Internal Tooth Lock Washer 7CY002

$2.99

Genuine Tacony OEM internal tooth lock washer (part# 7CY002) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S chassis. Teeth on the inside, so the bite is hidden under the fastener head.

The Internal Tooth Lock Washer (part# 7CY002) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the toothed lock washer whose teeth bite inward under a fastener to resist loosening. It is a genuine Tacony OEM part shared across CleanMax, Powr-Flite and Tornado machines — see the full compatibility list below. It also fits the Tornado 98168 20″ Marathon 1200 carpet extractor (12 Gallon 115V), Series P.

What the Internal Tooth Lock Washer does

An internal tooth washer works differently from a split ring. Instead of one spring gap it has many small teeth that skew slightly and dig into the fastener face and the part beneath, so the resistance to turning is spread all the way round. Because the teeth face inward, the outer edge stays smooth and the marks it leaves stay hidden under the head, which is why this type turns up on visible or finished surfaces.

When to replace the Internal Tooth Lock Washer (7CY002)

Replace it when the teeth are flattened, when it has been dished or cracked, or when corrosion has taken the edges off. A washer that leaves no witness marks on reassembly has already lost the bite it was doing the work with.

Internal Tooth Lock 7CY002 — fitment and installation notes

Use a new one each time the joint is opened, since the teeth deform on first use. Where the washer also carries a ground connection, make sure both contact surfaces are clean and unpainted, and never substitute a plain washer for a toothed one in that role. Tacony builds the Tornado, CleanMax and Powr-Flite versions of this 30-inch wide-area machine on the same platform and they share the great majority of their parts, so this component carries across all three brands rather than belonging to any one of them. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
