ExSELLerate® Sales Training Series │SWB 26/8
Introduction
Product Mission
Tornado’s SWB 26/8 was developed to be an industry leading battery powered, walk-behind sweeper,
designed for use on carpeting, as well as hard floor surfaces.
In carpet applications, when cleaning an airport terminal, dining hall, or any other large area, the SWB
26/8 offers more than double the productivity of a traditional, corded, wide area vacuum. The versatility
of the unit allows for cleaning hard floor surfaces as well, and with an operating decibel level below 70
dB, cleaning during the day or in noise sensitive areas is no longer an issue.
The SWB 26/8 operates in an “overthrow” fashion, allowing for maximum use of the debris
bin. “Overthrow” operation lifts the debris up and over the brush and “throws” it into in the debris bin.
This fills the debris bin to its maximum capacity, unlike a “dustpan” design which only partially fills the
debris bin making dumps and refills more frequent. Incorporating sealed, maintenance free, AGM
(Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries, which meet LEED and CIMS-GB standards, the SWB 26/8 maximizes
performance from the 24volt system.
While the type of floor surface will impact run time, the SWB 26/8 operates for approximately two (2)
hours on a single charge. With the on-board charger and the AGM batteries, the unit can be charged
any time it’s sitting idle (opportunity charged). Unlike traditional lead acid batteries, there is no need to
wait for AGM batteries to completely discharge before recharging them. The SWB 26/8 can be re-
charged after ten (10) minutes of use or anytime the unit is sitting idle!
Many of the distinctive features of the SWB 26/8 give your customers options and flexibility to use the
machine for multiple cleaning applications, saving them time and money. And remember, this dual-
purpose machine is effective for cleaning carpets as well as hard floor applications, both indoors and
outdoors.
Target Market
Carpet technicians, janitors, in-house facility managers, and building service contractors will appreciate
the features of Tornado’s SWB 26/8 designed for use on large carpeted areas and hard surfaces. This
unit is perfect for the following environments:
 Convention halls, banquet centers, meeting rooms or anywhere hallways and main areas have to be
kept clean around the clock;
 Schools and universities where clean environments mean improved test scores;
 Retail or hotel settings where round-the-clock clean floors, aisles and hallways signify safety and
continued business success;
 And for BSCs who must deliver maximum cleaning performance and speed, while reducing the total
cost of cleaning.

Installing the Lint Screen
When the SWB 26/8 arrives you will notice a metal lint screen packed inside the debris bin. The lint
screen is to be installed and used when you are operating the SWB 26/8 on carpeting. The lint screen
keeps carpet fibers and lint from clogging the filter.
To install the lint screen:
 Open the debris bin by lifting the debris bin lock and pull back. Remove the lint screen that
was stored inside the debris bin during shipment.
2. Loosen the two wing nuts holding the filter mount in place and remove the filter assembly.
3. Remove the pleated filter from the mounting bracket and place the lint screen in the filter
mount
4. Place the pleated filter back into the filter mount (place it on top of the lint screen so that when
the assembly is reinstalled, the lint screen is the first filter facing down into the collection
hopper).
5. Put the filter assembly back into the unit. Be sure to hand tighten the two wing nuts that hold
the filter assembly in place.
Once the lint screen is installed you do not have to uninstall it when sweeping both carpet and hard floor
surfaces. The lint screen will not reduce the effectiveness of the SWB 26/8 when operating on hard floor
surfaces.
If your customer is not operating the SWB 26/8 on carpeting, they do not need to install the lint screen.
Tornado recommends, however, that your customer retain the lint screen in the event they need to
operate the SWB 26/8 on carpet at a later date.

