Grounding Istructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided with appliance.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120volt circuit. It has a grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

Parts List

To assist you in identifying components of your vacuum, the parts have been numbered as follows:

1 Handle assembly 2 Exhaust tubes 3 Power head 4 Outer bag 5 Paper filter dust bag 6 Power cord 7 On/Off switch 8 Cord hooks 9 Cord lock 10 Belt door 11 Replacement belts 12 Plenum 13 Collars 14 Carpet height adjustment 15 Detent 16 Tube seals 17 Power head cord 18 Pivots

Operating Instructions

Make sure disposable paper filter dust bag is in place. DO NOT operate the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag. Connect handle power cord to extension cord.

fig. 1 Using the cord lock attached to power cord, lock and tighten the

cords together. Plug the extension cord into an electrical outlet and press the On (l) - OFF (O) switch on Handle Assembly.

Detent

fig. 2 The detent is located beneath the right pivot. This releases

handle for operation, and locks handle in place when stationary and for storage. To release, step on detent and gently pull handle back.

NOTE: Do not use excessive force when pulling handle from its locked position. Do not try to release handle without pressing detent. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner while in the upright and locked position. Do not let the vacuum cleaner run while in any one stationary position for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.

Carpet Height Adjustment

Difficulty operating unit on some carpeted surfaces can be resolved by carpet height adjustment (C.H.A.).

fig. 3 Tilt unit back and turn C.H.A. knob located on top cover clockwise

to lift nozzle. This will reduce friction between the brush roll and carpet to allow easier movement over surface.

fig. 4 Turn C.H.A. knob counter-clockwise to lower nozzle for bare floor

and low pile carpeted surfaces. Do not use the highest setting on these surfaces.

For Easy Power Cord Storage

1/2 turn. Slide cord off handle.

Cleanability can be effected if not used properly.

Operating Recommendations

This new ORECK XL Professional Grade Commercial Upright is one of the finest, fastest, and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the way it cleans, and it’s SO easy to use.

The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:

1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.

2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.

3. If at any time the vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly or makes an unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.

4. Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the motor suction fan and its housing.

WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet

5. surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp surfaces is not covered under warranty.

REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS.

7. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month—even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor, attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.

DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving

8. brush could damage the cord.

General Information

The performance of your new vacuum cleaner 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.

Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags

Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power. Increase the CLEANING POWER of your vacuum cleaner by changing the bag often.

To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently.

Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.

All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK vacuum cleaner. Using bags other than genuine ORECK disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.

The Belt

The belt on your vacuum cleaner controls the speed of the revolving brush and is very important for the effective operation of the cleaner. If the belt becomes stretched or cut, it will cause the revolving brush to stop completely or slow down. See instructions in the manual for replacing belt.

Extra belts are stored in the plenum cover of your cleaner. When buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK genuine belts. Belts other than Oreck belts will not operate the revolving brush correctly and may create undue stress which will cause damage to the motor and brush bearings. Using belts other than ORECK belts will void the warranty.

Lubrication

The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.

DO NOT OVER FILL DUST BAG.
