Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL High Speed Upright is one of the nest,
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 lter dust bag—FIRST
PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.
2. When the disposable lter 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.
4. 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.
5. WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp 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
9
surfaces is not covered under warranty.
6. REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS.
7. Change the disposable lter dust bag at least once a month—
even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause
odour, attract moisture, and can affect the efciency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
General Information
The performance of your new 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 lter dust bags play a very important role in the
efciency 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.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efciency, change
the dust bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE
INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.
Be sure the disposable paper lter 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 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
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.

General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for
and remove excessive lint, string
or hair from revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the cleaner
with a damp cloth. Also clean the
Connector deector Assembly area,
base of cleaner 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 cleaner looking new
and will ensure continued cleaning
effectiveness.
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 metal strip on the base of the cleaner could be damaged
if used on concrete or abrasive surfaces, and, therefore, cause
damage to wood oors, soft (vinyl, asphalt tile, etc.) oor surfaces
and polished oor nishes. The roller brush may also scuff very
soft nishes. Do not operate the unit while in the upright and locked
position. Do not let the unit run while in any one stationary position for
any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.
To Replace Filter Dust Bag
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.

g. 7 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.
BAG INSTALLATION:
g. 8 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.
g. 9 Firmly push bag dock door with both thumbs on indication
point until it snaps.
How to Replace a Worn Belt
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
g. 10 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.
g. 11 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on
side of power head.
g. 12 Fold door away from power head and lift it away.
g. 13 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll
pulley.
g. 14 Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the
opposite end of the belt on the brush roll pulley. Rotate the
brush roll three (3) complete revolutions to ensure that no part
of the belt is overhanging the end of the motor drive shaft.
g. 12 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of
the housing.
g. 11 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.
To Adjust or Replace Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
g. 15 To determine if the brush is worn, place a rm straight
edge across the nozzle opening. If brush bristles do not
extend beyond baseplate, brush should be adjusted.
g. 16 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.
g. 17 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.
g. 18 Rotate both bearing assemblies at ends of brush roll to show
“OLD” and replace in the holding channels in the housing.
NOTE: The bearing assembly setting marked “OLD” has no ribs on
the top of the assembly. The one marked “NEW”has several ribs.
When rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings
are the same and face up when replacing the brush roll.
g. 15 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle
height above baseplate at each end of brush.
If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height
does not extend above baseplate, a new brush assembly should be
ordered.
IMPORTANT: Unless the brush is worn as indicated above,
both bearings must be in the “NEW” position. When rotating,
both bearings must be in the “OLD” position. Unmatched
settings will cause damage to your machine.
Using An Oreck Fresh Air®Tab
g. 19 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special Oreck Fresh
Air®tab pocket. This light-coloured pocket is located inside the
Outer Bag in the area where the Disposable Filter Dust Bag
attaches to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.
Stufng or Blockage
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stufng may occur inside
the 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 cleaner, many older carpets will
cause stufng when the cleaner is rst used on them. If your vacuum
cleaner 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.
g. 20 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. If you can not reach the
blockage, remove baseplate (g. 21).
g. 22 If the blockage is not at the base, remove Lower Tube.
Unhook retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag.
g. 23 Twist lower Collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube
out of base.
g. 24 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with
a coat hanger.
g. 25 If tube is not blocked, look into Fan Housing. Remove
debris with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
g. 23 To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if
damaged. Vacuum will not operate properly without the
tube O-ring. Slide O-ring to approximately 2” from base
of tube. Replace tube by rst 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.
g. 26 Make sure Collar is not cross threaded on Housing.
Reattach Bag Spring (g. 22).
g. 27 Many times blockage occurs due to a full dust bag causing
dirt to 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 Filter Dust Bag connects to the Connector
Assembly.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact
an Oreck Approved Service Centre.
