Sebo AUTOMATIC X7, AUTOMATIC X7 Premium, AUTOMATIC X8 - Vacuum Cleaner Manual

TECHNICAL DETAILS

WIRING DIAGRAM

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. Never again manually adjust the brush height or use different vacuums for various floor surfaces; the SEBO X cleans them all, automatically!

Brush Adjustment Indicator Lights – Two lights, one for "up" and one for "down," illuminate to indicate when the brush roller is in the process of adjusting to the proper cleaning height. Optimum cleaning occurs when both lights are off.

Bag Full or Clog Light & Auto Shut Off – A warning light will illuminate and the machine will automatically shut off, when it senses a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty micro filter. 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). 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. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to overheating.

Brush Deterioration Light – To ensure optimum cleaning at all times, a warning light will illuminate to indicate when the brush roller should be replaced due to excessive wear. 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.

Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – A warning light will quickly flash, the brush roller will immediately stop spinning and the vacuum will shut off, if an obstruction becomes jammed in the brush roller. This prevents the belt from breaking and protects the motor from damage. 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.

Stationary Use Light – A warning light will slowly flash when the machine is standing in its upright locked position (which causes the power head to rise to its highest point from the floor) yet the brush remains in contact with the carpet fibers. This feature warns of potential carpet damage caused by excessive time in a stationary position, during which carpet fibers remain engaged with the brush, usually on medium to high pile carpet.

LED Head Lamp* - This feature provides illumination for the dark areas of a room.

* depending on model

Easy Brush Roller Removal – Quick brush cleaning or replacement is easy, and no tools are required!

Vacuum Motor – The AUTOMATIC X has a 1300 watt motor.

Instant-use Wand and Suction Hose – The integrated instantuse cleaning wand or suction hose is always ready. Just pull out either tool, or both together, to clean hard-to-reach corners, edges and crevices. The suction hose is ideal for cleaning furniture. And an optional nine-foot extension hose is available, which creates a total hose length of 15 feet, perfect for cleaning stairs. Choose from a range of optional attachments that can be fitted to the cleaning wand or hose. The wand and hose together have an eight-foot reach for instant cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.

A Flat-to-the-floor, 6-inch Profile – Such a low profile makes cleaning under furniture and beds easy!

Forty-foot Cord – A 40-foot cord saves time because it minimizes the number of electrical outlets needed during use.

Lifetime Belt Warranty - No more changing belts...they should last the life of the machine!

Two Power Head Widths – The AUTOMATIC X7 power head is 12 inches wide, with a cleaning width of 10½ inches. The AUTOMATIC X8 power head is 15-inches wide, with a cleaning width of 14½ inches.

Three On-board, Full-size Tools and Large Filter Bag – The vacuum comes standard with a crevice nozzle, dusting brush and upholstery nozzle. Many optional accessories are also available. The filter bag is also SEBO's largest, with a dirt capacity of 1.4 gallons.

STANDARD FEATURES OF ALL SEBO VACUUMS

SEBO's FILTRATION SYSTEM:

Bagged vs. Bagless. . . Bags are Better! – Top-fill, three-layer AeraPure™ bags are an integral part of SEBO's filtration system because they hold virtually all the 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. And they can be tightly sealed with a hygiene cap when full, so no dust can escape into the air during bag removal and disposal.

In contrast, without bags to hold nearly all the captured dirt, the microfilters on bagless vacuums quickly clog from excessive dirt build-up and must be replaced often, or a loss of suction and cleaning effectiveness will occur. In addition, dust and other allergens become airborne when emptying bagless dirt containers. Lastly, bagless vacuum microfilters are expensive, usually costing more than a multi-year supply of SEBO filter bags.

S-class, Pre-motor and/or Exhaust Microfilters

– S-class, Pre-motor and Exhaust Microfilters (S ="Schwebstoff" = airborne particles) are made from electrostatically charged, microfiber material, which attracts and captures dust particles from the airflow of the vacuum before and after it passes over the motor to cool it. Cooling the motor with super-clean air increases motor life and reduces the possibility of maintenance, even after many years of use. Also, the exhaust air is cleaned to the highest level before being emitted from the machine. The S-class Standard requires filters to absorb greater than 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns in diameter. For comparison, 100 microns is the diameter of a human hair. Their advantages are a relatively open texture that allows smoother airflow for better suction performance, a longer life expectancy, and they cost less than HEPA filters.

HEPA, Pre-motor and/or Exhaust Microfilters (Optional) – HEPA Microfilters ("High Efficiency Particulate Air") remove a minimum of 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter down to 0.3 microns in diameter. Because these filters use small, gridlike structures to capture dust particles, dirt build-up clogs the airflow pathway sooner than what is expected from S-class microfilters. However, SEBO's HEPA microfilters are sold along with three-layer AeraPure™ bags, which provide highly effective filtration before the airflow goes through the HEPA microfilter, greatly increasing life expectancy and reducing the potential of diminished air flow.

