Sebo X4 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Page 4
Your SEBO automatic X series vacuum cleaner is the most technically advanced upright vacuum cleaner in
the world. Along with its excellent filtration system (99.9% to 0.3 microns), one of its most important features
is its ability to “monitor” the resistance of the brush roller against the floor, so that the proper cleaning height
is consistently maintained. In addition, the machine has warning systems and automatic shut-off capabilities
that are designed to alert the user to machine problems that, if ignored, will damage the machine or diminish
performance.
Your SEBO
automatic’s five most unique features are:
1.
Automatic Power Head Height Adjustment. Based upon the resistance of the brush roller against
the floor, the power head automatically adjusts up or down to the appropriate cleaning height. The
adjustment process is indicated by two green lights labeled “UP” and “DOWN” located on top of the
power head. The height adjustment chosen by the machine ensures aggressive brush action, while
providing optimal air flow. This prevents suffocation of air flow due to improper height selection.
2.
Brush Roller Obstruction – Auto Shut-Off. If the brush roller is obstructed, the machine will shut off
in 3 seconds and the red “CHECK BRUSH” light located on top of the power head will flash. The user
should turn the switch off, unplug the machine and immediately remove the obstruction. If the user
restarts the machine without removing the obstruction, the machine will again shut off in 3 seconds and
the “CHECK BRUSH” light will flash.
3.
Brush Roller Deterioration Warning. The red “CHECK BRUSH” light will illuminate (after a
10 second delay) to notify the user that the brush roller is too worn and, therefore, should be replaced.
The light will remain illuminated until the worn brush roller is replaced, but the machine will continue to
operate in the meantime.
4.
Stationary Use Warning. When the machine has its handle in the upright-locked position, it is
designed to disengage the brush roller from the floor by raising the height of the power head. If the
power head reaches its highest brush height but is still engaged in the carpet, the “CHECK BRUSH”
light will slowly flash to alert the user. This can occur on extremely high-nap carpet, such as loose-pile
shag, or on carpets with extraordinarily thick padding underneath. However, it is typically caused by the
user pulling forward on the machine while using the attachment hose or active wand. This feature was
designed to be an alert to the user to “take care” while the machine is stationary. An operating machine
should not stand stationary on the floor for inappropriate periods of time.
5.
Bag Full or Clog Warning – Auto Shut-Off. If the vacuum’s air flow pathway becomes restricted
due to a full bag or the existence of a clog, the red “BAG FULL OR CLOG” light located on top of the
power head will illuminate. If the user ignores this warning for approximately 30 seconds, the machine
will shut off and the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” light will flash. The user should turn the switch off, unplug
the machine and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog (to remove a clog, refer to the Clog
Removal section on page 9). If the user restarts the machine without having solved the problem, the
“BAG FULL OR CLOG” light will again illuminate and the machine will shut off in 30 seconds.
