Float Cover X9080
$12.99
Genuine Tacony OEM float cover (part# X9080) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. Caps the float shut-off assembly and keeps debris off the ball and seat.
The Float Cover (part# X9080) 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 cover that closes over the recovery tank float assembly and shields the shut-off from incoming debris.
What the Float Cover does
The cover keeps the float column protected from what is being pulled into the recovery tank. Hair, fibre and grit thrown up by the vacuum path will happily wedge a float ball off its seat, and a cover that is missing or cracked lets that happen. It also gives the incoming air a defined route rather than blasting straight at the shut-off.
When to replace the Float Cover (X9080)
Replace it when it is cracked, warped, or no longer seats squarely, and any time it is missing entirely. A cover that has been forced back on after a crack usually leaks air at the crack, which reads on the machine as weak recovery.
Float Cover X9080 — fitment and installation notes
Check the float and seat while the cover is off, since that is the only convenient time to do it. Refit without forcing, and make sure the cover is fully home before closing the tank so it is not being held up by a piece of trapped debris. 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.
