Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam Momentary Switch Mounting Bracket X1526

The Momentary Switch Mounting Bracket (part# X1526) is a genuine Tacony OEM part for the Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam cordless backpack vacuum. It is the small bracket on the battery terminal wall that holds the 42VDC momentary switch square to its opening, so the switch is pressed straight rather than at an angle every time the machine is started.

Compatible Models for the Switch Mounting Bracket

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

This is one of the few genuinely Roam-specific parts on the machine. Most of the Pac-Vac platform is shared across Tornado, CleanMax and Powr-Flite, but the switch bracket is listed only for the Roam, so it carries the model in its name rather than a brand-neutral one.

When to replace it: the bracket is bent so the switch sits proud or crooked in its opening; a mounting hole has torn out; the switch will not stay seated and moves when pressed; or the machine has become unreliable to start and the switch itself tests good. A bent bracket is the quiet cause of repeat switch failures — replacing the switch without straightening or replacing what holds it usually buys a few months, not a fix.

Fitting it means taking the battery pack and cover off to reach the terminal wall, unclipping the switch, changing the bracket and reassembling. It is worth doing at the same time as a switch replacement, since both are behind the same cover and the bracket costs a fraction of the switch.

Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado equipment since 1956. The full parts breakdown for this machine is on our Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam parts page, and the manufacturer’s model information is at tornadovac.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Switch Mounting Bracket do on the Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam?

It holds the 42VDC momentary switch square to its opening in the battery terminal wall, so the switch is pressed straight along its axis instead of being loaded at an angle each time the machine is started.

How do I know if my Switch Mounting Bracket needs replacing?

Replace it when the bracket is bent so the switch sits proud or crooked, when a mounting hole has torn out, when the switch will not stay seated and moves under your thumb, or when the machine starts unreliably and the switch itself tests good.

The Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam only, in all three revisions — Models 93016, 93016B-1 and 93016C-1. It is not listed for the other Tacony backpack platforms.
