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 ensure the
most satisfying years of service read the instructions and keep
them handy for future reference.
Inner Filter Bag
Your Oreck includes a HEPA Odour Fighting Inner
Bag. The disposable inner bag plays a very
important role in the efficiency 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 efficiency, change the disposable
inner bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED
ON THE DISPOSABLE INNER BAG.
13
Be sure the disposable inner bag is installed properly. NOTE: All
disposable inner bags are not the same. Oreck offers HEPA
bags. Your Oreck HEPA inner bags

Simple Operating Tips
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, first 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
picked up from the floor before you vacuum. Failure to do
so may result in permanent damage to the motor suction
fan and its housing.
The Belt
The Oreck Magnesium™ is equipped with the Endurolife™ Belt,
which is designed for long life and doesn’t need changing.
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.

Motor Protection/Vacuum Shutdown
If the vacuum becomes overloaded (which could occur when a
large obstruction is sucked up or when vacuuming extremely
thick carpet), the electronics are designed to shut down the
vacuum. If this happens, the vacuum will automatically shut
off and the headlights will flash. 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.
Se e “Stuffin g or Blockag e” for the step s on cl eari ng a blo ckag e.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
Lubrication
The vacuum motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.
Further lubrication is not required.
Brushroll Maintenance
At least once a month, check for and remove
excessive lint, stri ng or hair from the revol ving
brushroll. Patented cleaning grooves on the
brushroll will allow easier cleaning. Wipe the
ou tside of the vac uum with a damp cl oth . Also
clean the connector deflector assembly area,
ba se of vacuum and fan hou sing area . If the re
is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it or shake it out. A little
preventative ma intenan ce will keep your up right vacuum loo king
new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

Place a quarter in the grooves of the plastic bat tery ca p (A). Rotate
counterclockwise 90 degrees.
2. Pull plastic battery cap out. The silver round battery is located
inside.
3. Located at the top of the battery is a silver battery contact that

Stuffing or Blockage
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may accumulate
inside the intake tube and the lower tube assembly. This is due
to excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet. Stuffing could
accumulate during the first few cleanings until all the loose
material is removed. Due to the high efficiency of the vacuum,
many older carpets will cause stuffing when the vacuum is first
used on them. If your vacuum does not pick up properly, or makes
unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open,
follow these steps:
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

7. Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If
there is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
8. Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube
out of base. Check for blockage. If blockage is in
remove with a coat hanger.
9. If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
10.
Insert tube and push down until the tube is seated. Make
sure O-ring is in place against fan housing opening.
11.
To finish reassembly, replace and tighten collar clockwise
until collar locking tabs are locked in place.
NOTE: Many times blockage occurs due to a full disposable inner
bag causing dirt to travel back down the air flow 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 connector assembly. If the above actions do not correct the
problem, contact us on AU: 1300 361 505 / NZ: 0800 800 900
