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). 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 protruding tab (see #22, page 6). If the attachment tube 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 attachment tube or hose.
To use the hose without the attachment tube (as shown in figure 5), pull the hose
out of the attachment tube while the tube is still attached to the machine and
securely seated over the protruding tab (22). Insert an attachment tool, if desired,
onto the end of the flexible hose. You may also release the hose while the attach-
ment tube is disengaged from the machine by pressing the release button at the
base of the handle (11).
While using attachment tools, if the 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 (6), 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 spin-
ning brush roller.
To vacuum walls, under beds, or higher-reach areas, etc., the SEBO AUTOMATIC
X can be fitted with an additional straight tube (45) and the wall and floor brush
(41). The machine will then perform as a canister vacuum (as shown in figure
6).

For more information on the display panel, see pages 4 and 5.
The Adjustment Wheel -
On hard floors (figure 8), the adjustment wheel (40), moves upward into the
machine so that the brush lowers and becomes flush with the floor.
On carpeted floors (figure 9), the adjustment wheel (40) moves downward out of the
machine so that the brush rises. The adjustment wheel moves up and down auto-
matically to adjust the brush to the correct setting. This provides aggressive brush
action, while maintaining optimal air flow.
