Additional information

This push nut, part number 3290-320, holds onto a shaft or stud by gripping its edges so components remain secured without traditional threaded hardware. Proper installation helps prevent parts from sliding off or loosening during operation.

If a component shifts, vibrates excessively, or comes loose during use, a worn, damaged, or missing push nut may be the cause. Visible deformation of the gripping edges can reduce how securely the push nut holds.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire or power source to prevent accidental starting. Press the push nut firmly onto the correct shaft or stud until it locks in place, and confirm it does not pull off under light tension.
