The S BO AIRB LT D4 is equipped with many extras that will make
your life easier! Its “suction-optimized” airflow pathway, together
with its one-of-a-kind tapered-hose technology, provides ultra-
quiet operation and amazing suction power. And the ergonomically
designed handle offers unmatched user comfort and smooth oper-
ating maneuverability. very detail expresses the highest quality,
modern design, reliability, and the standard features S BO cus-
tomers throughout the world have come to expect, such as:
• S BO’s patented AIRB LT Bumper Guard.
• An adjustable telescopic tube with internal power cord.
• Long-lasting motor life, which is further extended by its soft-
start switch.
• S-class, hospital-grade filtration, which is excellent for users
with allergies or asthma.
Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut Off –
The
“BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator (located on
top of the canister near the ON/OFF power con-
trol knob)
will turn orange 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, the
suction motor will heat up due to the lack of cooling provided by the
airflow. Once the motor reaches a certain temperature it will shut off
to protect itself from damage. 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 13).
After approximately 30 minutes, the motor will have cooled and the
vacuum can be restarted.
High-quality elescopic ube and Hose – The
power cord is built inside the telescopic tube
and suction hose. This eliminates unsightly
external wires and enables unobstructed
and convenient handle height adjustment.
Variable Power Control on Handle – The vac-
uum’s suction power can be adjusted from 0
to 1,250 watts by a rocker switch convenient-
ly located on the handle.
Comfortable Ergonomic Handle – The AIR-
B LT handles are ergonomically designed and positioned to
reduce wrist and arm fatigue. For extra comfort, an additional
swivel is built into the handle-to-hose connection.
Quick-release Connections – The AIRB LT D4 models allow for
quick and convenient connection of telescopic tubes, power
brush heads, accessory cleaning heads and on-board tools.
LED Suction-power Indicator – The indicator
tells the user with a glance how much suc-
tion power they are using. The light rotates
slower or faster depending on the suction
setting.
Powerful Vacuum Motors Provide Excellent Cleaning – The can-
ister suction motor is 1250 watts, and the T-1 power head
motor is 175 watts, for a total of 1,425 watts. The T-2 power
head is 200 watts for a total of 1450 watts.
Large Operating Range – A 40-foot cord with
a 50-foot cleaning radius saves time because
it minimizes the number of electrical outlets
needed during use.
hree Full-Size On-Board ools and Parquet
Brush – The vacuum comes standard with a
crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery
nozzle which are conveniently stored on the
vacuum. Also included is the Parquet Brush
for gently cleaning hard floors. It is light-
weight with soft bristles, so it glides gently
over floors. Many optional accessories are
also available.
320-Degree Rotating Hose – A brilliantly
designed hose-to-canister connection allows
320-degree rotation of the suction hose, pro-
viding easier user movement and machine
maneuverability.
Shock Absorber Provides Furniture and
Wall Protection – The patented “AIRB LT”
bumper that surrounds the D4 canister acts
as a protective barrier. The soft foam bumper
with its durable covering protects furniture,
walls and the vacuum itself from damage
during use.
Personalized Vacuums – AIRB LT canister vacuums can be
personalized with a replacement AIRB LT bumper cover avail-
able in eight patterns and colors.
Rubber Coated Wheels and High Quality
Castors – The quality of the wheels and cas-
tors on S BO canisters prevent damage to
floors and rotate 3600for easy maneuverability.
A Huge 1.5-Gallon Filter Bag – The large-
capacity filter bag is convenient and eco-
nomical because fewer bag changes are
needed.

5
In addition to the standard on-board tools, a variety of optional
attachments are available. The nine-foot extension hose
(extends suction hoses) and the 20-inch extension tube are very
popular because they create useful tools for cleaning stairs and
out-of-reach areas. Another popular attachment is the hand-
held turbo brush for removing pet hair from upholstery and
stairs. See page 10 for more information on the Premium
Parquet, Kombi and Turbo Nozzles.

