Chain 28″ X9144

The 28″ Chain (part# X9144) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the 28 inch retaining chain that tethers a removable component to the machine over a longer reach.

What the 28″ Chain does

Chain length is chosen for the job. Twenty-eight inches lets whatever it holds be set aside or swung clear while the machine is being worked on, without the chain going tight and pulling on its anchor. Fit a shorter chain in this position and the part cannot reach where it needs to go; fit a longer one and it drags on the floor or finds its way into something moving.

When to replace the 28″ Chain (X9144)

Replace it when a link has opened or is deformed, when an end fitting has worn thin, or when corrosion has left it stiff. A chain repaired by bending a link closed will fail again at that link, usually at the least convenient moment.

Chain X9144 — fitment and installation notes

Check the anchor point at both ends as well as the chain, because a sound chain on a cracked tab is no tether at all. Route it so it cannot swing into the brush, the wheels or the vacuum path, and replace it rather than lengthening it with an added link of unknown grade. 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.
