Tornado Tempest Filter and Blower Cap K55002560

This is the cap shown in the Tornado Tempest filter and blower assembly. Tacony’s parts book describes it only as Cap and there is no dealer record for the number, so we have named it for the assembly it appears in rather than guessing at a function.

What the Filter and Blower Cap Does

Caps in this position close an opening in the assembly — typically an access or moulding aperture that has to be shut once the machine is built. On a filtration assembly that matters more than it sounds, because an open aperture on the clean side of the filter is a bypass route for unfiltered air.

Where It Sits on the Machine

It is fitted in the filter and blower assembly on the Tempest filter and blower diagram, near the linkage bushing and the assembly seal.

Compatible Models for the Filter and Blower Cap

When to Replace It

Replace the cap if it is cracked, distorted, or missing. A missing cap is worth replacing rather than ignoring: it is a small part, and on a filtration assembly an open hole undoes work that much more expensive parts are doing.

Fitting Notes

Make sure the aperture and the cap’s sealing face are clean before fitting, and that the cap seats fully rather than being pushed in at an angle. Check it is secure by hand before closing the assembly up.
