Operating Positions -Figure 3
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 operating
position. The brush will automatically lower.
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 (28) 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 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! 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!
Using the Attachment Tube, Hose & Attachments
The attachment tube (15) 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 1). 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).
Various attachments may be inserted onto the end of the tube.
After use, remove attachment and re-insert the attachment tube
into the back of the machine. Be sure that the attachment tube
handle (11) is inserted over the projection tab (see #23, page
5). If
the attachment tube
handle is properly seated
over
the projection tab, the
hose
will automatically retract
and you may resume
vacuuming. There is no
need to turn off the
vacuum while switching
from upright vacuuming
to using the attachment
tube or hose.
To use the hose without
the attachment tube (as
shown in figure 2), pull
the hose out of the
attachment tube while the
tube is still attached to
