IM ORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ A INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
3
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than
the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Connect only to the outlet type specified on the serial number plate underneath the machine.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SEBO AUTOMATIC X RODUCT FEATURES
4
Designed for All Floor Surfaces.
Automatic Height Adjustment for All
Floors – Based upon the resistance of the
brush roller against the floor, the power
head automatically adjusts up or down to
the appropriate cleaning height, providing
optimal cleaning of all floor surfaces.
The
height adjustment chosen by the machine
ensures aggressive brush action, while pro-
viding optimal air flow. This prevents suffoca-
tion of air flow due to improper height selec-
tion.
Never again manually adjust the
brush height or use different vacuums for various floor sur-
faces; the S BO X cleans them all, automatically!
Brush Adjustment Indicator Lights – Two lights, one for “up”
and one for “down,” illuminate to indicate when the brush
roller is in the process of adjusting to the proper cleaning
height. Optimum cleaning occurs when both lights are off.
Bag Full or Clog Light & Auto Shut Off – A warning light will
illuminate and the machine will automatically shut off, when it
senses a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an exces-
sively dirty micro filter.
If the user ignores this warning for
approximately 30 seconds, the machine will shut off and the “BAG
FULL OR CLOG” light will flash. 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 sec-
tion on page 10). If the user restarts the machine without having
solved the problem, the “BAG FULL OR CLOG” light will again illu-
minate and the machine will shut off in 30 seconds.
This feature
prevents damage to the motor due to overheating.
Brush Deterioration Light – To ensure optimum cleaning at all
times, a warning light will illuminate to indicate when the brush
roller should be replaced due to excessive wear.
The red “CH CK
BRUSH” light will illuminate (after a 10 second delay) to notify the
user that the brush roller is too worn and, therefore, should be
replaced. The light will remain illuminated until the worn brush
roller is replaced, but the machine will continue to operate.
Brush Obstruction Light & Auto Shut Off – A warning light will
quickly flash, the brush roller will immediately stop spinning
and the vacuum will shut off, if an obstruction becomes
jammed in the brush roller. This prevents the belt from break-
ing and protects the motor from damage.
The user should turn
the switch off, unplug the machine and immediately remove the
obstruction. If the user restarts the machine without removing the
obstruction, the machine will again shut off in 3 seconds and the
“CH CK BRUSH” light will flash.
Stationary Use Light – A warning light will slowly flash when
the machine is standing in its upright locked position (which
causes the power head to rise to its highest point from the
floor) yet the brush remains in contact with the carpet fibers.
This feature warns of potential carpet damage caused by
excessive time in a stationary position, during which carpet
fibers remain engaged with the brush, usually on medium to
high pile carpet.
LED Head Lamp* - This feature provides illumination for the
dark areas of a room.
* depending on model
Easy Brush Roller Removal – Quick brush cleaning or
replacement is easy, and no tools are required!
Vacuum Motor – The AUTOMATIC X has a 1300 watt motor.
Instant-use Wand and Suction Hose – The integrated instant-
use cleaning wand or suction hose is always ready. Just pull
out either tool, or both together, to clean hard-to-reach cor-
ners, edges and crevices. The suction hose is ideal for clean-
ing furniture. And an optional nine-foot extension hose is
available, which creates a total hose length of 15 feet, perfect
for cleaning stairs. Choose from a range of optional attach-
ments that can be fitted to the cleaning wand or hose. The
wand and hose together have an eight-foot reach for instant
cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.
A Flat-to-the-floor, 6-inch Profile – Such a low profile makes
cleaning under furniture and beds easy!
Forty-foot Cord – A 40-foot cord saves time because it mini-
mizes the number of electrical outlets needed during use.
Lifetime Belt Warranty - No more changing belts...they
should last the life of the machine!
Two Power Head Widths – The AUTOMATIC X7 power head is
12 inches wide, with a cleaning width of 10½ inches. The
AUTOMATIC X8 power head is 15-inches wide, with a cleaning
width of 14½ inches.
Three On-board, Full-size Tools and Large Filter Bag – The
vacuum comes standard with a crevice nozzle, dusting brush
and upholstery nozzle. Many optional accessories are also
available. The filter bag is also S BO’s largest, with a dirt
capacity of 1.4 gallons.

