General
Information
The Endurolife Belt
The Oreck Gold is equipped with the Endurolife Belt, which is designed for long life and
doesn’t need changing. If the vacuum sucks up a large obstruction, the Endurolife Belt is
designed to shut the upright down.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
1. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from the vacuum.
2. Once the blockage is cleared, plug the vacuum back in and it will reset.
NOTE: If the vacuum continues to shut down, contact an Oreck Authorized
Service Center.
Lubrication
The vacuum motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not
required.
CAUTION
Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.)
Floor Surfaces and
Polished Floor Finishes
Use oor and oor nish manufacturer’s recommended
methods of cleaning. The brushroll may also scuff very
soft nishes. Do not operate the vacuum while in the
upright and locked position. Do not let the vacuum run
while in any one stationary position for any period of
time. Keep the vacuum moving while in operation.
Note: At least once a month, check for and remove
excessive lint, string or hair from the revolving
brushroll. Patented cleaning grooves on the brushroll
will allow easier cleaning. Wipe the outside of the
vacuum with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector
deector assembly area, base of vacuum and fan
housing area. If there is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it
or shake it out.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your Upright
vacuum looking new and will ensure continued cleaning
effectiveness.

Simple Operation Tips / Vacuum Care
You’ll love the way your Oreck cleans under things, and is SO lightweight and easy to use.
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:
• When inserting a new disposable inner bag, rst puff out and OPEN the bag.
• When the disposable inner bag is full, replace it.
• Check the disposable inner bag at least once a month.
• Do not run the vacuum over the cord. The revolving brushroll could damage the cord.
• Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
• If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an unusual noise, stop
operation and service.
• Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small objects, it is
recommended that these be removed from the oor before you vacuum. Failure to do
so may result in permanent damage to the motor suction fan and its housing.
• At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from revolving
brushroll. Wipe the outside of the vacuum with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector
deector assembly area, base of vacuum and fan housing area. If there is dust in the outer
bag, vacuum it or shake it out.
The performance of your new vacuum greatly depends upon care and maintenance. The
instructions in this manual will guide you in performing basic care and maintenance. To obtain
the most satisfying years of service read the instructions and keep them handy for future
reference.
HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Inner Bag
Your Oreck includes a HEPA Filtration Odor Fighting Inner Bag. The
disposable inner bag plays a very important role in the efciency of
your ORECK vacuum. The purpose of the disposable inner bag is to
trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to
pass through. If the disposable inner bag becomes clogged, no air can
pass through the vacuum and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of
the vacuum’s power.
To keep your Upright vacuum operating at maximum efciency,
change the disposable inner bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE
LINE INDICATED ON THE DISPOSABLE INNER BAG.
Be sure the disposable inner bag is installed properly. Note: All
disposable inner bags are not the same. Oreck offers HEPA and nonHEPA inner bags. Your Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA inner bags have
been designed to be used with the ORECK Upright vacuum. Using
bags other than genuine Oreck HEPA or non-HEPA disposable inner
bags will affect the cleaning ability of your vacuum and could cause
damage to it.

Maintenance
Replacing the Brushroll
The brushroll is designed for long life. Should it ever become worn or frayed, it can be replaced
by an Oreck Authorized Service Center.
Replacing Edge Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
Turn the power head over. With baseplate facing up,
remove the screw located in the center of each edge
brush. Remove both edge brushes and replace with new
ones. Replace both screws and tighten.
Stuffing or Blockage
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stufng may occur inside the intake tube and the
lower tube assembly. This is due to excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet. Stufng
could occur for the rst few cleanings until all the loose material is removed. Due to the
high efciency of the vacuum, many older carpets will cause stufng when the vacuum is
rst used on them. If your vacuum does not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the
outer bag does not uff up or balloon open, follow these steps:
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there
1
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or
coat hanger.
If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook
2
bag spring, releasing bottom of bag.
3
Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out
of base. Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove
with a coat hanger.
4
If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.

Maintenance

To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged. Replace tube by
5
rst lining up slot at base of tube with tab inside fan housing.
Insert tube and push down until the tube is seated. Make sure O-ring is in place
6
against fan housing opening. Replace and tighten collar until collar locking
tabs are locked in place. Reattach bag spring.
Many times blockage occurs due to a full disposable inner bag causing dirt to
7
back down the air ow system. When that happens, the blockage will be at the
top of the system, starting in the area where the disposable inner bag connects
to the deector.

Motor Protection/Vacuum Shutdown
If the vacuum becomes overloaded, which could occur by sucking up a large obstruction or on
extremely thick carpet, the electronics are designed to shut down the vacuum. If this happens,
the vacuum will be turned off but the headlights will remain on. To reset the vacuum turn the
unit off, wait 5 seconds, and then turn it back on. If it shuts down again there may be a large
obstruction in the vacuum.
Note: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an Oreck authorized service
center or call the customer service center. US: 1-800-989-3535 Canada: 1-888-676-7325
