IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTR CTIONS
READ A INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
3
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed. The use of the machine is
at your own risk. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any injury or damage caused by incorrect usage of
the machine. Always check the cleaning and maintenance instr ctions of yo r floor man fact rer.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! The q ality, condition, coating, text re, age and man fact ring techniq e of all floor s rfaces vary. Therefore,
machines with rotating pads, incl ding yo r SEBO DISCO, may damage some floor s rfaces. Some types of hardwood floors, c shion
vinyl, cork and poro s stone or tile are partic larly v lnerable to damage by rotating br shes or pads. When possible, cons lt the mate-
rials s pplied by yo r floor’s man fact rer for information on proper pkeep 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!
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury or damage:

SPECIAL SEBO PROD CT FEAT RES
4
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 sys-
tems 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 on page 8). If the user restarts the machine without hav-
ing solved the problem, the red LED light will again illuminate and the machine will shut off in 30 seconds.
The floor pad automatically adjusts
up or down for different hard floor
heights.
The swivel neck rotates
90º vertically and 180º
horizontally.
The upper and lower rubber
bumpers protect furniture and
walls, and the rotating rubber
castors move smoothly across
the floor.
LED warning light
display alerts user to a
full bag or clog.

OPERATING INSTR CTIONS
Preparing The Floor
Remove as much furniture as possible,
and cover any left in place.
First Cleaning:
1. Vacuum the floor thoroughly before
using the SEBO DISCO for the first
time, ensuring it is completely free of
debris, such as grit.
2. Add some floor maintainer to the
water, as per the instructions, if
required, and clean the floor with a
mop. Wait for the floor to dry complete-
ly before proceeding to step 3.
3. Apply an appropriate floor mainte-
nance product* in accordance with the
instructions. Before polishing the floor,
ensure that the floor is completely dry
then proceed to step 4.
4. Move the SEBO DISCO slowly over
the floor similar to how you would use
your vacuum cleaner.
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 THOROUGH Y before using the polisher. Grit and debris left on the floor can cause dam-
age. Always inspect the pad before use - any grit that becomes embedded in the pad can damage your floor.
WARNING! 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 hard-
wood 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 3 (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,
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.

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” on page 8). 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.

Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing
any clogs!

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.
