Starting The Machine - Figures 4 & 5
Before turning on your vacuum cleaner, make sure that the vacuum is in its upright locked posi-
tion (figure 6) and that you have a firm hold on the handle grip to keep the machine from mov-
ing forward.
1. With the power switch (3) in the OFF position, turn the cable hook (17) to the left or right to
release the cable (4). Lift the cable off the upper cable hook - see figure 4.
2. Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt wall outlet located near the floor.
3. Slide the On/OFF switch (3) downward to the ON position - see figure 5.
WARNING!
The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary.
Therefore, 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 flooring manufacturer for
information on proper upkeep and cleaning.
To ensure that your new SEBO vacuum cleaner is compatible 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!

Operating with the Power Head - Figures 6, 7, & 11
A.
When the power head is switched on with the power head neck (figure 6) in the upright locked
position, the brush roller will not spin and the on/off light will illuminate in yellow. To release the
power head from the upright locked position, press down on the foot pedal (15, figure 7) and
lower the power head neck into the normal operating position. The brush roller will then start
spinning and the on/off light on the power head will illuminate in green. The handle can be low-
ered to a horizontal position useful for vacuuming under beds.
B.
To clean delicate or hard floor surfaces with straight suction only, the power head is equipped
with an on/off switch (35, figure 11). When this switch is used to turn off the brush roller, the green
light will change to yellow, indicating to the user that the brush roller is not turning. Pushing the
button again will turn on the brush roller and the light will turn green.
NOTE:
The brush roller is off and stopped only when the machine is in an upright position and the
handle is completely locked in place. If you have the machine at an angle, the brush roller will
spin. Leaving the machine in a stationary position for an extended period of time while the brush
roller is spinning may cause damage to your floor or carpet. You may also switch off the brush
roller by pressing the on/off switch (35, figure 11) on the top of the power head.
Always turn the power switch off when changing heads or unplugging the vacuum.
Slide the
ON/OFF slider on to its OFF position, then unplug the vacuum when changing heads or storing
the vacuum. Make sure the handle is in its upright locked position before letting go of the han-
dle.
NOTE:
When switching off the power switch, always make sure the switch “clicks” into the
OFF position before unplugging the power cord.
When you have finished using the vacuum, turn it off by sliding the on/off switch to the OFF posi-
tion. Then, unplug the cord and wind it onto the upper cable hook and upper hook. The rubber
tip on the end of the handle allows the vacuum to be propped against a wall without damage.
