Starting The Machine
A. Before turning on your vacuum cleaner, make sure that the
vacuum handle is in its upright locked position and that you have a firm
hold on the handle grip to keep the machine from moving forward.
1. Turn the quick release cable hook (15) to the up position
by moving it to the left or right.
2. Release the power cord plug from the power cord
and lift the cord off of the upper cord hook (26).
3. With the switch (2) in the “O” (OFF) position, plug the
polarized power cord into a 120 volt outlet located
near the floor.

O = OFF
I= ON
Operating Positions
B. When the machine is switched on with the handle in the upright locked
position (see A above), the power head and brush automatically rise from
the carpet. To release the machine from the upright locked position, press
down on the foot pedal (19) and lower the handle into the normal operat-
ing position. The power head and brush will automatically lower to the
appropriate height.
The handle can be lowered to an intermediate stop position in order to lift
up the brush head for maneuvering over rugs, etc. To lower the handle to
a horizontal position useful for vacuuming under beds, the foot pedal must
be pressed a second time. The intermediate stop position can be closed
off by the orange-colored slider (27) on the back of the swivel neck (20),
so that the handle will go from vertical to horizontal in one movement.
WARNING! The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary.
Therefore, upright vacuums with rotating brushes, including your SEBO, may damage some floor coverings or surfaces.
Some types of high-gloss hardwood floors, cushion vinyl, berber carpets, long shag, and delicate or hand-woven carpets are
particularly vulnerable to damage by rotating brushes. When possible, consult the materials supplied by your floor’s manu-
facturer for information on proper upkeep and cleaning. To ensure that your new SEBO vacuum cleaner is compati-
ble with your floor, please test the vacuum cleaner on each type of flooring surface in a small inconspicuous
area to determine if any damage occurs. If damage occurs, stop using the vacuum cleaner immediately!
The standard brush roller on your SEBO vacuum is appropriate for most types of floor surfaces. However, a soft-bristle
brush roller (X4 part # 5010 GE or X5 part # 5290 GE) that is designed for use on sensitive looped-pile carpets and/or hard
floors is available for an additional charge. As with the standard brush roller, you should test the machine using the soft-
bristle brush roller in an inconspicuous area prior to widespread use. The soft-bristle roller will wear more quickly than the
standard brush roller, so it will need to be replaced more often. Also, because the bristles are softer, the height adjustment
on the machine will be slightly lower than normal. Care must be taken to ensure that the bottom of the machine does
not contact the floor. If this happens, damage to the floor could occur. If damage occurs, stop using the vacuum
cleaner immediately!