E Power Heads - Designed for All
Floor Surfaces.
he E -1 power head is standard on the
Premium D4 Black and Premium D4 white. It is
optional for D4 Red.
he E -2 power head is optional for D4 Red.
Deep clean your carpet with a S BO T
power head. S BO power heads are virtually
maintenance free, and their electronic over-
load protection feature extends belt life by
automatically shutting off power if a brush
roller jams. These power heads deliver
cleaning flexibility because their brush action aggressively
cleans carpeting, and the brush may be switched off to clean
hard floors and delicate rugs. The steering ability of the swivel
necks help to easily clean around obstacles, and their L-shaped
heads provide maneuverability around furniture and under cab-
inets. They also have brush height and brush wear warning
lights.
Cleaning Dimensions – The T-1 power head is 12 inches wide,
with a cleaning with of 10 1⁄2-inches, and the T-2 is 143⁄4inches
wide, with a 13-inch cleaning width.
Both Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning – With a power brush to
clean carpets and a parquet nozzle to clean hard floors, the
AIRB LT D4 provides all the flexibility needed to care for a vari-
ety of floor surfaces.
Brushless Cleaning Capability – The T-1 or T-2 power heads
can provide gentle, brushless cleaning of delicate rugs or hard
floors because the brush roller may be switched off, but suction
will continue.
Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – If
an obstruction becomes jammed in the
brush roller, a warning light will quickly
flash, the brush roller will immediately stop
spinning and the vacuum will shut off.
The
user should turn the power switch off, unplug
the machine, and immediately remove the
obstruction. If the user restarts the machine without removing the
obstruction, the power head will again shut off and the amber light
will turn on.
This prevents the belt from breaking and protects
the motor from damage.
Incorrect Height Setting or Brush Deterioration Light – To
ensure optimum cleaning at all times, a warning light will illu-
minate to indicate when the brush height is set too high for
effective cleaning, or when the brush roller should be replaced
due to excessive wear.
Four-level Manual Brush Height Adjustment –
The brush height can be adjusted up or down
for optimum cleaning.

SEBO’s FILTRATION SYSTE :
Bags are Better! – On all models, top-
fill, three and four-layer bags are an
integral part of S BO’s filtration system
because they hold virtually all dirt cap-
tured by the vacuum, which improves the
effectiveness and useful life of the
microfilters. They also ensure continu-
ously strong suction because dirt enters
from the top, deposits at the bottom, accumulates upward,
and air exits through the sides, which allows unimpeded air-
flow as they fill to capacity. And they can be sealed 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 S BO filter bags.
Pre-motor Filters – Pre-motor filters
clean suction air after it passes through
the filter bag, but before it passes over
the vacuum motor. Cooling the motor
with clean air is important because this
increases useful life expectancy.
S-class Exhaust Microfilters – S-class
xhaust Microfilters (S =“Schwebstoff” =
airborne particles) are made from elec-
trostatically charged micro-fiber materi-
al, which attracts and captures dust par-
ticles from the airflow of the vacuum
after it passes over the motor to cool it.
This means that exhaust air is cleaned to
the highest level. 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 H PA filters.

Designed and anufactured in Germany – Legendary quality,
reliability and performance make S BO vacuums the choice of
cleaning professionals throughout the world.
Excellent for Users With Allergies or Asthma – The British
Allergy Foundation recommends S BO filters.
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 S BO vacuums have tight seals
throughout. Many vacuum companies with high-filtration
claims are actually quoting specifications made by the manu-
facturer of the filter material, as measured in the laboratory,
not the filtration effectiveness of the vacuum itself while oper-
ating. Whether or not dirty air can escape through leaks in the
body of the machine is not considered. The filtration effective-
ness of S BO vacuums is tested while they operate.
Save oney! SEBO Vacuums Last for Years and Extend Carpet
Life! – If properly maintained, S BO vacuums save ordinary
residential users hundreds of dollars by providing excellent
performance for ten to fifteen years or more, and their deep-
cleaning 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 vacu-
ums” must be purchased during the average life expectancy of
just one S BO machine.
Outstanding Warranty Coverage – S BO is confident about the
quality of all its vacuums. Therefore, all models include a five-
year warranty on the motor and all non-wear parts.
SEBO icrofilters Ensure Continuously Strong Suction
Performance – They are also long lasting, inexpensive and easy
to change in seconds.
Changing Bags is Easy and Clean – S BO fil-
ter bags can be changed in just a few sec-
onds, and a cap keeps dust sealed inside
during removal and disposal.
Effective Pet Hair Removal – All S BO
vacuums easily remove pet hair!

