Tornado Tempest Side Broom Cap K50342360

The Tornado Tempest side broom cap (part# K50342360) is the cap fitted on the side broom assembly of the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. The Tempest uses two parts catalogued simply as Cap, and this is the one on the side broom sheet; the other (part# K55002560) belongs to the filter and blower assembly.

Caps on an outboard assembly are not cosmetic. The side broom hangs outside the machine body where it is exposed to everything the floor throws at it, and a cap keeps carpet fibre, grit and moisture out of the fastener or bearing recess beneath. Losing one is easy to overlook, because nothing stops working immediately — the damage accumulates underneath, in the component the cap was protecting.

Compatible Models for the Side Broom Cap

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

When to replace it

• The cap is missing after a previous repair.
• It is cracked, split or no longer clips home.
• It sits proud rather than seating flush.
• Debris or moisture is reaching the recess beneath it.
• The assembly has been dismantled and the cap was damaged on removal.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Clean the recess before fitting a new cap — capping over accumulated grit traps it against the component underneath. Press the cap fully home and confirm it is seated all round; a cap sitting proud will be knocked off the first time the side broom meets an obstruction.
