Lift Pedal X9026

The Lift Pedal (part# X9026) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the foot-operated pedal that actuates the brush lift mechanism.

What the Lift Pedal does

The pedal is the only part of the lift mechanism the operator touches, and it takes a boot on it several times an hour for the life of the machine. It has to give enough leverage to move the linkage against the weight of the brush assembly, hold its position when set, and stay put underfoot when it is wet. Pedals fail from that duty rather than from any subtlety, usually cracking at the pivot or the arm.

When to replace the Lift Pedal (X9026)

Replace it when it is cracked, bent, or worn at the pivot, when the tread surface has worn smooth enough to slip underfoot, or when it no longer holds the mechanism in its set position. A pedal that has to be held down to keep the brush lowered is finished.

Lift Pedal X9026 — fitment and installation notes

Check the whole linkage while the pedal is off rather than fitting a new pedal to a worn mechanism, since play elsewhere will still show up at the pedal. Refit the original pivot hardware, and cycle the brush fully up and down and check it holds at both ends before the machine goes back to work. 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.
