What happens if the E-clip is missing or sprung?
Without a seated E-clip, the part it retains can walk off its shaft and the assembly comes loose, so a missing or weakened clip should be replaced right away. Fitting a fresh A732-3000 re-secures the shaft.
Is the E-clip sold individually?
Yes — it is available on its own, so a lost or sprung clip is a trivial, low-cost replacement. Keeping a spare is wise since E-clips are easy to launch off the bench during service.
Which machines use the E-clip (part# A732-3000)?
It fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C; the Compatible Models list above lists the machines that share it.
