The inside of the chrome part of the lift handle bevels inwards with room for the rod to fit thru. To keep the spring from trying to slide down at an angle with pressure the washer acts as a seat for the spring to sit on and have a flat base. The spring will fit under the thumb button and compress as you screw the button down on the rod.
