SEBO AIRBELT D PRODUCT FEATURES
4
The SEBO AIRBELT D 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. Every detail expresses the highest quality,
modern design, reliability, and the standard features SEBO cus-
tomers throughout the world have come to expect, such as:
•SEBO’s patented AIRBELT Bumper Guard.
•An adjustable telescopic tube.
•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 by
a window in the top lid) will turn orange when it
senses a full bag, a clog in the airflow path-
way, or an excessively dirty microfilter. If the
user ignores this warning, the suction motor will
shut off to protect itself from damage. If a clog is detected, an over-
flow valve will open to allow more air into the motor compart-
ment. After running for approximately 8 minutes, the motor 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 14). If the airflow is still
restricted, the indicator will again show orange and the above
sequence will be repeated.
Quick-release Connections – The AIRBELT D allows for quick
and convenient connection of telescopic tubes, power brush
heads, accessory cleaning heads and on-board tools.
Three Full-Size On-board Tools and Parquet
Brush – The vacuum comes standard with a
crevice nozzle, dusting brush and upholstery
nozzle which are conveniently stored on the
vacuum.
Comfortable Ergonomic Handle – The AIRBELT 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.
Large Operating Range – A 40-foot cord with
a 52-foot cleaning radius saves time because
it minimizes the number of electrical outlets
needed during use.
Push-button Cord Rewinder – The super-
long power cord rewinds by simply pressing
a button.
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 “AIRBELT”
bumper that surrounds the D4 canister acts
as a protective barrier. The soft foam bumper
with its durable textile covering protects fur-
niture, walls and the vacuum itself from
damage during use.
Personalized Vacuums – AIRBELT canister
vacuums can be personalized with a replace-
ment AIRBELT textile available in several
patterns and colors.
Rubber-coated Wheels and High Quality
Castors – The quality of the wheels and cas-
tors on SEBO canisters prevent damage to
floors and rotate 3600 for 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.
AIRBELT D1 TURBO
AIRBELT D1 Turbo: The AIRBELT D1 Turbo is a straight-suction vacuum. Thus, it differs from
the AIRBELT D4 Premium as follows:
Turbo Head and Parquet Brush, but No Power Head – The AIRBELT D1 has a telescopic tube and
suction hose without an integrated power cord, so it does not accommodate an electric power
head. Instead, it comes with an air-driven turbo head for rugs and a parquet brush for hard
floors.
Suction-control Knob on Canister Body – Because the AIRBELT D1 has a hose and telescopic
tube without a power cord, its suction-control knob is located on the canister body, not the han-
dle, and an LED light illuminates when it is powered on, but it does not include the optical suc-
tion-power indicator available on the AIRBELT D4.
The AIRBELT D1 Turbo AM model comes standard with a
TT-C Turbo Head and a Parquet Brush. The AIRBELT D1
Turbo FC model comes standard with a TT-C Turbo Head
and a Premium Parquet Brush.
Powerful Vacuum Motors Provide Excellent Cleaning –
The AIRBELT D1 canister suction motor is 1250 watts.

