Tornado Tempest Side Broom Bracket K50979590

The Tornado Tempest side broom bracket (part# K50979590) is the mounting bracket that carries the side broom assembly on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. The Tempest uses five parts catalogued simply as Bracket; this is the one on the side broom sheet, and it is distinct from the side broom arm (part# K50979600), which Tacony catalogues separately as Arm, Side Broom.

The bracket is the fixed anchor the whole cantilevered side broom assembly hangs from. Everything outboard of it — the arm, the height adjustment, the motor and the brush — transmits its loads back through this one component. That makes it the part that quietly determines whether the brush stays square to the floor, and a bracket that has moved shows up as a brush geometry problem rather than as a bracket problem.

Compatible Models for the Side Broom Bracket

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

When to replace it

• The bracket is bent, cracked or has elongated mounting holes.
• The whole side broom assembly moves as a unit when pushed by hand.
• Brush geometry problems persist after the arm has been renewed.
• Its fasteners will not stay tight.
• The assembly has taken a heavy impact.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. The bracket is secured with the M6 x 20 screws (part# K73060920) and carries the height adjustment bracket (part# K50963980) and arm. Check the mating face on the machine body for distortion while the bracket is off. Tighten evenly, then set the brush height and confirm the bristles contact evenly through a full rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the side broom bracket do on the Tornado Tempest?

It is the fixed mounting the whole cantilevered side broom assembly hangs from, carrying the loads from the arm, height adjustment, motor and brush back into the machine body.

How do I know if it needs replacing?

If it is bent, cracked or has elongated mounting holes, if the whole side broom assembly moves as a unit rather than one component having play, or if brush geometry problems survive renewing the arm.

What models is this bracket (part# K50979590) compatible with?

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

Is this the same as the side broom arm?

No. The arm (part# K50979600) is the moving member that carries the motor and brush outboard. This bracket is the fixed mounting the arm pivots from. Tacony catalogues them separately.
