Which Tornado PS Series spotter do I have?
You do not need a part number to work this out. Everything you need is printed on the machine.
1. Read the plate
Tornado’s own operating instructions for this spotter say to look for a white metal plate or sticker on the unit, and the factory parts book places that serial-number label on the solution tank — the tank body itself, near the switch and the cord. The model number printed on it is the complete answer: 98220 or 98225. Write down the serial number from the same plate while you are there; it is what we ask for on the phone.
2. Base or Deluxe
If the plate is gone, you are deciding between the base machine (98220) and the Deluxe (98225), and here we will be straight with you: from the outside they are close to identical. Same yellow body, same 2-gallon solution and recovery tanks, and the steel transport handle is an option on both rather than standard on either. What actually separates them is inside — the solution pump and the vacuum motor. The one outside difference the factory manual notes is that on the Deluxe the solution hose connects to a fitting on the front of the solution tank. If that does not settle it, do not guess: call 763-535-0770 with the serial number off the plate and we will tell you which machine you have before you order anything.
| Model | What it is | Parts book |
|---|---|---|
| 98220 | PS Spotter, base, 2 gallon | Series G |
| 98225 | PS8225 Spotter, Deluxe, 2 gallon | Series D & E |
Most parts are shared between the two machines. Where a part belongs to only one of them, that product page says so in its Compatible Models list, which is the one place model-specific detail is kept accurate.

Tornado PS Series Spotter Parts – Frequently Asked Questions
Which Tornado PS Series spotter do I have?
Look for the white metal plate or sticker on the machine. Tornado’s own operating instructions point you there, and the parts book places that serial-number label on the solution tank, near the switch and the cord. The model number on it is the answer: 98220 for the base machine, 98225 for the Deluxe. If the plate is gone, call 763-535-0770 with the serial number and we will identify the machine for you.
Is my spotter the base 98220 or the Deluxe 98225?
From the outside the two are nearly identical. Both are 2-gallon machines with the same tanks, and the steel transport handle is an option on both rather than standard on either. The real differences are internal, in the solution pump and the vacuum motor. The one outside difference the factory manual notes is that on the Deluxe the solution hose connects to a fitting on the front of the solution tank. Rather than guess, read the model number off the plate, or call 763-535-0770 with the serial number and we will confirm it.
Do parts for the 98220 also fit the 98225?
Most of them do. The two machines come from different factory parts books but share the great majority of their parts, including both tanks, the hoses, the screens, the gaskets and the switch. The solution pump and the vacuum motor are the positions where they differ. Every product page lists exactly which machine that part fits, so you can check before you order.
My part is not on any of the diagrams. What now?
Call us. The factory books do not number every piece, and some assemblies are sold complete rather than as separate parts. Our staff can identify a part from a photograph or from the serial number off the plate, and tell you whether it is available on its own or only as part of a larger assembly. Call 763-535-0770.
