HELICAL SPRING LOCKW

Diagnosing misalignment can come down to one worn component—Helical Spring Lockw (part 03-1410-03) is a common replacement item. If the machine is showing misalignment, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.

If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
