Handle Release Spring Screw CM031000

Handle Release Spring Screw (CM031000)

The CM031000 is the screw that secures the handle release spring at the nozzle pivot on Tacony commercial uprights. It anchors the spring that returns and holds the handle-release mechanism, which lets the operator recline the handle to steer the machine.

If this screw loosens or is lost, the release spring can shift and the handle mechanism may not return properly. Fitting the genuine CM031000 restores a secure spring mounting. The same screw serves the CleanMax Pro-Series and the Tornado CK 14/1.

Fitting the CM031000 Handle Release Spring Screw

This screw anchors the handle release spring, so it sits under constant tension and backs out more readily than the other fasteners on the machine. A handle that will not lock upright, or that releases without the pedal being pressed, is often this screw loosening rather than a failed spring — check it before condemning the spring. Fit the CM031000 with the handle held upright so the spring is not loaded while the screw is started, then confirm the pedal action twice before the machine returns to service.