Designed and Manufactured in Germany – Legendary quality, reliability and performance make SEBO vacuums the first choice of cleaning professionals throughout the world.

World's Best Pet Vacuums – Because of superior power-head and brush-roller technology, SEBO vacuums are the world's best for pet hair removal!

Tightly Sealed Vacuums Ensure Effective Filtration – Dirty air, which flows through a vacuum, can only be filtered completely if it does not escape into the room through seams or seals in the machine. This is why all SEBO vacuums have tight seals throughout.

Many vacuum companies with high-filtration claims are actually quoting specifications made by the manufacturer of the filter material, as measured in the laboratory, not the filtration effectiveness of the vacuum itself while operating. Whether or not dirty air can escape through leaks in the body of the machine is not considered. The filtration effectiveness of SEBO vacuums is tested while they operate.

Reliable, Commercial-grade Components – All SEBO vacuums are constructed with thick, reinforced, ABS plastic, aluminum and metal parts, steel axles and bearings, and high-end, quality motors. Therefore, SEBO users own reliable, long-lasting vacuum cleaners. Competing vacuums are made with thin, flimsy, inexpensive, plastic materials, none of which are reinforced, and typically have useful lifespans of one or two years.

Rubber Wheels and Soft Bumpers Protect Homes – Smoothgliding, rubber wheels protect hard floors and provide exceptional maneuverability. In addition, the bumpers that surround the power heads and the soft AIRBELT bumpers that surround SEBO's canisters protect furniture, walls, and vacuum housings from incurring scuffs and scratches during use.

Advanced, Brush-Roller Technology – SEBO's brush rollers are uniquely designed to funnel hair and debris into the power head's airflow channel, which improves vacuum cleaning performance on all flooring surfaces.

Changing Bags is Easy and Clean – SEBO filter bags can be changed in just a few seconds, and a hygiene cap keeps dust sealed inside during removal and disposal.

Save Money! SEBO Vacuums Last for Years and Extend Carpet Life! – If properly maintained, SEBO vacuums save ordinary, residential users hundreds of dollars, by providing excellent performance for ten to fifteen years or more, and their deepcleaning, power-brush technology extends the life of carpets. Typical vacuums perform poorly, even when new, and usually do not last beyond two years. So six or seven "disposable vacuums" must be purchased during the average life expectancy of just one SEBO machine.

Incredible Warranty Coverage – All SEBO models include a FREE seven-year warranty on the motor and five-years on nonwear parts and labor charges.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS, ACCESSORIES, BAGS & FILTERS

In addition to the standard on-board tools, a variety of optional attachments are available. The 9' 2"extension hose (extends suction hoses) and the 22" extension wand (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.

Another popular attachment is the hand-held turbo brush for removing pet hair from upholstery. SEBO AeraPure™ filter bags can be purchased in boxes of eight and filters are sold separately. SEBO bags, filters and accessories are reasonably priced and widely available. To create a fresh scent while vacuuming, SEBO FRESH is available. To use, deposit a scented stick in the filter bag.

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 (#19, figure 1) to the up positionby 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 (#17, figure 2).
3. With the switch (#2, figure 2) in the "O" (OFF) position, plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt outlet located near the floor.

Switch Position
O = OFF
I = ON

NOTE: The AUTOMATIC X is equipped with a soft start system. The gradual power-up extends vacuum life.

Operating the Machine

Figure 3

When the machine is switched on with the handle in the upright locked position, 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 (24) and lower the handle into the normal operating position. The power head and brush will automatically lower to the appropriate height.

Using the Cleaning Wand, Hose & Attachments

The cleaning wand (21) 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 Figure 3 cleaning wand handle (4), pull it up and away from the machine and stretch out the hose (18) until it locks to the back of the tube (this locking action will prevent the hose from retracting back into the cleaning wand while it is in use). Various attachments may be inserted onto the end of the tube. After use, remove attachment and re-insert the cleaning wand into the back of the machine. Be sure that the cleaning wand handle (4) is inserted over the protruding tab (31) as shown in figure 6. If the cleaning wand handle is properly seated over the protruding 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 cleaning wand or hose.

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! The standard brush roller on your SEBO vacuum is appropriate for most types of floor surfaces. However, a soft-bristle brush roller (X7 part # 5010GE or X5 part # 5290GE) 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!

To use the hose without the cleaning wand (as shown in figure 5), pull the hose out of the cleaning wand while the tube is still attached to the machine and securely seated over the protruding tab (31 figure 6). Insert an attachment tool, if desired, onto the end of the flexible hose. You may also release the hose while the cleaning wand is disengaged from the machine by pressing the hose release button (32) at the base of the cleaning wand handle (4).

While using attachment tools, if the power head brush roller is not able to disengage from the floor surface, the stationary-use warning light will flash. You may keep the brush roller off the carpet by placing the handle (1) in its upright locked position and lowering the handle with one hand to raise the brush roller off of the floor. Operate attachment accessories with the other hand. Or, with the handle in the upright locked position, the machine may be tipped backward so that it rests against furniture or the floor on the back side of the bag housing (15), and the power head is locked in a perpendicular position to the floor. Ensure that no children or pets can come into contact with the spinning brush roller.

