30 Foot Extension Cord CMPS-EXT30

The 30 foot extension cord (part# CMPS-EXT30) is the genuine Tacony yellow detachable power cord used on ultra-lightweight and commercial uprights built with a pigtail lead instead of a fixed cord. It plugs onto the machine’s short lead at one end and into the wall at the other, giving 30 feet of working reach.

This is a genuine Tacony OEM cord. It is shared across brands — Tacony catalogues it under CleanMax, and it is also the cord listed on the Tornado CK ULW 13/1 factory handle and body sheet.

Compatible Models for the 30 Foot Extension Cord CMPS-EXT30

• Tornado: TV280-W12-U (CK ULW 13/1)
• CleanMax: CMP-3N, CMP-3QD, CMP-3T, CMPS-QDZ

What decides fit is the connector, not the badge on the machine: any of these uprights built with the detachable pigtail lead takes the same cord. If your machine has a cord permanently wired into it, this is not the part you need. Call 763-535-0770 with your model number and we will confirm which cord your machine takes.

What the CMPS-EXT30 does

These machines are built with the power cord separated from the body by a short pigtail lead, so the long cord is a consumable rather than part of the machine. That is deliberate: the cord is the part that gets run over, yanked from the socket and closed in doorways, and making it detachable means a damaged cord is a two-second swap instead of a rewiring job. At 30 feet it also sets how much floor you can cover from one socket.

Signs you need a new cord

Take a cord out of service if the outer jacket is cracked, cut or shows copper, if either end is scorched, melted or loose in its socket, or if the machine cuts out when the cord is flexed. Stiffness and discolouration along the jacket mean the insulation is ageing even when nothing is visibly torn. In commercial use a spare cord on the shelf is worth having — a failed cord stops the machine as completely as a failed motor.

Installation and fit

No tools. Unplug from the wall first, pull the old cord off the pigtail lead, push the new one on until it seats fully, and check it grips before you start. Store it coiled rather than wrapped tight around a hook, and keep it out from under the wheels — the two habits that kill cords early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the CMPS-EXT30 cord?

It is 30 feet, in the familiar safety yellow. It is a detachable cord: it plugs onto the machine’s pigtail lead rather than being wired into the machine, so it comes off for storage and can be swapped in seconds without tools.

Which machines does it fit?

It is confirmed on the Tornado CK ULW 13/1 (TV280-W12-U) and on the CleanMax CMP-3N, CMP-3QD, CMP-3T, CMPS-QDZ and Zoom ZM-500 and ZM-700 uprights. The cord fits by connector, not by badge — any of these machines using the detachable pigtail arrangement takes the same cord.

When should I replace an extension cord rather than repair it?

Replace it as soon as the jacket is cracked, cut or shows copper, if the plug or connector is scorched, loose or will not grip, or if the machine cuts out when the cord is moved. A taped repair on a commercial cord is not a repair — it is a shock and fire risk that will fail an inspection.

Can I use a hardware-store extension cord instead?

Not in place of this one. The CMPS-EXT30 terminates in the connector the machine’s pigtail lead expects, and it is specified for the current the machine draws over 30 feet. A generic cord either will not connect or will be the wrong gauge for a commercial machine run all day.