STANDARD FEATURES OF ALL SEBO VACUUMS
5
Designed and Manufactured in Germany – Legendary quality,
reliability and performance make S BO vacuums the first
choice of cleaning professionals throughout the world.
World’s Best Pet Vacuums – Because of superior power-head
and brush-roller technology, S BO vacuums are the world’s
best for pet hair removal!
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 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 S BO vacuums is
tested while they operate.
Reliable, Commercial-grade Components – All S BO vacuums
are constructed with thick, reinforced, ABS plastic, aluminum
and metal parts, steel axles and bearings, and high-end, qual-
ity motors. Therefore, S BO 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 AIRB LT bumpers that surround
S BO’s canisters protect furniture, walls, and vacuum hous-
ings from incurring scuffs and scratches during use.
Advanced, Brush-Roller Technology – S BO’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 – S BO 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 ast for Years and Extend Carpet
ife! – 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.
Incredible Warranty Coverage – All S BO models include a
FR seven-year warranty on the motor and five-years on non-
wear parts and labor charges.
SEBO’s FI TRATION SYSTEM:
Bagged vs. Bagless . . . Bags are Better! – Top-fill, three-layer
Ultra Bags are an integral part of S BO’s filtration system
because they hold virtually all the dirt captured by the vacuum,
which improves the effectiveness and useful life of the microfil-
ters. 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 aller-
gens become airborne when emptying bag-
less dirt containers. Lastly, bagless vacuum
microfilters are expensive, usually costing
more than a multi-year supply of S BO filter
bags.
S-class, Pre-motor and/or Exhaust
Microfilters – S-class, Pre-motor and
xhaust Microfilters (S =“Schwebstoff” = air-
borne particles) are made from electrostati-
cally charged, micro-fiber material, 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 mainte-
nance, 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 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.

6
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 22-inch extension wand (extends
instant-use wands) are very popular because they create useful
tools for cleaning stairs and out-of-reach areas. These two items
are sold separately or as part of multiple item attachment kits.
Another popular attachment is the hand-held turbo brush for
removing pet hair from upholstery. S BO Ultra filter bags can be
purchased in boxes of eight and filters are sold separately. S BO
bags, filters and accessories are reasonably priced and widely
available. To create a fresh scent while vacuuming, S BO FR SH
is available. To use, deposit a scented stick in the filter bag.

O ERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting The Machine - Figures 1 & 2
Before turning on your vacuum cleaner, 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.
1. Turn the quick release cable hook (#19, figure 1) to the up positionby moving it to the
left or right.
2. Release the power cord plug from the power cord and lift the cord off of the upper cord
hook (#17, figure 2).
3. With the switch (#2, figure 2) in the “O” (OFF) position, plug the
polarized power cord into a 120 volt outlet located near the floor.
Switch Position
O = OFF
I = ON
NOT : The AUTOMATIC X is equipped with a soft start system.
The gradual power-up extends vacuum life.
19
Operating the Machine - Figure 3
When the machine is switched on with the handle in the upright locked
position, the power head and brush automatically rise from the carpet.
To release the machine from the upright locked position, press down on
the foot pedal (24) and lower the handle into the normal operating posi-
tion. The power head and brush will automatically lower to the appro-
priate height.
WARNING! The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary.
Therefore, upright 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 particu-
larly vulnerable to damage by rotating brushes. When possible, consult the materials supplied by your floor’s 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! The standard brush roller on your SEBO vacuum is
appropriate for most types of floor surfaces. However, a soft-bristle brush roller (X7 part # 5010GE or X5 part # 5290GE) that
is designed for use on sensitive looped-pile carpets and/or hard floors is available for an additional charge. As with the stan-
dard brush roller, you should test the machine using the soft-bristle brush roller in an inconspicuous area prior to widespread
use. The soft-bristle roller will wear more quickly than the standard brush roller, so it will need to be replaced more often.
Also, because the bristles are softer, the height adjustment on the machine will be slightly lower than normal. Care must be
taken to ensure that the bottom of the machine does not contact the floor. If this happens, damage to the floor could occur.
If damage occurs, stop using the vacuum cleaner immediately!
!
Figure 1
Figure 2
Using the Cleaning Wand, Hose & Attachments -
Figures 4, 5, 6 & 7
The cleaning wand (21) 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
cleaning wand handle (4), pull it up and away from the
machine and stretch out the hose (18) until it locks to the back
of the tube (this locking action will prevent the hose from
retracting back into the cleaning wand while it is in use).
Various attachments may be inserted onto the end of the tube.
After use, remove attachment and re-insert the cleaning wand
into the back of the machine. Be sure that the cleaning wand
handle (4) is inserted over the protruding tab (31) as shown
in figure 6. If the cleaning wand 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 vacu-
um while switching from upright vacuuming to using the
cleaning wand or hose.

