Tornado 98166 Accessories and Consumables

Accessories and consumables for the Tornado 98166 Marathon 800 — the wands, hand tools and hoses that attach to the machine rather than sit inside it. These are the items an operator reaches for daily and the ones most often replaced through wear rather than failure.

What is in the Tornado 98166 accessories and consumables section

This section covers fourteen items on the factory drawing. The hand tools include stair tools in stainless steel at several pressure ratings, upholstery tools, crevice tools and detail tools in 1-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch sizes. The wands are double-bend units with brass valves and factory nozzles. The hoses include a ten-foot gray solution line with cuffs, a twenty-foot insider hose assembly rated to 400 P.S.I., and a twenty-foot high-pressure hose assembly.

Which series does this fit?

These parts come from the current Series F parts book for the Marathon 800. Older Series B through Series E machines are built with different assemblies — not simply different part numbers — so an early machine may not take what is listed here. Call 763-535-0770 with your serial number and we will confirm before you order.

Choosing the right tool and pressure rating

Pressure rating is the thing to check first. The tools in this section run from 120 P.S.I. up to 800 P.S.I., and fitting a low-rated tool to a machine running higher pressure is how hand tools split at the neck. Match the rating to your machine and to the work: upholstery and detail tools for furniture and edges, stair tools for treads and risers, crevice tools for corners.

Do these accessories fit other extractors?

Many of them do. The wand and hand-tool numbers in this section are shared across several self-contained and portable extractors, so the fitment list on each product page names every machine we have confirmed rather than only the Marathon 800. If you run more than one extractor, check the individual part page before assuming a tool is machine-specific.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wands and tools fit the Tornado 98166?

The accessories sheet for this machine lists double-bend extractor wands, stair tools in several widths and pressure ratings, crevice and detail tools, upholstery tools, solution and insider hoses, a high-pressure vacuum and solution hose, and a 50-foot extension cord. They connect through the standard 1-1/2 inch cuff, so the choice is mostly about pressure rating and the kind of work you do.

Which upholstery tool should I pick?

Match the tool to the pressure you actually run. The double-chamber stainless tool, part AA144DC, is rated to 300 p.s.i. and is the usual choice for general upholstery; the metal 500 p.s.i. tool suits higher-pressure work. A tool rated below your pump pressure will leak at the head long before it wears out.

Do I need a high-pressure hose on the Tornado 98166?

Your hose has to be rated at or above the pressure your pump delivers. If you are adding a high-pressure wand or tool, check the hose rating at the same time — fitting a 400 p.s.i. wand to a low-pressure hose is the most common way these setups fail, and it fails at the hose, not the wand.

How do I order a Tornado 98166 wand, tool or hose or get help choosing?
