SEBO Brush Cover Release for AUTOMATIC X5 — Dark Blue

Three consecutive lines on SEBO's AUTOMATIC X5 drawing describe one arrangement. Item 159 is the brush cover release, ordered in dark blue as 5714DB. Item 160 is the seal bearing, 5244HG. Item 161 is the cover itself, 5249DB1 in the same dark blue. The release is the catch of the three, the piece that keeps the hinged cover on the underside of the head pulled down where it belongs.

Anyone who cleans the roller works that catch by hand, which is why cracked arms and hooks worn to a curve are so ordinary on a machine a few years old. The consequences are subtler than a broken part usually suggests. A cover that stands a fraction high opens a path along the bottom of the head, and fine debris travels under the plate rather than into the airflow, so pickup on carpet falls off while the hose, bag and filters all check out clean. Tip the machine back for a bag change and a failed catch simply lets the cover swing down. The X5 head runs an edge brush roller alongside the main one, so a cover sitting proud puts both out of the relationship with the floor that SEBO designed.
