IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
SEBO AUTOMATIC X PRODUCT FEATURES Designed for All Floor Surfaces. Automatic Height Adjustment for All Floors – Based upon the resistance of the brush roller against the floor, the power head automatically adjusts up or down to the appropriate cleaning height, providing optimal cleaning of all floor surfaces. 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.
STANDARD FEATURES OF ALL SEBO VACUUMS SEBO’s FILTRATION SYSTEM: Bags are Better! – Top-fill, three and fourlayer bags are an integral part of SEBO’s filtration system because they hold virtually all dirt captured by the vacuum, which improves the effectiveness and useful life of the microfilters. They also ensure continuously strong suction because dirt enters from the top, deposits at the bottom, accumulates upward, and air exits through the sides, which allows unimpeded airflow as they fill to capacity.
OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS, ACCESSORIES, BAGS & FILTERS In addition to the standard on-board tools, a variety of optional attachments are available. The nine-foot extension hose (extends suction hoses) and the 20-inch extension tube (extends instant-use wands) are very popular because they create useful tools for cleaning stairs and out-of-reach areas. These two items are sold separately or as part of multiple item attachment kits.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Starting The Machine - Figures 1 & 2 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, figure 1) 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, figure 2). 3.
Using the Attachment Tube, Hose & Attachments Figures 4, 5 & 6 The attachment tube (16) is useful for vacuuming corners and hard-to-reach areas. The handle grip (1) should be in the upright, locked position (as shown in figure 4). Grip the attachment tube handle (11), pull it up and away from the machine and stretch out the hose (12) until it locks to the back of the tube (this locking action will prevent the hose from retracting back into the attachment tube while it is in use).
VACUUM MAINTENANCE ! Always unplug vacuum from outlet before dismantling any part of machine! Changing the Dust Bag - Figure 10 To change the dust bag, pull the cover release flap forward (#5 on page 6) and lift the cover (7) from the dust bag housing. The cover release flap must remain in a forward “pulled-out” position to change dust bags and lock them into place.
CLOG REMOVAL ! Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs! Clogs in the Airflow Pathway - Figure 15 Most clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange colored access door (38) located on the underside of the power head. However, other clogs may only be removed by accessing the airflow pathway by disassembling the machine in the opposite sequence of the machine’s original assembly (see assembly, page 6).
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE ! Always unplug vacuum from outlet before dismantling any part of the machine! PROBLEM REASON SOLUTION Does not turn on or machine shuts off intermittently 1. Handle not fully inserted into the bag housing, causing a faulty connection. 1. Release handle catch, push handle down, close handle catch. See pg. 6. 2. Not plugged into good outlet. 2. Use another outlet. 3. Cable worn. 3. Replace cable. 4.
