Tornado Wheel Cap K63431320

The Wheel Cap (part# K63431320) is the retainer that holds each rear wheel on its axle stud on the Tornado Strike TV190-W10-U. Two are fitted. Tacony also uses it on the BR 16/3 automatic floor scrubber, which is why this listing carries the brand rather than one model name.

Compatible Models for the Wheel Cap

• Tornado Strike TV190-W10-U cordless upright vacuum
• Tornado BR 16/3 automatic floor scrubber (99406)

This part is used beyond the cordless uprights. Tacony’s parts records list part# K63431320 against the Strike TV190-W10-U and the BR 16/3 automatic floor scrubber (99406), two very different machines that happen to use the same piece of hardware, so the title carries no model name. Two are fitted to the Strike.

What the Wheel Cap does

The cap does one job: it stops the wheel walking off its stud. It also closes the end of the assembly so that hair and thread have a slightly harder time working their way in behind the wheel. Caps are push-fit parts that get levered off during service, which is the main reason they end up damaged.

Signs the Wheel Cap needs replacing

Replace any cap that no longer clips home firmly, has split at its edge, or has gone missing. A wheel with no cap will stay put for a while and then come off at the worst moment, usually taking a chunk of the stud’s retaining feature with it. If the cap has to be forced on, check the stud rather than the cap.

Fitting the Wheel Cap

With the wheel fitted and spinning freely, press the new cap on squarely until it clips fully home. Do not tap it on at an angle — it will feel seated and will not be. Check by trying to pull the wheel off the stud by hand; there should be no movement along the axle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run the machine with a missing wheel cap?

Not for long. The cap is what keeps the wheel on the stud, and a wheel that comes off in use can damage the stud and the housing as well as stopping the job.

How many caps does a Strike use?

Two, one per rear wheel, matching the two wheels and two axle studs.

Does it fit anything besides the Strike?

Yes. Tacony’s parts records list part# K63431320 on the Strike TV190-W10-U and on the BR 16/3 automatic floor scrubber (99406) — two very different machines that use the same piece of hardware.
