Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DA B11-97 washer and which pallet jack model uses it?
A: The DA B11-97 is a flat washer or load-bearing washer for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. Washers distribute fastener loads and prevent bolt heads or nuts from sinking into softer materials.
Q: What is the material composition and thickness of the DA B11-97 washer?
A: The DA B11-97 is a steel washer with zinc plating or equivalent corrosion resistance. Material thickness and inner diameter are engineered to match the bolt size and load requirements of the 4YX97 assembly.
Q: Why is the DA B11-97 washer important in pallet jack assembly?
A: The washer prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration and material settling. It also spreads clamping force across a wider surface area, reducing stress on plastic bushings or cast iron components.
Q: When should the DA B11-97 washer be replaced?
A: Replace the washer if the attached bolt becomes loose, the washer surface shows severe corrosion or pitting, or if the washer deforms under load. Corroded or damaged washers lose load distribution effectiveness.
