Hayward AquaBug/Penguin/Wanda the Whale/Diver Dave/PoolVac Ultra/PoolVac XL/PoolVac V-Flex/PoolVac Classic/Navigator V-Flex/Navigator Pro/Hayward Blu Cone Gear Bushing (AXV306)
The cone gear bushing is a replacement part that is made by Hayward. The same high-quality materials were used to manufacture the original factory part. Making this a genuine OEM product.
This bushing was created to be the application between the cone gear and the upper middle body. Meaning it separates the faces of these two plastic pieces while allowing a certain amount of movement. This helps decrease the amount of wear that these two parts would create without it, they would have to be replaced regularly which would become very costly in both time and money.
This part is red yet larger than the spindle gear so that way the gear can easily fit inside of it. Now, this part can wear or deteriorate over the length of time and use of the cleaner. So it’s always good to check these parts periodically and replace them when needed.
