LOCKWASHER (Komatsu KO01602-21448)

KO01602-21448: A worn lockwasher can compromise fastener retention in critical assemblies. This aftermarket replacement part references the Komatsu catalog and carries the cross-reference number KO01602-21448. A lockwasher is a type of hardware washer that resists loosening under vibration. Its plain mechanical function is to create axial tension between a nut and the mating surface. A generic failure consequence is that a collapsed or flattened lockwasher may allow the fastener to back off over time. During routine service, a lockwasher should be replaced if it shows signs of deformation or cracking. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
