Symptoms that the washer needs replacing

Flat washers are cheap and are worth replacing on sight rather than reusing. Discard any washer that is dished, cracked, burred around the bore, or corroded past a light surface bloom. On a machine that vibrates as much as a wide-area vacuum, a tired washer is a common reason a fastener that was torqued correctly is found loose at the next service.

Replacement notes

Match the washer to its original position — the base assembly uses several washer sizes and they are not interchangeable, so laying out fasteners in order during disassembly saves guesswork. Fit the washer under the head of the fastener that turns. If the surface underneath is already dimpled from a previously failed washer, flatten or replace that part too, otherwise the new washer will seat unevenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Washer X1428 do on the Tornado 93030?

It is a #10 zinc-plated flat washer with a 0.75-inch outside diameter, used on the base assembly to spread fastener load across sheet metal and plastic so the joint does not dimple or crack when tightened.

How do I know if my Washer (part# X1428) needs replacing?

Replace it if the washer is dished, cracked, or has rust that has begun to flake, or if the surface under it shows a witness ring or crushing. A washer that has gone concave is no longer spreading load and will let the fastener work loose.
