Basetray Plug B016-1914

The basetray plug (part# B016-1914) is the sealing plug that closes an opening in the basetray of the Tornado Roam 97300, keeping the airflow path sealed beneath the nozzle.

On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, the basetray forms part of the ducting that carries debris from the nozzle toward the bag, and the plug seals an access or molding port in that tray. With the plug seated, the tray holds its vacuum so suction is not lost to a leak under the machine.

Replace the basetray plug if it is missing, cracked, or no longer seating tightly, or if you notice reduced suction or air whistling from under the cleaning head. A lost or loose plug bleeds airflow and drops pickup. It is a small, low-cost part that restores a proper seal in the base.
