Gasket X9150
$4.99
Genuine Tacony OEM gasket (part# X9150) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S brush assembly. Seals a joint in the part of the machine that gets the most water thrown at it.
The Gasket (part# X9150) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the sealing gasket for a mating joint within the brush assembly.
What the Gasket does
Gaskets in the brush assembly work harder than the ones higher up the machine. They sit close to where solution is being sprayed and recovered, so they are wet almost continuously, and they take the vibration of a driven brushroll on top of that. Both conditions attack a gasket in different ways, chemistry hardening the material while vibration works the joint, which is why these are the seals that fail first.
When to replace the Gasket (X9150)
Replace it when it has flattened and stays flat, when it has torn or gone hard and glassy, or when the joint weeps despite being correctly tightened. Compression set is easy to spot once the joint is open, because a tired gasket keeps the shape of the joint instead of returning to its own.
Gasket X9150 — fitment and installation notes
Clean both faces back to bare material and fit the gasket dry unless instructed otherwise, since sealant on a gasket joint hides a problem rather than fixing it. Tighten evenly around the joint rather than fully seating one fastener at a time, and never reuse a gasket to save opening the box. 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.
