Rocker Switch w/Paddle X9200
$33.99
Genuine Tacony OEM rocker switch with paddle actuator (part# X9200) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. The larger paddle is there so it can be worked without stopping to look.
The Rocker Switch w/Paddle (part# X9200) 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 panel switch with an extended paddle actuator that makes and breaks a machine control circuit.
What the Rocker Switch w/Paddle does
The paddle is the point of this switch. A larger lever means an operator can find and throw it by feel, with a wet hand or a glove on, which is exactly the condition an extractor is used in. Everything behind the paddle is still a rated switch mechanism, so the contact rating governs what circuit it belongs on regardless of how the actuator looks.
When to replace the Rocker Switch w/Paddle (X9200)
Replace it when the paddle is cracked or broken off, when the action has gone soft and no longer detents cleanly, or when the circuit only makes if the paddle is held. Heat marks or a burnt smell at the body mean it goes now, not at the next service.
Rocker Switch Paddle X9200 — fitment and installation notes
Do not fit a plain rocker in place of a paddle switch or the reverse without checking the panel opening and the rating; the two are not interchangeable just because both fit the hole. Work unplugged, photograph the terminals first, and confirm the off position genuinely breaks the circuit before the panel goes back on. 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.
