Sebo DISCO - Floor Polisher Manual

SPECIAL SEBO PRODUCT FEATURES

Your SEBO DISCO ultra-high-speed suction polisher is a high quality, reliable, innovative product that has been developed and made in Germany with the most modern technology. The 2,000 rpm disc speed combined with an appropriate floor maintenance product creates a protective floor coating with a high gloss finish. By using the floor polisher at regular intervals, it will protect your hard floors against cracks, dirt and dampness and will retain the value and beauty of the surface. An important feature is its ability to "monitor" the resistance of the floor pad against the floor, so that the proper height is consistently maintained. In addition, the machine has warning systems and automatic shut-off capabilities that are designed to alert the user to machine problems that, if ignored, will damage the machine or diminish performance.
Your SEBO DISCO'S five most unique features are:

1. Automatic Pad Height Adjustment. The SEBO DISCO adjusts the floor pad automatically to the appropriate floor height. The torque of the rotating floor pad is constantly measured ensuring optimal performance on hard floor surfaces.
   
2. Rotating Swivel Neck. The 90º vertical and 180º horizontal turning swivel neck allows the SEBO DISCO to move with ease around furniture and into tight spaces
   
3. Bumper Guards and Rolling Castors. The SEBO DISCO has two soft bumpers to protect your furniture and walls against scratches and scuffing. The DISCO head glides on three rubber-coated castors that will not mark your flooring. At the rear are two 360º flexible castors which are fixed on a solid steel shaft. The castor in the center supports and stabilizes the head. The flexible castors along with the turning swivel neck assure smooth maneuverability.
   
4. Stationary Use Protection. When the machine has its handle in the upright-locked position, it is designed to disengage from the floor by raising the height of the floor pad. The pad will stop spinning. An operating machine should not stand stationary on the floor for inappropriate periods of time. If the floor pad should come in contact with carpet, the pad will raise from the floor and stop spinning.
5. Bag Full or Clog Warning – Auto Shut-Off. If the polisher or vacuum's air flow pathway becomes restricted due to a full bag or the existence of a clog, the red LED light located on top of the DISCO will illuminate. If the user ignores this warning for approximately 30 seconds, the machine will shut off. 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 red LED light will again illuminate and the machine will shut off in 30 seconds.

ASSEMBLY

Fit the floor pad (13) to the pad retainer (14), using the notches as a guide for correct position. Press the pad down onto the pad retainer (14) until it locks in place. See figure 1.

Press the retainer tabs (15) in using your thumb and forefinger and turn the pad clockwise until it locks into place again. See figure 2

To attach the DISCO to your SEBO FELIX, C3.1 or K3: place the DISCO on the floor with the swivel neck (5) upright. Hold the vacuum vertically and Insert the suction opening of the FELIX (16) or the electric telescopic tube (17) of your C3.1 or K3 into the swivel neck of the head. Push firmly and evenly downward until the head release button (6) snaps into the locked position. See figure 3.

To attach the DISCO to your central vac wand: Use the SEBO adapter (#18, figure 4 - part # 2780 AM)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Intermediate Maintenance:
Regular polishing of the coating will maintain an even finish and will ensure a longer lasting bright appearance of the floor. Vacuum the floor first, before using the polisher, to remove dirt and dust.
NOTE: Vacuum the floor surface THOROUGHLY before using the polisher. Grit and debris left on the floor can cause damage. Always inspect the pad before use - any grit that becomes embedded in the pad can damage your floor.

Floor Suitability
* Please refer to the maintenance guide of the manufacturers of your floors for recommended maintenance and floor maintainers.

** Please note that damage may occur if used on these types of floors.

The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary. Therefore, machines with rotating pads, including your SEBO DISCO, may damage some floor surfaces. Some types of hardwood floors, cushion vinyl, cork and porous stone or tile are particularly vulnerable to damage by rotating brushes or pads. When possible, consult the materials supplied by your floor's manufacturer for information on proper upkeep and cleaning. To ensure that your new SEBO DISCO is compatible with your floor, please test the polisher on each type of flooring surface in a small inconspicuous area to determine if any damage occurs. If damage occurs, stop using the polisher immediately!

Starting The Machine - Figures 5 & 6
Before turning on your vacuum cleaner with the DISCO attached, 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.
Make sure that the ON/OFF Switch (19) of your SEBO FELIX (figure 5) or SEBO C3.1 or K3 (figure 6) is in the OFF position.
Switch Position
O = OFF
I = ON
Release the power cord from the cord hook or reel and plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt outlet located near the floor.
Press the power switch to the ON position.

Operating the Machine - Figures 7 & 8
NOTE: The SEBO DISCO has a soft-start system, so there may be a slight delay before it operates.
When the machine is switched on with the handle in the upright locked position, Figure 7 the DISCO pad will automatically raise from the floor and will stop spinning. To release the polisher from the upright locked position, press down on the foot pedal (7) and lower the handle into the normal operating position. The DISCO pad will automatically lower to the appropriate height and will start spinning.
When finished, switch the machine off and remain holding the vacuum cleaner firmly until the floor pad stops rotating. Then, return the handle to its upright, locked position.

LED Display - Figure 9
The green LED light (9) indicates that the floor polisher is powered on and operational.
If the air flow pathway becomes restricted due to a clog or a full bag, the red LED light (8) will illuminate and the machine will shut off. If this occurs, turn the power switch off, unplug the machine and immediately check for clogs in the DISCO head (see "Clog Removal"). If no clog is found, check for clogs in the vacuum cleaner or for a full dust bag. Refer to your vacuum cleaner owner's manual.

MAINTENANCE

Always unplug machine from the outlet before dismantling any part of the machine!

Changing the Floor Pad - Figures 10, 11 & 12

Check the floor pad regularly for sharp and abrasive materials such as grit, grains of sand, etc. If necessary, change the pad.
To change the floor pad, press the retainer tabs (15) inward using your thumb and forefinger. Rotate the pad (13) counter clockwise (figure 10). Lift the floor pad out.
To insert a new pad, fit the floor pad (13) to the pad retainer (14), using the notches as a guide for correct position. Press the pad down onto the pad retainer (14) until it locks in place. Next, press the retainer tabs (15) in using your thumb and forefinger and turn the pad clockwise until it locks into place again (figure 12).
Use only genuine SEBO replacement floor pads to ensure performance, longevity and safety.
The underside of the machine should be cleaned regularly.

CLOG REMOVAL

Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs!

Clogs in the Floor Pad - Figure 13
If a clog is indicated, check the pad area (20) first. Remove the pad (see instructions above). Check both sides for debris.

Clogs in the Suction Duct - Figure 14
To check the suction duct (21), push the release button (4) and remove the suction dust cover (2). Inspect the passage for debris.

Clogs in the Swivel Neck - Figure 14
To check for a clog in the swivel neck (5), remove the head by pressing the release button (6). Pull the vacuum out of the swivel neck. Clean out pathway.
NOTE: If your SEBO vacuum cleaner has a clog, please refer to the vacuum cleaner owner's manual.
