The CleanMax CM-WAV Lock Washer (part# 03536) is a split lock washer used on the CM-WAV wide-area vacuum under a fastener to keep it from vibrating loose at its joint.

This is a genuine Tacony hardware item used on the CleanMax CM-WAV. The same size fastener may appear elsewhere on the machine and on other Tacony models; call 763-535-0770 to confirm the exact part and its position on your machine.

What the Lock Washer does

A split lock washer is compressed flat as the fastener is torqued; its sprung ends dig into the fastener and the mating surface so the joint resists the vibration that would otherwise let it back off. On a machine that runs two motors and a wide agitator, that constant vibration works ordinary fasteners loose, so lock washers hold the joints that must stay tight between services.

Signs the Lock Washer needs replacing

Replace the lock washer if it has taken a set and lost its spring, if its ends are worn smooth so they no longer bite, or if it is corroded. A joint that keeps loosening on its own is the classic sign its lock washer no longer has tension and should be renewed with a fresh one.

Installation and fit

Place the new 03536 lock washer under the fastener head or nut and torque the fastener so the washer compresses and its ends bite into the surfaces. Renew rather than reuse a flattened lock washer. 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.