OPERATING INSTR CTIONS
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR NEW D4 - Figures 1, 2, 3 & 4
Your AIRBEL D4 canister is equipped with a soft start system and variable speed controls.
o help you better understand the various power control options on your SEBO canister, please follow
the instructions below.
1. Push the neck (14) of the hose (11) into the suction opening (19) of the canister (figure 1). When all
four notches are lined up correctly, the neck will snap firmly into place. To release the hose from
the suction opening, squeeze the release tabs (13) on both sides of the neck (14) and pull the neck
out. Before proceeding, connect the hose to the canister.
2. Grasp the plug and pull the power cord (21) out from the power cable recess (figure 2). The power
cord should be unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of its length or approx. twenty-five
feet. Do not over extend the cord. DO NOT PLUG INTO POW R SOURC UNTIL ST P 4 B LOW.
3. Grip the handle of the hose (1) with your thumb over the power control rocker (#2, figure 3).
4. Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt wall outlet located near the floor.
5. If the canister powers up as soon as you plug it in, note that the blue L D light (8) around the on/off
button (6) will pick up speed as the suction on the canister increases (figure 4). It will reach full
power in a few seconds.
6. If the canister does not power up as soon as you plug it in, gently press the on/off button on the
canister (6) with your hand or foot.
7. Press the (-) on the power control rocker (2) to decrease the suction or the (+) to increase the suc-
tion on the canister (figure 3). You can press the rocker several times or hold it down steadily until
you reach the suction desired.
8. If you continue to press the (-) you will eventually put the canister in stand-by mode. Stand-by
mode means that the canister is plugged in, but not running. Note that when the canister is in
stand-by mode, the blue light (8) around the on/off switch on the canister blinks back and forth.
9. When the canister is in stand-by mode, it can be restarted by pressing the (+) on the rocker switch.
When the canister is restarted this way, it powers up with minimum suction.
10. BEFORE PROCEEDING WI H FUR HER ASSEMBLY AND USE, turn off the vacuum with the on/off
button on the canister (6) AND unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
ALWAYS TURN THE POWER OFF ON THE CANISTER BEFORE UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE CANISTER AND UNPLUG BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING
THE HOSE (11), TELESCOPIC TUBE (5) OR POWER HEAD.
WARNING! The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary.
Therefore, 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 flooring 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!

Suction Control - Figure 5
The suction will automatically increase to maximum power after the machine is switched on at the
canister. You can control the suction by pressing the plus (+) or minus (-) on the power control but-
ton (2) conveniently located on the handle grip (1). Press the plus on the button for maximum suc-
tion or press the minus to reduce suction for vacuuming curtains or delicate fabrics. You may
adjust the suction control with the power control button (2) as you vacuum different surfaces or
when using the accessory tools. For optimal cleaning and brushing, operate the machine at the
maximum suction power setting and push the head slowly over the carpet.
Adjusting the Telescopic Tube - Figure 6
Adjust the telescopic tube (5) to the correct height by pushing the slide button (4) and gently
pulling the tube out to lengthen, or pushing it in to shorten. Release the slide button (4) to lock the
tube to the adjusted height.
Using the Telescopic Tube, Hose & Attachments - Figures 7, 8 & 9
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE CANISTER AND UNPLUG BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING
THE HOSE (11), TELESCOPIC TUBE (5) OR POWER HEAD.
The telescopic tube (5) is useful for vacuuming corners and hard-to-reach areas. Connect the tel-
escopic tube (5) to the handle grip (1). To disconnect, simply press the tube release button (3) and
pull the tube off the handle. Most S BO accessories can be attached directly to the handle grip (1)
with the telescopic tube removed.
S BO accessories with a button lock or release button will "SNAP" into place when attached cor-
rectly. The release button (9) is in the same position on all S BO nozzles, brushes and power
heads. Friction fit accessories like the on-board tools should be snug, but not overly tight. When
connecting or changing any S BO non-electrical accessories such as the parquet brush (28),
crevice nozzle (25), dusting brush (22) or upholstery nozzle (24), there is no need to unplug the
canister.
Connecting the Power Head - Figure 10
The telescopic tube has an electrical connection tab (A) - that plugs into the suction neck of your
S BO power head opposite the tool release button. The electrical connection tab can be pushed
closer to the tube or pulled further away from the tube to accommodate different S BO power
heads. For the T-1 and T-2 units that are most commonly used with the D4 Series, the tab
should be pulled away from the tube. During normal use of the machine without accessories
attached to the tube, this tab can be "bumped" out of place. If the telescopic tube does not easily
snap into place when trying to reconnect to a S BO power head, the electrical connection tab may
need to be repositioned as described above.
Please refer to your power head user’s manual for more detailed instructions for connecting
and using your power head
Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut-Off - Figure 11
When the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator, located on top of the canister (12), turns orange, air-
flow is reduced due to a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty filter. Turn
the power off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag (see page 11) or remove the
clog (see page 13).
If the user ignores the orange warning indicator, and the motor reaches a certain temperature, it
will shut off to protect itself from damage. The user should turn the power off, unplug the machine
and immediately insert a new bag or remove the clog. After approximately 30 minutes, the motor
will have cooled and the vacuum can be restarted. If the airflow is still restricted, the “BAG FULL
OR CLOG” indicator will turn orange again and the machine will shut off.
This feature prevents
damage to the motor due to overheating.
Vacuuming fine dust may require an earlier filter bag change even though the filter bag is not
full. Fluff may overfill the bag without the light coming on.
The bag full indicator works more efficiently at full power. Check the bag full status regular-
ly at full suction power.