ET-1 Power Head for the AIRBELT D4 Premium
Deep clean your carpet with a SEBO ET-1
power head. THE SEBO ET-1 power head is
virtually maintenance free, and the electron-
ic overload protection feature extends belt
life by automatically shutting off power if a
brush roller jams. This power head delivers
cleaning flexibility because the brush action
aggressively cleans carpeting, and the brush may be switched
off on the handle to clean hard floors and delicate rugs. The
steering ability of the swivel neck helps to easily clean around
obstacles, and the L-shaped head provides maneuverability
around furniture and under cabinets. The ET-1 also has brush
height and brush wear warning lights.
Cleaning Dimensions – The ET-1 power head is 12 inches wide,
with a cleaning with of 101⁄2inches.
Both Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning – With a power brush to
clean carpets and a parquet brush to clean hard floors, the AIR-
BELT D4 provides all the flexibility needed to care for a variety
of floor surfaces.
Brushless Cleaning Capability – The ET-1 power head can pro-
vide 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.
AIRBELT D4 PREMIUM
Designed for All Floor Surfaces.
The AIRBELT D4 Premium has an electrified hose and tele-
scopic tube designed to accommodate the ET-1 power head.
The ET-1 power head is designed to provide thorough brushing
for optimal cleaning of carpets. With a power brush to clean
carpets and a parquet brush to clean hard floors, the AIRBELT
D4 Premium provides all the flexibility needed to care for a vari-
ety of floor surfaces.
The AIRBELT D4 Premium includes the
Parquet Brush (AM models) or the Premium
Parquet Brush (FC models) for gently clean-
ing hard floors. Both are lightweight with
soft bristles, so they glide gently over floors.
High-quality Telescopic Tube and Hose –
The power cord is built inside the telescopic
tube and suction hose. This eliminates
unsightly external wires and enables unob-
structed and convenient handle height
adjustment.
Suction-adjustment Control on Handle –
The AIRBELT D4’s suction power can be
adjusted using its soft-touch buttons on the
hose handle, so upholstery can be cleaned
with stronger suction, yet curtains can be
gently vacuumed as well.
Brush Roller Switch on Handle - To switch
from brushing action to straight suction for
delicate floors, press the brush roller power
switch on the handle. This will power off the
brush roller on the power head. All indicator
lights on the power head will turn off until the
brush roller button is switched on again.
LED Suction-power Indicator – This technol-
ogy is only on the D4 model, and it allows the
user to optically monitor the vacuum’s suc-
tion power. When using lower power settings, the LED light
rotates slowly. When using higher power settings, the light
rotates more quickly. When the power is set to standby mode,
the light slowly blinks back and forth, left to right.
Powerful Vacuum Motors Provide Excellent Cleaning – The
canister suction motor is 1250 watts, and the D4 ET-1 power
head motor is 175 watts, for a total of 1,425 watts.

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 suc-
tion hoses) and the 22” extension wand 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 11 for more information on the Parquet Brush,
Premium Parquet Brush, Kombi Nozzle and TT-C Turbo Head.
SEBO AeraPure™ filter bags can be purchased in boxes of eight
and filters are sold as a set. SEBO bags, filters and accessories
are reasonably priced and widely available.
To create a fresh scent while vacuuming, SEBO FRESH is avail-
able. To use, deposit a scented stick in the filter bag.
NOTE: The Premium Parquet Nozzle has a removable brush strip for cleaning and replacement.
To change the brush strip, remove the yellow cap with a screw driver and pull out the brush strip. After inserting the new brush strip, the cap has to click into place again.

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 elec-
trostatically charged, micro-fiber mate-
rial, 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 advan-
tages are a relatively open texture that allows smoother air-
flow for better suction performance, a longer life expectan-
cy, 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, grid-like 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 air-
flow 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 actual-
ly quoting specifications made by the manufacturer of the filter
material, as measured in the laboratory, not the filtration effec-
tiveness 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, quali-
ty motors. Therefore, SEBO users own reliable, long-lasting
vacuum cleaners. Competing vacuums are made with thin,
flimsy, inexpensive, plastic materials, none of which are rein-
forced, and typically have useful lifespans of one or two years.
Rubber Wheels and Soft Bumpers Protect Homes – Smooth-
gliding, rubber wheels protect hard floors and provide excep-
tional 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 per-
formance on all flooring surfaces.
Changing Bags is Easy and Clean – SEBO AeraPure™ 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 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 SEBO machine.
Incredible Warranty Coverage – All SEBO models include a
FREE seven-year warranty on the motor and five-years on non-
wear parts and labor charges.