Sweeper Productivity (Sq. Ft. Per Hour)
Tornado SWB 26/8
The SWB 26/8 is a dual-purpose machine that can be used on both hard floors and
carpet.
The biggest market or opportunity for Janitorial Supply Dealers on the SWB 26/8 is
carpet applications. The SWB 26/8 provides double the performance / productivity of a
traditional, corded, wide area vacuum. Since it’s battery powered, customers also
avoid the need to unplug and plug in a power cord. In addition, the SWB’s side broom
eliminates the need for edge cleaning after sweeping. Unlike a wide area vacuum, the
SWB 26/8 operates at a whisper quite 67 dB, which not only meets LEED standards
for noise levels, it also allows the unit to be used during business hours without inter-
rupting building occupants.
Industrial Sweeper Dealers will find their biggest market for the SWB 26/8 to be hard
floor applications, both indoor and outdoor. Moving from sidewalks and policing of
parking lots, directly into warehouses is effortless for the SWB 26/8. The rugged con-
struction of the unit makes it appropriate for even the toughest applications. Featuring
an impeller fan and filter system, the unit offers superior dust control compared to most
competitive models. Featuring “overthrow” design, the unit maximizes debris bin ca-
pacity and easily picks up all types of debris.
The SWB 26/8 is at home in schools, hospitals, airports, commercial office buildings,
theaters, retail, stores, casinos, sports facilities, and arenas.

Tornado Industries, Inc. is committed to creating a clean, safe and healthy workplace environment
through the use of innovative cleaning technology developed to minimize the impact of cleaning on in-
door and outdoor environments. At Tornado, we care deeply about our planet and realize the cleaning
industry is in a position to make positive and profound contributions to the environment, ensuring that
our children and our children’s children inherit a sustainable and healthy planet. That’s why we carefully
design our machines to deliver not only the latest innovation, but also green features to enhance indoor
air quality (IAQ), use less water and chemicals, create less noise, and produce less moisture. Tornado
embraces the following ecological and corporate values through green and healthy practices:
1. Water conservation: Our products, such as our carpet extractors, deliver adjustable solution control
for safe, healthy and fast-drying floors that eliminate mold and mildew. Our cylindrical brush floor ma-
chines use 30% less water. The design of cylindrical brush machines minimizes splashing and over
spray by containing water within the machine housing. Cylindrical brush machines have six times the
contact pressure of a conventional rotary brush machine, which not only helps reduce water usage, but
also improves worker productivity and reduces labor costs.
2. Less chemicals: Due to recent green legislation and the development of new cleaning standards, all
of our cylindrical brush machines and carpet extractors are designed to use less chemicals as well as
provide increased rotations per minute (RPMs). The adjustable head pressure helps to minimize the
need for powerful and potentially harmful chemicals. Our carpet extractors have enhanced vacuum sys-
tems that limit the possibility of mold and mildew from developing and speed carpet-drying time. The
result? Areas cleaned are ready for use faster and are safer for building occupants.
3. IAQ Enhancement: Vacuum cleaners including uprights, backpacks and canisters can release dust
and debris into the air if they are not designed with advanced infiltration systems. That’s why Tornado
has developed a comprehensive product family of high-filtration vacuums with true HEPA filtration to
minimize dust and exhaust from escaping the vacuum. All of our carpet care cleaning equipment has
been Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI) and Tandus Industries tested and approved for green cleaning.
What’s more, many of our UHS Ultra High Speed machines have passive vacuum systems to trap con-
taminants before they become airborne.
4. Reusable and Recyclable: Our machines are designed with durable polypropylene tanks, housings
and other components that are recyclable after the machine is no longer in use. All Tornado machines
proudly display the recyclable logo. Our long lasting, deep cycle, rechargeable batteries increase run
time and minimize down time and time spent on battery maintenance. Our cylindrical brush technology
creates less environmental waste by utilizing one cylindrical pad to every 100 rotary brush pads, in-
creases the productivity of your maintenance staff with less time spent on pad maintenance and
replacement.
5. U.S. Green Building Council Member: We support standards and the criteria established by
certification bodies such as the U.S. Green Building Council, The Carpet and Rug Institute’s (CRI)
Green Label Certification program, the Green Seal GS-37 standards, and more.
Tornado’s Commitment to
Environmental Sustainability