Parquet Brush (standard) - Figure 16
The D4 comes with a parquet brush (29) that was designed specifically for vacuuming hard floors. It
is lightweight with soft bristles, so it glides gently over floors and provides easy maneuverability.
Fibers and hair can be pulled out of the bristles manually, or vacuum the bristles with the telescop-
ic tube.
Premium Parquet Nozzle (optional) - Figure 17
The Premium Parquet nozzle (35) is especially designed for use on hard surfaces. The brush should
be cleaned regularly. Remove the parquet nozzle from the telescopic tube to clean. Fibers and hair
can be pulled out of the bristles manually, or vacuum the bristles with the telescopic tube. The brush
strips are removable for cleaning and replacement.
Kombi Nozzle (optional) - Figure 18
The Kombi nozzle (10) is adjustable for carpet or hard floors. To set for carpet, slide the up arrow
button (36) to the right until it clicks into place. The hard floor dusting brush will raise up allowing
the head to move over the carpet. To set for hard floors, slide the down arrow button (37) to the left
until it clicks into place. The brush will lower to gently sweep your floors. he slider in Figure 20 is
set in the position for hard floors. Remove the Kombi nozzle from the telescopic tube to clean.
Fibers and hair can be pulled out of the bristles manually, or vacuum the bristles with the telescop-
ic tube. The brush strip is removable for cleaning and replacement.
Turbo Nozzle (optional) - Figure 19
The Turbo nozzle (38) has an air-driven rotating brush for gentle brushing of carpets. The Turbo noz-
zle can be adjusted for high and low pile carpet. To adjust the head for high pile carpet, push the slid-
er button (39) to the right. For low pile carpet, push the slider button (39) to the left. he slider in
Figure 21 is set in the low pile position. Remove the Turbo nozzle from the telescopic tube to clean.

VAC M MAINTENANCE
Changing the Filter Bag - Figures 20, 21, 22, 23 & 24
To change the filter bag (40), switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Lift the cover
release catch (#15, figure 20) and raise the filter bag cover (18). Seal the filter bag with
the sealing cap (41). Lift the filter bag out of the holder by tilting the green collar (42)
up and pulling it out of the holder as shown in figure 21.
Insert the green collar of a new filter bag down into the filter bag holder vertically as
shown in figure 23. Line up the tabs (#44, figure 22) with the slots on the green collar
(#43, figure 24) and gently push the collar down flat until the center U-shaped clip (#45,
figure 22) moves all the way forward. Close the cover, making sure it snaps shut com-
pletely. Do not re-use the filter bags.
The “bag full or clog” indicator works correctly only at full power. Check the status of the
filter bag regularly at full power.
Note: The nature of the contents of the filter bag will affect the point at which it needs
changing. Fine dust may require an earlier change even though the bag is not full. Fluff
or hair allows air to pass through easily, so the filter bag may over fill before the “bag
full” indicator turns orange.

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

Changing the AIRBELT - Figure 25
If damage occurs to the AIRB LT cover, it will need to be replaced. To remove
the AIRB LT (7), pry off the clip (23) by inserting the tip of a slot-head screw-
driver under the bottom side of the clip. Push outward carefully on the screw-
driver until the clip pops off. Grasp the end of the AIRB LT cover (7) and pull -
the AIRB LT cover will peel off. The foam bumper (46) remains on the vacuum.
To replace the AIRB LT, insert the side ribs of the AIRB LT into the grooves
(47). Start at the back, insert the rib of the AIRB LT cover into one groove (47),
and while holding it down, stretch the AIRB LT cover around the foam (46) into
the opposite groove (47). Continue around the vacuum. Secure the ends with
the clip (23).
S BO AIRB LT covers are available in a variety of colors and patterns. See
your S BO dealer for available selection.
Note: Never operate the vacuum with incorrectly attached filters or without filters, bag, AIRB LT or filter bag housing cover
(18). Do not re-use filter bags. Do not wash and re-use filters.