To use the hose without the cleaning wand (as shown in figure 5), pull the hose out of
the cleaning wand while the tube is still attached to the machine and securely seated
over the protruding tab (31). Insert an attachment tool, if desired, onto the end of the
flexible hose. You may also release the hose while the cleaning wand is disengaged
from the machine by pressing the hose release button (32) at the base of the cleaning
wand handle (4).
While using attachment tools, if 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 furni-
ture or the floor on the back side of the bag housing (15), and the power head is
locked in a perpendicular position to the floor. nsure that no children or pets can
come into contact with the spinning brush roller.
To vacuum walls, under beds, or higher-reach areas, etc., the S BO AUTOMATIC X
can be fitted with an optional straight tube (33) and the optional wall and floor brush
(34). The machine will then perform as a canister vacuum (as shown in figure 7).

The Adjustment Wheel - Figures 10 & 11
On hard floors (figure 10), the adjustment wheel (36), moves upward into the machine
so that the brush lowers and becomes flush with the floor.
On carpeted floors (figure 11), the adjustment wheel (36) moves downward out of the
machine so that the brush rises. The adjustment wheel moves up and down automat-
ically to adjust the brush to the correct setting. This provides aggressive brush action,
while maintaining optimal air flow.

Changing the Sealing Strip - Figure 18
The sealing strip (46) is located just behind the brush roller
opening. The sealing strip seals the power head to hard floors
to prevent kick-back of debris while vacuuming. To replace a
worn sealing strip, push the brush roller release button(s) (11,
11a), remove the side plate(s) (44, 44a) and slide the old strip
out. Insert the new strip into the slot and slide into place.
Changing the Exhaust Filter - Figures 15 & 16
After 20 bags have been used, change the exhaust filter (42).
To remove the exhaust filter, squeeze the filter door release
buttons (43) toward the middle and remove the filter cover
(25). Unhook the filter tab (A) from the catch (B) and pull the
filter out. Slide the closed end of the new filter into the
machine. Fit filter opening (C) to the air channel (D) and lock
the filter tab (A) onto the catch (B), making sure it is smooth
and flat. The correct positioning of the filter can be checked by
looking through the slots ( ) on the front of the powerhead.
Slide the filter cover (25) into the top of the opening and move
it downward until it clicks into place.

Clogs in the Attachment Hose - Figure 20
Blockages in the hose can be cleared by removing the attachment hose (18)
from the machine by squeezing the retaining ring (6) and inserting the oppo-
site end of the hose in the connecting tube (30). Hold the hose upright with
one hand blocking the top end and switch on the machine. If necessary,
quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose. If this procedure does not
clear the clog, a straight wire can be inserted into the hose to push out the
clog. Take care not to puncture the hose with the wire.
Clogs in the Airflow Pathway - Figure 19
Most clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange
colored access door (48) located on the underside of the power head.
However, other clogs may only be removed by accessing the airflow pathway
by disassembling the machine in the opposite sequence of the machine’s
original assembly (see assembly, page 6).

ing wand handle (4) and remove tube from the machine. A straight wire can
be inserted into the tube to push out the clog.
Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing
any clogs!

Clogs in the Swivel Neck - Figure 23
Clogs in the swivel neck (28) can be removed by first pressing the housing
release button (10) and lifting off the bag housing (15). Lift upward firmly and
evenly to properly remove the bag housing. Then, release the foot pedal (24),
lower the swivel neck, check inside the swivel neck channel closest to the
foot pedal (see arrow), and clean out pathway.
Clogs in Entrance to Filter Bag - Figure 22
Remove attachment hose (18) from vacuum cleaner (see figure 20) and remove
