Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL High-Speed Upright is one of the finest, fastest, and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the way it cleans, gets under things, and it’s SO lightweight and 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 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
4. 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
5. or wet 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.
6. 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 area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8.
DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The revolving brush could damage the cord.
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags

disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner. Using bags other than genuine ORECK TYPE CC 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.
An extra belt is stored in the baseplate 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 seated. Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for
emove excessive lint, string
and r or hair from revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector deflector assembly
ea, base of cleaner and fan
ar housing area. If there is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it or shake it out.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

Stuffing or Blockage
nder certain conditions it is possible to stuff or block the intake
U tube and the lower tube assembly. If your vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the outer bag
oes not fluff up or balloon open, follow the following steps:
d
ARNING: Unplug cord from electrical

blockage, remove baseplate. See illustration B.
2. If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. See illustration C. Unhook retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag. 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.
3. If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. See illus­tration D. Remove debris with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
4. To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged. See illustration D. Vacuum will not operate properly without the tube Oring. Slide O-ring to approximately 2" from base of tube. Replace tube by first lining up slot at base of tube with inner tab inside fan housing. Then reinsert tube and push down until the tube is seated. Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing opening. Replace and tighten collar until collar locking tabs are locked in place. See illustration E. Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing.

5. Many times blockage occurs ue to a full dust bag
d causing dirt to back down the air flow system. When
hat happens, the blockage
t will be at the top of the system, starting in the area
here the dust bag connects
w to the connector assembly. See illustration F.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center or call the customer service center.
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur due to excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet. Stuffing could occur for the first few cleanings until all the loose material is removed. Due to the high efficiency of the cleaner, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the cleaner is first used on them.
