Tornado Pac-Vac 10 Qt Yellow Front Cover BAA0043108

The Yellow Front Cover BAA0043108 is the genuine Tacony OEM 10 quart front cover for the Tornado Pac-Vac range. It is the moulded yellow panel on the front of the machine that closes the bag compartment, and it works harder than it looks: it clamps the compartment shut against the two metal latches so the bag chamber actually seals, it shields the bag and the compartment gaskets from impact, and it is the first thing to hit the door frame every time the machine goes through one.

That makes it one of the most frequently replaced parts on a commercial backpack. Cracks usually start at a latch lug or at a dropped corner, and once a lug has gone the cover no longer pulls down tight. What follows is a bag compartment that will not seal: air bypasses the bag, suction at the hose falls away, and fine dust works its way out around the front of the machine while the operator is cleaning. Replace the cover when it is cracked, when a lug is broken or deformed, when the face has warped enough that the bag compartment seal cannot seat evenly, or simply when it is too scarred to present well.

Fitting the cover

The front cover is reference 9 in the Tornado Pac-Vac parts book and is one of the more straightforward repairs on the machine — it comes off the front of the body with the metal latches, and no motor or filter work is involved. Check the two metal latches (A352-3300) and the bag compartment seals (B352-6100) while the cover is off. A cover that cracked from being over-latched usually means the seal underneath has already flattened, and replacing the pair restores the seal properly rather than moving the leak somewhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Yellow Front Cover (part# BAA0043108) do on a Tornado Pac-Vac?

It is the yellow moulded panel that closes the front of the 10 quart bag compartment. It clamps the compartment shut against the two metal latches so the bag chamber seals, it protects the bag and the compartment gaskets from impact, and it is the part that takes every knock as the machine is carried and set down.

How do I know if my Yellow Front Cover needs replacing?

Replace it when it is cracked, when a latch lug has broken so the cover will not pull up tight, when it has warped enough that the bag compartment seal cannot seat all the way round, or when it is too scarred to look right on a customer site. A cover that will not clamp lets air bypass the bag, costing suction and letting dust escape at the front.

What models is the Yellow Front Cover (part# BAA0043108) compatible with?

Tornado Pac-Vac 10 Aircomfort 93014 and 93014B, and the Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Aircomfort 93012B where it is built in the 10 quart configuration. This is the 10 quart cover; the 6 quart machines use BAA0013108.

What is the difference between BAA0043108 and BAA0013108?

Capacity. BAA0043108 is the 10 quart front cover and BAA0013108 is the 6 quart cover. They are not interchangeable, so order by the quart size of your machine. The 93012B parts book lists both at reference 9 because that machine is built in either capacity.