Changing the otor Filter - Figures 26 & 27
The motor filter (48) needs to be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or clogged.
To remove the motor filter, switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Lift the cover
release catch (#15, figure 26) and raise the filter bag cover (18). Pull the filter (48) out
by grasping the rubber rim (#50, figure 27) of the filter and pulling it out of the groove
(#49, inset, figure 29) that holds it. Fit the new filter into the groove and push the rub-
ber rim snugly into the groove all the way around the filter edge. Do not leave any loose
edges. Close the filter bag cover making sure that the cover release catch snaps back
into place.
Changing the Hospital-grade icro Filter - Figures 28, 29, 30 & 31
After 10 to 20 bags have been used, change the micro filter (52). To remove the micro-
filter, switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Press the release button (51) locat-
ed on the filter holder (27) as shown in figure 28. While holding the button in, rotate the
holder counter-clockwise and pull it out. Remove the filter (52) from the filter holder
(27) by pulling the rubber strip (#53, figure 29) away from the notches (54) that hold it
onto the base of the filter holder then pulling the filter off. Fit the new filter down over
the holder, lining up the notches (54) on the holder with the holes (55) in the red rubber
strip. The two tabs located on the indented portion of the red filter rim hook onto the
holder rim (see position #56, figure 30). Tuck the peak of the filter down as shown in fig-
ure 29. Insert the assembly back into the machine and turn the holder cover clockwise
(figure 31). It is not necessary to press the release button to close the filter holder.
D Filter Set - Motor Filter and Hospital-grade Micro Filter - Part #8191AM
Note: Never operate the vacuum with incorrectly attached filters or without filters, bag,
AIRB LT or filter bag housing cover (18). Do not re-use filter bags. Do not wash and re-
use filters.

CLOG REMOVAL
13
NOTE! D4 users with ET-1 or ET-2 power heads, please refer to your power head
user’s manual for more detailed instructions for removing clogs in your power head.
If the “bag full or clog” warning indicator (12) remains orange after the filter bag has
been changed and the filters are in good condition, there is likely a clog in the sys-
tem.
Clogs in the Head or Brush - Figure 32
Clogs in the swivel neck (57) of a head or brush can be cleared by first pressing the tool
release button (9) and removing the brush or head. Check inside the swivel neck chan-
nel (58), and clean out pathway.
Clogs in the Telescopic Tube - Figure 33
Remove head from telescopic tube (5) by pushing the tool release button (9) and pulling
the tube out. Remove the handle grip (1) from the top of the telescopic tube by pushing
the tube release button (3). A stiff wire or stick can be used to push the clog out of the
tube.
Clogs in the Hose - Figures 33, 34, 35 & 36
Check for suction at the end of the hose by removing the handle grip (1) from the tele-
scopic tube (5) and putting your hand over the handle grip suction opening (59). Turn
the power on and slide the suction up to full power. If you feel reduced suction, the
blockage is in the hose.
If the blockage is in the hose, there are two ways to clear it:
1. With the telescopic tube disconnected from the handle grip (1), hold the hose upright
with one hand blocking the handle grip suction opening (59) and switch on the machine
with full suction power. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the
hose. If that does not clear the clog, you may also clear clogs by reversing the hose -
see #2 below.
2. With the power off, remove the hose neck (#14, figure 34) from the suction opening
(19) by squeezing the two release buttons (13). Remove the handle grip (1) from the tel-
escopic tube (figure 35) and insert the handle end of the hose (1) into the suction open-
ing (figure 36). Note: the handle will not fit snugly into the suction opening. Then, hold
the hose upright with one hand blocking the hose neck end and switch on the machine
at full suction power. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the neck end of the
hose (figure 36). After the clog is removed, replace the hose in the correct position.
Note! Do not insert a wire or stick into the hose. Doing so may cause damage to the
hose.
Clogs in Entrance to Filter Bag - Figure 37
Remove hose neck (14) from vacuum cleaner (see figure 34), open
the filter bag cover (see page 11) and clean out entrance to bag (60).
