Compatible with Tornado Roam 97300/Roam 97300C, Riccar R50TAP/PRIMAP, Simplicity WONDERP, the Baseplate (part# B220-0314) is a genuine Tacony OEM component. This is a shared Tacony OEM part — the same B220-0314 fits Tornado Roam 97300 and Roam 97300C; Riccar R50TAP and PRIMAP; Simplicity WONDERP.
On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, the baseplate forms the underside of the nozzle and sets the ride height of the cleaning head across the carpet. It carries the front and rear wheels, houses the brushroll, and provides the sealing surface the baseplate cover and squeegee close against, so a straight, uncracked baseplate is what keeps airflow concentrated at the brushroll for consistent pickup.
Replace the baseplate if it is cracked, warped, or gouged, if the wheel or brushroll mounting points are broken, or if the machine has been dropped and no longer sits flat. A damaged baseplate shows up as uneven brush contact, scraping or rocking on hard floors, and air leaks that rob the nozzle of suction. Because it anchors everything below the motor housing, inspect it any time the cover is off for a belt or brushroll change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the baseplate do on the cleaning head?
The baseplate (part# B220-0314) is the structural bottom panel of the cleaning head — the molded plate the brushroll, wheels, and nozzle components all mount to. It is the foundation that holds the underside of the head in alignment.
Is the baseplate the same as the baseplate assembly?
No — this is the bare molded plate on its own; the baseplate assembly (D220-0414) comes pre-fitted with the wheels and axles. Choose the bare B220-0314 when your wheels are good and only the plate is cracked.
How do I know the baseplate needs replacing?
A cracked or warped baseplate lets the brushroll, wheels, and squeegee sit out of alignment, which shows up as uneven brush contact or a head that no longer glides flat. Replacing it re-squares the whole underside.
Which machines use the baseplate (part# B220-0314)?
It fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C; see the Compatible Models list above for the exact machines that share it.
