Tornado Tempest Bolt M5 x 13 K53160260

The Tornado Tempest bolt M5 x 13 (part# K53160260) is the M5 x 13 bolt used on the battery housing and controls assembly of the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. The Tempest uses two parts catalogued simply as Bolt; this is the one on the battery housing, and the other (part# K53160280) belongs to the filter and blower assembly.

The thirteen-millimetre length is unusual enough to be worth noting. It is not a length most workshops carry loose, which means a machine that has been serviced in the field is more likely than usual to have had something close-but-wrong fitted here. If a fastener on this assembly looks like it does not match its neighbours, this is the position to check first.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Check what the bolt threads into before fitting — if it takes a nut, note the washer order as you dismantle. Tighten to clamp without distorting the surrounding moulding, and verify nothing it secures has play before reassembling the housing.
