Nozzle Cover Assembly D017-3900

The Nozzle Cover Assembly (part# D017-3900) is the complete front cover unit for the Tornado CK-LW 13/1 ProLite, models 97130 (115V) and 97131 (230V) — the assembled part rather than the bare shell.

An assembly is the right choice when a machine has had a real impact rather than accumulated wear. Rebuilding a damaged nozzle from individual mouldings means matching the cover, the housing and the fasteners and then hoping the geometry comes back true; the assembly arrives already true, which on a nozzle matters because the whole front of the machine has to sit flat against the floor to seal.

• Tornado CK-LW 13/1 ProLite, model 97131 (230V)

This is a Tornado-liveried part. The factory catalogues it for the Tornado CK-LW 13/1 ProLite only — models 97130 and 97131 — and not for the Powr-Flite PF62EC, even though the two machines share most of what is underneath. That is expected on a branded cover: the shell carries the brand, the mechanism does not.

Choosing between the assembly and the parts

Fit the assembly where the damage has gone beyond the visible shell — a nozzle that no longer sits square, mounting bosses broken out, or cracks running into the housing. Where the shell alone is cracked and everything it mounts to is sound, the yellow nozzle cover on its own is part number B017-3697B and is the cheaper fix.

While the nozzle is off, it is the natural moment to change the brush roll, the belt and the squeegee, because all three are already accessible and all three are consumables on this machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which machines does this assembly fit?

The Tornado CK-LW 13/1 ProLite, models 97130 and 97131. It is a Tornado-liveried part and is not catalogued for the Powr-Flite PF62EC.

Do I need the assembly or just the cover?

If only the outer shell is cracked and everything it mounts to is sound, the cover alone (B017-3697B) is the cheaper fix. If the nozzle no longer sits square or mounting bosses are broken out, take the assembly.

What else is worth doing while the nozzle is off?

The brush roll (B012-3000), the belt (B014-0814B) and the squeegee (B015-2414B). All three are consumables and all three are already accessible at that point.