Using the Telescopic Tube, Hose & Attachments - Figures 8, 9 &10
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 (figure 8). Most SEBO accessories can be attached directly to the han-
dle grip (1) with the telescopic tube removed (figure 9).
SEBO 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 SEBO nozzles, brushes and power heads
(figure 10). Friction fit accessories like the on-board tools should be snug, but not overly tight.
When connecting or changing any SEBO 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 can-
ister.
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 12) or remove the
clog (see page 14).
If the user ignores the orange warning indicator, the motor will shut off to protect itself from dam-
age. The user should turn the power off, unplug the machine and immediately insert a new bag or
remove the clog. If the airflow is still restricted, the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator will turn
orange again and the machine will shut off.
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 - Figure 16
The Parquet Brush (29) 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 telescopic tube.
Premium Parquet Brush - Figure 17
The Premium Parquet Brush (31) is especially designed for use on hard surfaces. The brush should
be cleaned regularly. Remove the parquet brush 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. To change the brush strip, remove the yel-
low cap with a screw driver and pull out the brush strip. After inserting the new brush strip, the cap
has to click into place again.
TT-C Turbo Head - Figure 18
The TT-C Turbo Head (30) has an air-driven rotating brush for gentle brushing of carpets. The TT-C
Turbo head can be adjusted for high and low pile carpet. To adjust the head for high pile carpet, push
the slider button (39) upward. For low pile carpet, push the slider button (39) downward. Remove
the Turbo head from the telescopic tube to clean. Remove fibers and hair from the brush manually.
Kombi Nozzle and The Premium Kombi Nozzle - Figure 19
The Kombi Nozzle (10) and the Premium Kombi Nozzle (10b) are adjustable for carpet or hard floors.
Use the toggle button (36) on either nozzle to raise the brush for carpet or lower the brush for hard
floors. The brush should be cleaned regularly. Remove the 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.
Retracting the Cord - Figure 12
To retract the cord, switch the vacuum off, unplug it from the outlet, then press the push-button
cord rewinder (7) and the mechanism will automatically rewind the cord. You must hold the but-
ton down until the cord is fully rewound. Hold plug while rewinding into the cord wheel. Do not
allow the plug to whip while rewinding. The rewind mechanism will stop automatically when you
release the button. Before rewinding the cable, always switch off and unplug the vacuum.
Storing the Vacuum - Figures 13, 14 & 15
The vacuum can be stored with the canister in a horizontal or
vertical position. The Parquet Brushes, Kombi Nozzles and the
TT-C Turbo Head have a parking tab located on the neck (34).
Insert the parking tab into the upper side of the parking groove
and slide down firmly. For vertical storage, use the parking slot
on the underside (26). For horizontal storage, use the parking
slot on the end of the canister (20).
Always unplug vacuum from outlet before dismantling any part of machine!
To remove a brush or power head, switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Then, press the tool release
button (9) and pull the tube out.
NOTE! D4 Premium users with the ET-1 power head, please refer to your power head user’s manual for more detailed
instructions for operating and maintaining your power head.

NOTE: The Premium Parquet Brush and the Premium Kombi Nozzle have brush
strips that are removable for cleaning and replacement. To change the brush strip,
remove the yellow cap with a screwdriver and pull out the brush strip. After inserting the
new brush strip, the cap has to click into place again.

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.

Changing the AIRBELT Textile - Figure 25
If damage occurs to the AIRBELT textile, it will need to be replaced. To remove
the AIRBELT textile (7), pry off the clip (23) by inserting the tip of a slot-head
screwdriver under the bottom side of the clip. Push outward carefully on the
screwdriver until the clip pops off. Grasp the end of the textile (7) and pull - the
textile will peel off. The foam bumper (46) remains on the vacuum. To replace
the AIRBELT textile, insert the side ribs of the textile into the grooves (47). Start
at the back, insert the rib of the textile into one groove (47), and while holding
it down, stretch the textile around the foam (46) into the opposite groove (47).
Continue around the vacuum. Secure the ends with the clip (23).
Note: Never operate the vacuum with incorrectly attached filters or without filters, bag, AIRBELT textile or filter bag hous-
ing cover (18). Do not re-use filter bags. Do not wash and re-use filters.

Changing the Pre-motor Filter - Figures 26 & 27
The pre-motor filter (48) needs to be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or
clogged. To remove the pre-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 rubber 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 Exhaust Microfilter - Figures 28, 29, 30 & 31
After 10 to 20 bags have been used, change the exhaust microfilter (52). To remove the
microfilter, switch off the power and unplug the vacuum. Press the release button (51)
located 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 hold-
er (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.

CLOG REMOVAL
14
NOTE! D4 Premium users with the ET-1 power head, 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).
