When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.
T
o 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SEBO MECHANICAL PRODUCT FEATURES
4
Designed for Carpets – The heavy-duty SEBO MECHANICAL
300 and 350, are designed to provide many years of troublefree operation and feature an aggressive power head with
m
anual brush height adjustment and a convenient instant-use
cleaning wand and suction hose. In addition, the vacuums feature a mechanical controller that not only alerts the user to
problems such as clogs, a full bag and brush obstructions, but
it also automatically shuts off the brush roller when it is
jammed to protect the motor and belt from damage. These are
perfect vacuums for large carpeted areas.
Brush Obstruction Indicator & Auto ShutOff – If an obstruction becomes jammed in
the brush, a warning indicator will quickly
show, the brush will immediately stop
spinning and the power head will shut off.
This prevents the belt from breaking and
protects the motor from damage. The user should switch the
vacuum 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 immediately
and the orange “CHECK BRUSH” indicator will show.
Bag Full or Clog Indicator – SEBO MECHANICAL vacuums have a bag full or clog indicator located on top of the dust bag housing. It
changes from white to orange indicating
reduced air flow if the filter bag is full or a
clog occurs in the air flow pathway of the
machine. The machine will continue working
but not as powerfully. If the orange indicator
reaches the right-hand side of the indicator
window, the machine should be switched off and checked for a
full bag or clog. If the orange indicator still shows up after
inserting a new bag, check for a clog and remove it. See page
10 for details about maintenance or page 11 for clog removal.
NOTE: Vacuuming fine dust may require an earlier filter bag
change even though the filter bag is not full; however, loose,
fluffy material may over fill the bag.
Four-level Manual Brush Height Adjustment – The brush
height can be manually adjusted up or down for optimal cleaning effectiveness.
E
asy Brush Strip Removal and Cleaning –
Cleaning hair or debris from the brush strip or
replacing it when the bristles are worn is quick
and easy. This feature ensures consistently
effective brush agitation of the carpet pile. The
SEBO 300 and 350 have a brush roller with a
replaceable brush strip. This is part of the
heavy-duty sealed brushing mechanism, which
provides extra rugged durability.
Thirty-nine-foot Cord – A 39-foot cord saves time because it
minimizes the number of electrical outlets needed during use.
Durable Heavy-duty Belts - The reinforced toothed belts do not
slip or stretch, resulting in a more efficient use of power, and
they should last the life of the machine.
Instant-use Wand and Suction Hose – The integrated instantuse wand or suction hose is always ready. Just pull out either
tool, or both together, to clean hard-to-reach corners, edges
and crevices. The wand and hose together have an eight-foot
reach. The suction hose is ideal for cleaning 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 attachments that can be fitted to the
wand or hose.
A Flat-to-the-floor, 5.5-inch Profile – Such a low profile makes
cleaning under furniture and beds easy!
Wide Power Head with One-sided Edge Cleaning – Side-edge
cleaning and two widths to choose from makes these vacuums
perfect for smaller to larger homes. The L-shape on the SEBO
350 provides excellent maneuverability around furniture and
under cabinets.

STANDARD FEATURES OF ALL SEBO VACUUMS
55
Designed and Manufactured in Germany – Legendary quality,
r
eliability and performance make SEBO vacuums the choice of
cleaning professionals throughout the world.
Excellent for Users With Allergies or Asthma – The British
Allergy Foundation recommends SEBO 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 SEBO vacuums have tight seals
throughout. Many vacuum companies with high-filtration
claims are actually quoting specifications made by the manufacturer of the filter material, as measured in the laboratory,
not the filtration effectiveness of the vacuum itself while opera
ting. 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.
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 deepcleaning 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 vacuums” must be purchased during the average life expectancy
of just one SEBO machine.
Outstanding Warranty Coverage – SEBO is confident about the
quality of all its vacuums. Please refer to the Warranty Card
included with your SEBO vacuum cleaner for complete warranty coverage information.
SEBO Microfilters Ensure Continuously Strong Suction
Performance – They are also long lasting, inexpensive and easy
to change in seconds.
Changing Bags is Easy and Clean – SEBO
filter bags can be changed in just a few
seconds, and a cap keeps dust sealed inside
during removal and disposal.
Effective Pet Hair Removal – All SEBO
vacuums easily remove pet hair!
SEBO’s FILTRATION SYSTEM:
Bags are Better! – On all models, top-fill,
three and four-layer bags are an integral
part of SEBO’s filtration system because
they hold virtually all dirt captured by the
v
acuum, 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.
Dust bag caps are included with bags to seal the full bag so no
dust can escape into the air during bag removal and disposal.
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.
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 its useful life expectancy.
S-class Exhaust Microfilters – S-class
Exhaust Microfilters (S =“Schwebstoff” = airborne particles) are made from electrostatically charged micro-fiber material, which
attracts and captures dust particles 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 HEPA filters.
