SEBO Air Guide, Complete, for SOFTCASE CE12

Position 5 on SEBO's exploded parts list for the SOFTCASE CE12 belongs to the air guide, and part 75102ER is that item supplied complete and already assembled. It is the ducting that shapes where air travels through the upper body of the machine, and buying it finished saves piecing the individual components together on the bench.

Its place in the numbering is worth knowing. Position 5 sits alongside the grip 75103GS at 1, the 557 millimetre handle rod 75033 at 2, the gray black handle guides 75156GS at 3 and the power cord sealing adapter 75146 at 6, which puts the air guide in the upper body group rather than down in the nozzle. Years of warm air passing through take their toll, and a guide that has cracked, softened or been distorted during an earlier repair leaks air at exactly the point where it should be directing it. The machine still runs, still picks up, and simply never feels as strong as the owner remembers.
