yes but you will need a new spring to put on it or you can leave it off it will not harm anything it just will stop the vacuum from standing on its own so yes

Sounds like the controller microchip has become disconnected. You'll need to flip the SEBO over on its side and remove the floor head - to do this, kneel on the floor and press the release button below the main front bin to unlock the floor head from the main bin area. Putting one knee on the floor head might help as the lock might be still. This pulls the floor head apart from the main bin and user handle. Once unlocked, flip the head over and undo the 4 large screws (2 at the back and 2 near the front on either side) Once the floor head has become loose, ease it off slowly and you should see the microchip board. With the bumper in front of you look to your right hand side to check that the microchip thread has not been pulled out. Check that all points are pushed in correctly 0- you should download a parts and manual diagram from SEBO UK or SEBO Germany (Sebo.de) in English. This will show you the microchip board and the microchip connectors. Once checked, reverse process, fit screws back on with the floor head cover underneath and re assemble before switching back on. Hope it helps!

Check that there is no dirt clogging the main central wheel on the underside of the floor head. In any eventuality the main floor head hood will have to come off, via screws on the floor head base. By the right hand side , if looking down into the internals you'll notice two drive belts - check and see if these are intact. Directly next to this is the LED microchip board. Check that all the microchips are pushed in, as there is one for the height control that can usually pop out if the SEBO has been dropped or if the machine has been bumped off walls.

Check the main "kitchen roll" filter isn't clogged which is on the left hand side of the bag when the bin door is opened. There could be a clog, either behind the pick out metal grid below the filter roll, or the roll filter requires to be replaced. Can you add more info about the squeaking though? Is it a high pitched squeal all of the time or just intermittent and where it seems to be coming from - it could be excess air escaping from a pierced hose or a drive belt issue.

Is it a Sebo , or is it a Hoover. It can't be both . "losing power" ??? Motor comes on and off ? or stops picking up ? Be more specific please.

We have the Sanyo Transfomax 3 in 1 vacuum and FINALLY found that one has to use a screwdriver at the edges of the "hand hold" just above the Sanyo name (between black and green parts), to pop open the cleaner in order to replace the bag or clean the filter.

What a miserable way to change a bag!

I know this is almost a year late...but I just found your request. Ta ta, Rita

Those machines measure the suction, check the normal spots for plugs, the hose, wand, in the base where the dirt goes 90 degrees. Unhook things and reconnect. Use your ears, the motor will change pitch if you connect to an area thats plugged. If it's just not plugged it may be a very full bag or dirty filters restricting the air flow. That light simply says when there's not enough air flow. If it's not plugged it's the filter I'd suspect. They're cloth like material so its hard to tell when they're too plugged. I'll include links to the correct filters for that machine. Tall Filterhttp://vacuummedic.com/product.php?id=223 Exhaust Filterhttp://vacuummedic.com/product.php?id=219 Happy Vacuuming!The Vac Dr.

Did you break the end of the wand off possibly? It should just slide in and out but if you broke the tapered end off it wouldn't fit. I'll include a link to a page with pictures of what it should look like. Good Luck!The Vac Drhttp://vacuummedic.com/product.php?id=482
