SEBO Cable Hook for AUTOMAT...

Product details
Winding several yards of mains cable puts real leverage on a catch not much bigger than a thumbnail, which is why cord hooks are a routine replacement. 5703DB is the dark blue one, shared by the AUTOMATIC X4, the X5 and the X8.
Failure comes at the root of the moulding, where years of daily winding have worked the plastic back and forth. What follows is more than untidiness: an unsecured cable drags along behind the vacuum, gets pinched under its wheels and loses its outer jacket far earlier than it should. Refitting a hook at the original mounting point puts the coil back where it belongs, high on the body and clear of the floor, and it takes one screw and a couple of minutes.
- Fits: SEBO AUTOMATIC X4, AUTOMATIC X5 and AUTOMATIC X8
- Colour: dark blue
- Part number: 5703DB
- Job: keeps the coiled lead secured while the machine is stored
- Matching dark blue part: 5721DB carrying handle
On the X4 and X5 the hook is also sold as a set together with the carrying handle and stop spring under number 5768DB, which is the tidier route when both mouldings have aged at the same rate and neither looks likely to see out another year.
One moulding covering three machines is useful for a household or a small cleaning round running a mixed fleet, since the same spare suits whichever of them breaks first. It is worth keeping one on the shelf for that reason alone, as a hook tends to snap at the least convenient moment, part-way through a job with the cable already out.
Searches that lead here include SEBO X8 cable hook, AUTOMATIC X4 cord hook, X5 cord storage hook in dark blue, and the number 5703DB on its own. Genuine SEBO moulding rather than a generic clip, and it ships in 2–5 business days.
