Static shocks when using the carpet cleaner on certain carpets

Safety first: Static shocks are uncomfortable but usually not dangerous. However, always unplug the machine before internal inspection.

• Increase humidity: Use a humidifier in very dry environments to reduce static build-up.
• Footwear and contact: Wear shoes with conductive soles and avoid dragging the machine by the hose only. Keep one hand on the insulated handle.
• Check cord and plug: Ensure the SEBO power cord and plug are undamaged and properly grounded (for models with earth pin). Replace damaged cords.
• Anti-static strips: Some SEBO heads use anti-static brushes or strips. If missing or worn, have them replaced by a technician.

If you experience strong shocks or see sparks at the plug, stop using the machine and have it inspected for grounding issues.
