Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam Bottom Motor Mount BA1213000

The Bottom Motor Mount (part# BA1213000) is a genuine Tornado OEM part for the Pac-Vac 6 Roam cordless backpack vacuum. It sits under the 36 VDC motor in the lower assembly and does two jobs at once: it locates the motor so it runs true in its shroud, and it isolates the motor’s vibration from the machine body and, through it, from the operator’s back.

Compatible Models for the Bottom Motor Mount

• Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam — Models 93016, 93016B-1 and 93016C-1

This mount is listed only for the Roam. The corded Pac-Vac machines use a different motor and different mounts, so check your data label before ordering.

When to replace it: the mount has gone hard and no longer damps vibration; it is split, crumbling or compressed out of shape; the motor has started to sit off-centre or rattle in its shroud; or the machine has become noticeably noisier and harsher to wear without any change in suction. A perished mount is a comfort complaint that turns into a cracked housing if it is left long enough.

It is reached the same way as the motor: filter cap, filter plate and motor cap off, then the shrouds, then the motor lifts out and the mount comes away underneath it. Change it together with the top motor seal, bottom motor seal and the motor’s other soft parts — they all age at the same rate and the strip-down is the expensive part of the job, not the components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the bottom motor mount do on the Pac-Vac 6 Roam?

It locates the base of the 36 VDC motor so it runs true inside its shroud, and it isolates the motor’s vibration from the machine body so that vibration does not reach the operator or work the housing loose.

How do I know if my bottom motor mount needs replacing?

Replace it when it has hardened and stopped damping vibration, when it is split, crumbling or squashed out of shape, when the motor rattles or sits off-centre, or when the machine has become noisier and harsher to wear with no change in suction.
