Tornado EB 30/1 Complete Tube K40705980

The complete tube (part# K40705980) is the handle tube of the Tornado EB 30/1 electric broom. It runs from the handle assembly at the top down to the body of the machine, and it is what transmits the operator’s push into forward motion. Supplied complete, it includes the fittings at both ends rather than being a bare length of tube.

What goes wrong

Tubes bend. A broom tipped over, run into a door frame, or loaded into a vehicle on its side can pick up a bow that is barely visible but that makes the machine track to one side. The other failure is at the lower socket, where repeated flexing eventually opens up the fit and introduces play — the handle feels loose even though the handle itself is sound. Corrosion at the lower end is worth checking on machines used in wet areas or washed down regularly.

A quick test for a bent tube: stand the machine on a flat floor and sight down the tube from above. Any curve shows against the straight line of the body. For play, hold the body still and rock the handle — movement that comes from the lower joint rather than the grip points at the tube socket.

Related parts

The handle assembly (part# K40709440) fits to the top of this tube, and the joint screw is part# K73031290. If both the handle and the tube have play, replace them together; fitting a new handle to a worn tube socket leaves the fault in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the complete tube do on the Tornado EB 30/1?

It is the handle tube connecting the grip assembly at the top to the body of the machine, transmitting the operator’s push into forward motion. It is supplied complete with its end fittings rather than as a bare tube.

How do I know if my tube is bent or worn?

Stand the machine on a flat floor and sight down the tube from above — any bow shows against the straight line of the body, and a bent tube makes the broom track to one side. For play, hold the body still and rock the handle: movement coming from the lower joint rather than the grip means the tube socket has opened up.

Should I replace the handle at the same time?

If both show play, yes. The handle assembly (part# K40709440) fits the top of this tube and the joint screw is part# K73031290. A new handle fitted to a worn tube socket leaves the looseness exactly where it was.

What models is the complete tube (part# K40705980) compatible with?

The Tornado EB 30/1 Electric Broom, Models 93220 and 93222.
