IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
!
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. Do not leave vacuum while plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not use near small children or pets. Do not allow to be
used as a toy. Use of this product by children should
always be supervised by an adult.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer-recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a SEBO service
center.
6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug – not the cord.
20. Machines can cause a fire when operated near flammable
vapors or materials. Do not operate this vacuum near
flammable fluids, dust or vapors.
21. Maintenance and repairs must be done by qualified
personnel.
22. Use only original SEBO replacement parts.
23. Do not use vacuum as a step.
24. If vacuum is used on plush carpet or carpet with thick
padding, do not leave machine standing in one place with
machine turned on.
25. While the vacuum is in use, the power cord should be
unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of its length.
Hold plug when rewinding onto the cord reel. Do not allow
plug to whip while rewinding.
26. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away
from vacuum openings and moving parts. Do not place
fingers or other body parts under vacuum unless it is
unplugged.
8. Do not plug in if switch is in the “+” (ON) position.
9. Do not use outlets above counters to plug in vacuum –
damage to items in the surrounding area could occur.
10. Always carry the vacuum over steps and sills.
11. Do not handle plug or vacuum handle with wet hands.
12. Do not put any object into vacuum openings. Do not use
machine with any openings blocked. Keep openings free
of lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
13. Do not re-use filter bags or wash the filters.
14. Do not remove any screws from vacuum.
15. Do not vacuum up anything that is burning or smoking,
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
16. Do not use vacuum without filter bag and/or filters in place.
17. Turn off all machine controls before unplugging.
18. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
19. Do not use machine to vacuum up flammable or
combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas
where they may be present.
27. Do not place the power head over rug or carpet edges.
28. The vacuum has a manual reset thermal protector. The
protector is reset by switching off the vacuum. The thermal
protector needs some time to cool down after switching off!
Check the vacuum for air blockages or mechanical failures
before switching on.
29. Store the vacuum in a dry place at room temperature. When
the vacuum is not in use, you should rewind the cord onto
the cord reel.
30. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
31. The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use if damaged,
cut, or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.
32. Always unplug vacuum before connecting or disconnecting
either hose or power head.
33. Use a SEBO power head only in combination with a SEBO
vacuum cleaner.
34. Do not connect power head to a malfunctioning or damaged
vacuum.

SEBO AIRBELT D4 PRODUCT FEATURES
The SEBO AIRBELT 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-
uiet operation and amazing suction power. And the ergonomically
q
designed handle offers unmatched user comfort and smooth operating maneuverability. Every detail expresses the highest quality,
modern design, reliability, and the standard features SEBO customers throughout the world have come to expect, such as:
• SEBO’s patented AIRBELT Bumper Guard.
• A power head with amazing steering ability and easy brush roller
removal.
• An adjustable telescopic tube with internal power cord.
• Long-lasting motor life, which is further extended by its softstart switch.
• S-class, hospital-grade filtration, which is excellent for users
with allergies or asthma.
• Available in three colors: black, red and white.
• A generous five-year warranty on both labor and all non-wear
parts.
SEBO Vacuums Save Money! – SEBO vacuums are the highest
quality machines available. In fact, if properly maintained, SEBO
vacuums can save ordinary residential users hundreds of dollars by providing excellent performance for ten to fifteen years
or more. Typical vacuums perform poorly and usually do not last
beyond two years. So, in the long run, SEBO vacuums cost less
money than the five to six other vacuums purchased during that
time period.
Outstanding Warranty Coverage – SEBO is confident about the
quality of all its vacuums. Therefore, all models include a fiveyear warranty on the motor and all non-wear parts.
Bag Full or Clog Indicator & Auto Shut Off –
“BAG FULL OR CLOG” indicator (located on
The
top of the canister near the ON/OFF power control knob)
will automatically shut off when it senses a
full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an
excessively dirty micro filter.
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 Telescopic Tube and Hose – On the AIRBELT D4,
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.

Quick-release Connections – The AIRBELT 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 suction power they are using. The light rotates
slower or faster depending on the suction
setting.
owerful Vacuum Motors Provide Excellent Cleaning – The
P
canister suction motor is 1250 watts, and the ET-1 power head
motor is 175 watts, for a total of 1,425 watts. The ET-2 power
head is 200 watts for a total of 1450 watts.
320-Degree Rotating Hose – A brilliantly
designed hose-to-canister connection allows
320-degree rotation of the suction hose, providing 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 covering protects furniture,
walls and the vacuum itself from damage
during use.
Personalized Vacuums – AIRBELT canister vacuums can be
personalized with a replacement AIRBELT bumper cover available in eight patterns and colors.
Rubber Coated Wheels and High Quality
Castors – The quality of the wheels and cas-
tors on SEBO canisters prevent damage to

Three Full-Size On-board Tools 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 with the D4 is the
Parquet Brush for gently cleaning hard
floors. It is lightweight with soft bristles, so it
glides gently over floors. Many optional
accessories are also available.
SEBO AIRBELT D4 PRODUCT FEATURES
Liberation from Bagless! SEBO Bags are
ygienic – The three-layer filter bag is an
H
integral part of SEBO’s filtration system
because it effectively contains nearly all
dirt captured by the vacuum. SEBO bags
can be sealed when full, so no dust can
escape into the air during disposal. In
contrast, a lot of dust becomes airborne when emptying the
dirt containers of bagless vacuums, and their micro filters
quickly clog and must be replaced often, or a loss of suction
will occur. Bagless vacuum micro filters are expensive, usually costing much more than SEBO’s filter bags.
A Huge 1.5-Gallon Filter Bag – The largecapacity filter bag is convenient and eco-
omical because fewer bag changes are
n
needed. Micro Filters are Inexpensive
and Easy to Change – Unlike most other
vacuums, SEBO’s replacement micro filters are reasonably priced and can be
easily changed in seconds, without any
tools. And the micro filters last a long time before replacements are necessary because nearly all dust particles and
debris are first captured by the three-layer filter bags.
Anti-allergy Hospital-grade, S-class Filtration – An excellent choice for users with
allergies or asthma.
Allergy foundations in Europe, the AIRBELT
D4 vacuums provide the user with S-Class filtration of 99.9% of particles to 0.3 microns.
This is accomplished by the SEBO three-step filtration system.
First, the three-layer full-size filter bag (a) collects the vast
majority of the debris. Then, the remainder of the particles are
collected by the motor filter (b). Finally, the hospital-grade
micro filter (c) cleans the exhaust air that the vacuum emits.
The AIRBELT (d) disperses the filtered exhaust air around the
canister which provides quiet, gentle air flow. SEBO’s unwavering attention to the complete sealing of the machine ensures no
dirt escapes around the microfilters.

ET Power Heads - Designed for All Floor
Surfaces.

and the brush may be switched off to clean
hard floors and delicate rugs. The steering
bility of the swivel necks help to easily
a
clean around obstacles, and their L-shaped
heads provide maneuverability around furniture and under cabinets. They also have
brush height and brush wear warning lights.
Cleaning Dimensions – The ET-1 power head is 12-inches
wide, with a cleaning with of 10
inches wide, with a 13-inch cleaning width.
Brushless Cleaning Capability – The ET-1 or ET-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.
