Baseplate Assembly D220-0414

The baseplate assembly (part# D220-0414) is the complete, ready-to-install underside of the cleaning head for the Tornado Roam 97300 — the molded baseplate pre-fitted with its wheels, axles, and hardware so you can restore the nozzle in one step.

On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, this assembly saves you from sourcing the baseplate, front and rear wheels, and axles separately. It sets the ride height of the cleaning head, carries the brushroll compartment, and provides the sealing surface for the squeegee and baseplate cover, so a complete, straight assembly keeps airflow tight at the brush for full-width pickup.

Choose the full baseplate assembly when the original is cracked or warped, when multiple wheels or axles are worn, or after impact damage has left the head rocking or scraping. Signs include uneven brush contact, a cleaning head that no longer glides smoothly, and suction loss from air leaking around a distorted base. Installing it as a unit guarantees the wheels and mounting points line up correctly.
