Solution Tank Lid X9081
$14.48
The Solution Tank Lid (part# X9081) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the recovery and solution tank assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the moulded lid that closes the solution tank fill opening and keeps debris out of the clean-water side.
What the Solution Tank Lid does
The Solution Tank Lid caps the fill opening on the clean-water tank. It keeps mop strings, grit and floor debris out of the solution the machine is about to spray through its jets, and it lets air in behind the draw so the pump does not pull a vacuum on the tank as the level drops.
When to replace the Solution Tank Lid (X9081)
Replace it when the lid is cracked, when it no longer seats squarely, or when it has warped so that it rocks in the opening. Warping is common if the machine is stored in a hot vehicle. A lid that will not sit flat lets debris in, and grit in the solution tank ends up blocking the spray jets.
Solution Tank Lid X9081 — fitment and installation notes
Check the lid seats fully before every fill. If you are chasing blocked jets, inspect the lid and the tank opening together — a poorly seating lid is a far more common cause of jet blockage than a failed pump. Tacony builds the Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S on a single machine platform, so this component carries across both brands rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
