A flat washer is used with many types of lawn and garden equipment, such as lawnmowers and log splitters. In many cases, the washer is used to hold a bolt in place on a blade. It will often be found between the blade surface and the bolt. The washer is flat with a center hole and ensures the main components of the equipment stay stable and held together when the machine is being used.Over time, the washers on lawn equipment can start to become damaged or break which can result in subpar performance. If a visual inspection shows that the flat washer has warped or is broken, it will need to be replaced. The process is fairly easy and will require nothing more than a screwdriver or socket wrench. The screw or bolt near the washer will need to be removed so the washer can be replaced.This washer is a genuine OEM replacement part that comes as an individual component sourced directly from the manufacturer.
