SEBO Complete Power Head Cover in Red for AUTOMATIC X4 Premium PET

Nothing on an upright collects damage like the shell over the cleaning head. It arrives at skirting boards, chair legs and stair nosings ahead of everything else, and it absorbs each one. SEBO 5778AM is that shell in red, supplied complete, and it belongs to AUTOMATIC X4 machines built to X4 Premium PET specification. On the parts drawing for this range the power head cover is item 100, the group that caps the head as a whole.

Appearance is only part of what it contributes. The shell closes the brush chamber, keeps the air path across the roller sealed along its edges, and stands between a hand and a roller that may not have finished turning. Damage generally starts as a split leaving one of the mounting bosses, where the section is thinnest. From there the head gains flex under load, the trim line lifts along an edge, and a seam opens for dust to work into. A head with that much movement in it no longer supports the roller as firmly as its bearings expect. Ordering the cover complete means the repair turns up ready-built, with no panels and fasteners to marry together first, and that is the point where this job most often stalls.

There are two red covers in the catalogue for this machine and they do not interchange, so read the specification plate alongside the finish before choosing. Take the plug out and give the roller time to stop turning before the head is opened, and ease the surrounding trim away instead of prying against it. With the shell off, roller and belt are both in clear view and worth assessing. Searches that arrive here include the bare number, a SEBO X4 power head cover in red, and a genuine SEBO nozzle cover for a Premium PET. Ships in 2–5 business days.
