Tornado Tempest Cable Tie K66414640

The Tornado Tempest cable tie (part# K66414640) bundles the side broom motor loom on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. It is the plain tie of the pair the machine uses; the other (part# K66506050) carries an integral clip that anchors a bundle to the chassis.

It is tempting to treat a cable tie as a generic item, and on many machines it would be. On this one the loom shares its route with a ferrite suppression sleeve (part# K65743260) whose position on the cable is functional, and the ties are part of what holds that sleeve where it belongs. A bundle re-tied loosely lets the sleeve migrate, and the machine develops the kind of intermittent electronic behaviour that is very hard to trace back to a cable tie.

Compatible Models for the Cable Tie

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

When to replace it

• Any time it has been cut for access — these are single-use.
• The tie has gone brittle or cracked with age and heat.
• The bundle is loose or the ferrite sleeve has moved along the cable.
• The loom has shifted from its routed position.
• Any sign of chafing on the cable insulation.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Note the tie positions and the ferrite sleeve location before cutting anything. Re-tie in the same places, tight enough to hold the bundle and the sleeve without crushing the insulation. Trim the tail cleanly — a long tail left on a moving assembly finds its way into the brush.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this cable tie do on the Tornado Tempest?

It bundles the side broom motor loom and helps hold the ferrite suppression sleeve in its correct position on the cable.

How do I know if it needs replacing?

Fit a new one any time it has been cut for access; they are single-use. Also replace it if it has gone brittle, the bundle is loose, or the ferrite sleeve has moved along the cable.

What models is this cable tie (part# K66414640) compatible with?

The Tornado Tempest TV400-W26-U wide-area cordless carpet sweeper. PartSmart lists it against the Tempest alone.

Can I use a generic cable tie?

We would rather you used the specified part. The ties on this loom also hold the ferrite suppression sleeve in a functional position, and a bundle re-tied loosely lets the sleeve migrate — which produces intermittent electronic faults that are very hard to trace.
