Tornado Power Cord Assembly 230V EU Plug 31094

The Tornado 230V power cord assembly (part# 31094) is the genuine OEM supply lead for the Marathon carpet extractors, terminated with a European plug for 230-volt mains. It is a complete assembly rather than a length of flex: the cord, the moulded plug and the machine-end termination are supplied together, which is what keeps the strain relief and the earth connection to specification.

Worth noting from the parts book: this cord is catalogued across all four Marathon machines, the 115-volt 98166 and 98168 as well as the 230-volt 98167 and 98169. That reflects how the machines are built for different markets. Confirm what your machine is actually wired for before ordering a 230-volt EU-plug cord for it — call us if you are unsure and we will check it against your serial number.

When to replace the Tornado 230V power cord

The supply cord takes more physical abuse than any other electrical part on the machine. It is dragged across floors, run over by the machine’s own wheels, pulled from the socket by the cord rather than the plug, and coiled and uncoiled many times a day. Replace it as soon as you see cracked or perished insulation, exposed conductors, flattened or crushed sections, scorching or discolouration at the plug, a plug body that has gone loose on the cord, or any cut however shallow. There is no partial failure worth living with on a mains lead.

An intermittent fault that comes and goes as the cord is flexed, or a machine that trips its supply protection, frequently traces back to the cord or its strain relief rather than to anything inside the machine. Check it before you open the control panel. Replace the whole assembly rather than splicing or taping a damaged section: a repaired mains lead on a wet-work machine is not a repair, and taped joints fail exactly where water gets to them.

Always disconnect the machine before replacing the cord, and route the new lead so it cannot be caught under the wheels. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado equipment since 1956. This is a 230-volt export part, so it is listed as call-for-price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Tornado 230V power cord assembly do?

It is the complete supply lead that carries 230-volt mains to the machine, comprising the cord, the moulded European plug and the machine-end termination. Supplying it as one assembly keeps the strain relief and earth connection to the manufacturer’s specification.

How do I know if my power cord (part# 31094) needs replacing?

Replace it on sight of cracked or perished insulation, exposed conductors, crushed sections, scorching at the plug, a plug that has gone loose on the cord, or any cut at all. An intermittent fault that changes as the cord is flexed, or a machine that trips its supply protection, often traces to the cord rather than the machine.

What models is the Power Cord Assembly 230V EU Plug (part# 31094) compatible with?

The Tornado 98166 and 98167 Marathon 800 extractors and the Tornado 98168 and 98169 Marathon 1200 extractors. Because it is a 230-volt EU-plug lead catalogued across machines built for different markets, confirm your own machine’s supply before ordering.