To vacuum walls, under beds, or higher-reach areas, etc., the SEBO AUTOMATIC X can be fitted with an optional straight tube (33) and the optional wall and floor brush (34). The machine will then perform as a canister vacuum (as shown in figure 7).

Boost Function (X7 Premium and X7 Premium Pet)

For high energy efficiency and deep cleaning of the carpet, the SEBO AUTOMATIC X7 Premium and X7 Premium Pet vacuums are equipped with a boost button (35). Press the button (35) by hand to activate the boost function. Once activated, the button will illuminate green. To deactivate the boost function, press the boost button again.

NOTE: The boost function will be automatically deactivated when the machine is turned off. After switching on the machine again, the boost function has to be activated separately.

* Depending on model

The Adjustment Wheel

On hard floors (figure 10), the adjustment wheel (36), moves upward into the machine so that the brush lowers and becomes flush with the floor.

On carpeted floors (figure 11), the adjustment wheel (36) moves downward out of the machine so that the brush rises. The adjustment wheel moves up and down automatically to adjust the brush to the correct setting. This provides aggressive brush action, while maintaining optimal air flow.

VACUUM MAINTENANCE

Always unplug vacuum from outlet before dismantling any part of machine!^!

Changing the Filter Bag

Figures 12 & 13

To change the filter bag (37), pull the cover release flap forward (7) and lift the front cover (8) from the bag housing. The cover release flap must remain in a forward "pulled-out" position to change filter bags and SEBO lock them into place. Squeeze the clamps on both sides of the filter bag sealing plate (38), slide the plate from the holder (39) and push the cap (40) on to seal the bag. Slide the sealing plate (38) of a new bag into the holder and push it in firmly. Re-insert cover into bag housing, push it forward, then lock it in place by pushing down the cover release flap. You may find it convenient to store the bag cap inside the bag housing below the filter bag.

Changing the Pre-motor Microfilter

Figures 12 & 14

The pre-motor microfilter (40) needs to be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or clogged with dust, or after approximately 20 filter bags have been used. To change the pre-motor microfilter, pull the cover release flap (7) forward and lift the cover (8) from the filter bag housing. Then, slide the filter out at the bottom. To replace, lift the safety lever (41) and slide the new filter in using the tracks as guides.

Changing the Exhaust Microfilter

After 20 bags have been used, change the exhaust filter (42). To remove the exhaust filter, squeeze the filter door release buttons (43) toward the middle and remove the filter cover (25). Unhook the filter tab (A) from the catch (B) and pull the filter out. Slide the closed end of the new filter into the machine. Fit filter opening (C) to the air channel (D) and lock the filter tab (A) onto the catch (B), making sure it is smooth and flat. The correct positioning of the filter can be checked by looking through the slots (E) on the front of the powerhead. Slide the filter cover (25) into the top of the opening and move it downward until it clicks into place.

Changing the Brush Roller(s)

To change the brush roller(s) (45, 45a), push the brush roller release button(s) (11, 11a), remove the side plate(s) (44, 44a), turn the brush(s) clockwise a quarter of a turn, and pull the old brush roller(s) out. Slide the new brush roller(s) into the brush housing and turn it until it locks into position. While slightly pushing the button(s) (11, 11a), press the side plate(s) (44, 44a) back into the locked position.

Changing the Sealing Strip

The sealing strip (46) is located just behind the brush roller opening. The sealing strip seals the power head to hard floors to prevent kick-back of debris while vacuuming. To replace a worn sealing strip, push the brush roller release button(s) (11, 11a), remove the side plate(s) (44, 44a) and slide the old strip out. Insert the new strip into the slot and slide into place.

CLOG REMOVAL

Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs!

Clogs in the Airflow Pathway

Most clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange colored access door (48) 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).

Clogs in the Attachment Hose

Blockages in the hose can be cleared by removing the attachment hose (18) from the machine by squeezing the retaining ring (6) and inserting the opposite end of the hose in the connecting tube (30). Hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the top end and switch on the machine. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose. If this procedure does not clear the clog, a straight wire can be inserted into the hose to push out the clog. Take care not to puncture the hose with the wire.

Clogs in the Cleaning Wand (Active Wand)

Remove attachment hose (18) from the cleaning wand (21). Then, grip cleaning wand handle (4) and remove tube from the machine. A straight wire can be inserted into the tube to push out the clog.

Clogs in Entrance to Filter Bag

Remove attachment hose (18) from vacuum cleaner (see figure 20) and remove front cover (8). Clean out connecting tube (30) and/or entrance to bag (49).

Clogs in the Swivel Neck

Clogs in the swivel neck (28) can be removed by first pressing the housing release button (10) and lifting off the bag housing (15). Lift upward firmly and evenly to properly remove the bag housing. Then, release the foot pedal (24), lower the swivel neck, check inside the swivel neck channel closest to the foot pedal (see arrow), and clean out pathway.
