Spacer 30070

The Spacer (part# 30070) 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 machined spacer that sets the standoff distance between two tank-assembly components.

What the Spacer does

This spacer holds a fixed gap between two parts so a fastener can be drawn fully tight without crushing what sits between them. Getting that gap right is what keeps a bearing, pulley or bracket running in its correct plane instead of being pulled out of alignment as the bolt tightens.

When to replace the Spacer (30070)

Replace it when it is crushed, scored, or measurably shorter than its partner on the opposite side. A spacer that has compressed lets the assembly draw closer than designed, and the usual evidence is a component that has started running at an angle or rubbing something it should clear.

Spacer 30070 — fitment and installation notes

Always refit the spacer that came out of a given position — if a machine has spacers of similar but different lengths, swapping them changes the geometry. Never substitute washers stacked to length; a stack settles and loses the standoff. 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.
