Product details
Part 834043 is the rectangular upper foam pad that sits against the operator's back on ProTeam's Super Coach Pro 6 and Pro 10, the related 1073110 and 1073120 units, ProVac FS 6, and both GoFree Flex Pro versions, the original and the Flex Pro II. It is part of the cushioning layer between the machine's frame and an eight-hour shift.
Foam does not fail like plastic does; it fails by degree. It compresses a little more with every shift until it stops springing back, and by the time it has gone visibly flat or started tearing at the corners, the operator has usually already adjusted the way they carry the machine to compensate without realizing why.
Pads on the same machine rarely wear at the same rate. Carrying habits, posture, and how the harness is adjusted all shift load toward one contact point or another, so one pad can be flattened while another still springs back even though both went into service on the same day. Judge each pad on its own condition rather than replacing by age.
Since this listing covers the upper pad on its own, a flattened pad here does not have to mean replacing cushioning elsewhere that is still doing its job. A fresh pad restores the layer in this position, and the difference is usually obvious to the operator within the first shift after the swap.
