Tornado Tempest Battery Housing Bracket K50964000

The Tornado Tempest battery housing bracket (part# K50964000) is one of five brackets the Tempest uses, and the one fitted on the battery housing and controls assembly of the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. Tacony catalogues all five under the single word Bracket, so we identify this listing by the assembly it belongs to rather than by a dimension the manufacturer does not publish.

Brackets on a machine like this are doing quiet structural work. They locate components against each other and carry loads between mouldings that would otherwise flex, and because they are steel bolted into plastic they are usually the last part to fail — which means when one does crack or distort, the components it was locating have often been moving for a while already.

Compatible Models for the Battery Housing Bracket

• Tornado Tempest Wide-Area Cordless Carpet Vacuum Sweeper — Model TV400-W26-U

When to replace it

• The bracket is bent, cracked or has an elongated mounting hole.
• Components it locates have developed play that is not in the components themselves.
• Its fasteners keep working loose in service.
• Corrosion has weakened it or seized its fixings.
• The assembly has been dismantled after an impact.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. The bracket mounts within the battery mount (part# K50321850) and is secured with the M5 x 20 screws (part# K73031080) used throughout this assembly. Check the mating faces for distortion while it is off, tighten evenly, and confirm the components it locates have no play before reassembling the cover.

On pricing: Tacony does not currently list part# K50964000 in the dealer catalogue, so we do not publish a price for it rather than estimate one. Call 763-535-0770 and we will source it and quote you.
