General Infor
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.
Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL High-Speed Upright is one of the finest,
6
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.
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
5.
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
filter can cause odor, attract moisture, act as a breeding
area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The
8.
revolving brush could damage the cord.
Use caution when vacuuming over ar

fringe.
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
filter bag is to trap dir
enough to allow air to pass through. If the filter bag becomes
clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning
cannot take place, r

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 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
uctions in the manual for replacing belt.
instr
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
rectly and may create undue stress which will cause damage
cor
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 the revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the cleaner with
a damp cloth. Also, clean the
connector deflector 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 floor and floor finish 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 floors, soft (vinyl, asphalt tile,
etc.) floor surfaces and polished floor finishes. The roller brush
may also scuff very soft finishes. 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.

that happens, the blockage
will be at the top of the
system, starting in the area

To Adjust or Replace Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from

To determine if the brush is
n, place a firm straight
wor
edge across the nozzle
opening. If brush bristles
do not extend beyond
baseplate, brush should be
adjusted.
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.
