Cover Parts

Find genuine Tornado Tempest cover parts for Model TV400-W26-U. This sheet covers the main cover (part# K55170140), its two swivel-arm hinges (part# K50356100), the gasket that seals it (part# K53650830) and the strap that clamps it shut (part# K50200110). Between them these parts decide whether the machine holds its airflow — a sweeper only develops suction across its full 26-inch path if the cover seals. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado equipment since 1956. Call 763-535-0770 or stop by 5415 West Broadway, Crystal, MN 55428.

The factory cover sheet also numbers five decals and labels. We do not stock Tempest decals online — they are rarely ordered and the sheet does not describe what each one says, so they carry no dots and no rows here. If you need one, call 763-535-0770 and we will identify it against your machine and order it in.

Debris Container Parts

Find genuine Tornado Tempest debris container parts for Model TV400-W26-U. This sheet covers the hopper (part# K50321860) and its release lever (part# K50321830), the main skirt (part# K50321810) and skirt plate (part# K50979670) that seal the sweeping chamber to the floor, and the debris bag clamp assembly that holds a disposable liner (part# K28843580) open. The skirt is a genuine wearing part — it drags on the floor by design — so it is worth checking at every service. Call 763-535-0770.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Tornado Tempest has stopped picking up — where do I start?

Work through the seal path in order of cost. Check the main cover gasket (part# K53650830) and the cover strap (part# K50200110) first, then the main skirt (part# K50321810) at the floor. All three are inexpensive and all three cause the same gradual loss of pickup across the full width. Only then look at the cover itself.

How do I know if the main skirt needs replacing?

Set the machine on a level floor and look along its full width. If the skirt no longer contacts the floor everywhere, or is worn to a wave rather than a straight edge, it needs renewing — and uneven wear usually means the skirt plate (part# K50979670) is bent as well.

Do I need bin liners in the Tempest hopper?

They are optional but they make emptying quicker and far less dusty. The disposable bin liner bags are part# K28843580, ten to a pack, and they are held open by the two debris bag clamps (part# K50978040).

Why are the decals and labels on this diagram not listed?

We do not stock the Tempest decals and labels online — they are rarely ordered and the factory sheet numbers them without describing what each one says. If you need a specific decal, call 763-535-0770 with your machine and we will identify it and order it for you.

Do these parts fit the Tornado Strike or Zephyr?

No. The cover, hopper and skirt assemblies are specific to the Tempest TV400-W26-U. The only shared item on these two sheets is the M5 x 20 screw (part# K73031080), which is used across a wide range of Tornado machines.
