This sheet covers the solution bladder, the recovery tank and its internal and external pipe assemblies, the clear lid through which the operator watches recovery, the gaskets and O-rings at every joint, the standpipe and its mounting clamp, the intake filter and in-line strainer, the hose bellow and clamps, and the frame members that carry the tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Tornado 98169 losing suction on the recovery side?
Usually a seal rather than the vacuum motor. Check the tank lid gasket, the clear lid seal and the hose bellow where the hose enters the tank, then the intake filter for clogging. These are inexpensive parts and account for most suction complaints.
Does the 12 gallon bladder also fit the Marathon 800?
The manufacturer’s parts records list this bladder across the 8-gallon Marathon 800 machines as well as the 12-gallon 1200s. If you run an 800 and want certainty before ordering, call us with your serial number and we will confirm it.
How often should the tank gaskets be replaced?
Inspect them whenever the lids are off and replace any that have taken a permanent set or show cracking. On a machine in daily service that is typically once a year, and they are cheap enough that replacing early is worthwhile.
Why does the recovery tank say to order it with another part?
The recovery tank is supplied paired with the chassis part number shown beside it, because the tank seats into that chassis. Order them together unless you are certain the existing chassis is sound.
