Work from the diagram rather than from a part description. Find the item on the exploded view, note its callout number, then click the dot beside it — the callout number on the sheet is the one piece of information that identifies a part without ambiguity. Three callouts carry more than one option: the nozzle sheet lists two belts and two baseplates under one number each, and the handle sheet lists three bag choices under callout 23.
The CK ULW 13/1 is built on the same platform as several Riccar and Simplicity ultra-lightweight uprights and shares the great majority of its parts with them, so most items here also fit those machines. Each product page lists the models confirmed for that part. If yours is not named, call 763-535-0770 with the model number and we will check the factory part list before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What machine is the Tornado CK ULW 13/1?
It is Tornado’s 13-inch ultra-lightweight commercial upright, model TV280-W12-U. It is a corded machine — its factory sheets list a circuit breaker, ground wire, pigtail cord assembly and a 30-foot extension cord, and no battery or charger.
Is the CK ULW 13/1 a cordless machine?
No. It runs on mains power through a 30-foot extension cord (CMPS-EXT30, callout 27 on the handle sheet). There is no battery pack or charger in any of its factory assemblies.
Which parts wear out first?
Bags and belts, then the brushroll and baseplate on the nozzle, then the cord hooks and neck couplings on the handle. Those are the items worth keeping on the shelf if the machine is in daily commercial use.
Do Riccar or Simplicity parts fit this machine?
Many of the same Tacony part numbers appear on Riccar and Simplicity ultralights, because these machines are built on a shared platform rather than being the same machine. Go by part number and by the compatible-models list on each product page, not by brand.
Can you help me find a part that is not listed here?
Yes. These pages carry every part on the two factory sheets for this model, but if you need something that is not on them — or you are not sure which callout you are looking at — call 763-535-0770 with your model number and we will identify it.
