Additional information
This flat washer, part number 736-0418A, installs under a bolt or nut to help spread clamping force over a wider surface area and reduce wear on mounting points. Proper washer placement helps fasteners stay tight and components remain aligned during operation.
If a fastener loosens repeatedly, sinks into the mounting surface, or parts shift out of position, the washer may be worn, bent, or missing. Corrosion or deformation can also prevent the washer from distributing load evenly.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the power source appropriate for your equipment to prevent accidental operation. Place the washer in the correct position and tighten the fastener securely without over-torquing.
