Motor Intake Filter 90145

The Motor Intake Filter (part# 90145) is a genuine Tacony OEM foam filter for the Tornado CK 14/1 Pro commercial upright vacuum (Model 98147). It sits directly in front of the motor and catches the fine dust that slips past the paper bag, protecting the motor from grit and keeping the airflow clean.

The motor intake filter is the last line of defense before air reaches the motor. As it does its job it slowly fills with fine particles, and a clogged or matted foam filter restricts airflow just like a full bag does — suction weakens, the motor works harder, and heat builds up inside the vacuum. Because it is inexpensive and quick to change, the 90145 is one of the easiest ways to protect the much more expensive motor on the CK 14/1 Pro.

Replacing it is tool-free: open the filter compartment, lift out the old foam pad, and drop in the new 90145. For best performance, inspect the motor intake filter each time you change the paper bag and replace it whenever it looks gray, matted, or torn. Pairing a fresh motor intake filter with a clean HEPA exhaust cartridge and a new collection bag keeps the CK 14/1 Pro pulling at full strength. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado equipment since 1956.
