Additional Information
The snowblower flat washer, part number 736-05000, installs between a fastener and the mounting surface to help spread clamping force evenly. This helps reduce loosening, surface damage, and uneven pressure during operation.
You might notice fasteners backing out, components shifting slightly, or visible wear around bolt holes. Missing or deformed washers can also lead to uneven tightening and vibration during use.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The washer installs alongside metal fasteners and brackets, so work gloves can help protect your hands during handling. Place the washer in the correct position and tighten the fastener securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
