Tornado Tempest Brushroll Right Plate K50979420

The Tornado Tempest brushroll right plate (part# K50979420) is the right-hand end plate of the brushroll assembly on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. Tacony lists it as Plate Right, Brushroll; the parts book calls it the right lever. It carries the bearing flange (part# K52530260) and, with the left plate (part# K50979430), sets the brushroll’s alignment across the machine.

The two plates between them decide whether the brush runs parallel to the floor. Because they are at opposite ends of a 26-inch roller, a small distortion at one plate becomes a visible difference in brush contact at that end of the path. On a machine that has been knocked or dropped, the plates are where that damage shows up — usually reported as one side of the sweeping path cleaning less well than the other.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. The plate carries the bearing flange and bearing and is secured with M6 x 35 screws (part# K73061180) and nuts (part# K73114250). Transfer the flange and gasket, or fit new ones while the assembly is open. After fitting, check brush contact along the full width on a level floor and adjust brush pressure before returning the machine to service.
