Grounding Instructions
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.
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 120-volt 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.

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.
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.
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, attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving brush could damage the cord.
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 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 dirt, but at the same time it must be porous 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, regardless of the cleaner’s power.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently.
DUST BAG.
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 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.
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.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care
DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE
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 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.
To Replace Filter Dust Bag
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
BAG REMOVAL:
Unzip outer bag completely.
fig. 5 fig. 6 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag from connector. BAG INSTALLATION: fig. 7 Hook bottom of bag collar opening under lip "B" of connector
assembly. Pull up on bag collar and snap over lip "A" of connector.
fig. 8 Press on edges of bag collar to insure bag is completely
installed.
IMPORTANT: Check to make sure bag collar is behind lips "A" and "B". If it is not, dust will leak into outer bag. When filter bag is in place, close outer bag with zipper fastener.
How to Replace a Worn Belt
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
fig. 9 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel. fig. 10 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on
side of power head.
fig. 11 Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or
coin.
fig. 12 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll
pulley.
fig. 13 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.
fig. 11 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of
the housing.
fig. 10 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.
To Adjust or Replace Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
fig. 14 To determine if the brush is worn, place a firm straight edge
across the nozzle opening. If brush bristles do not extend beyond baseplate, brush should be adjusted.
fig. 15 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws. fig. 16 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing. fig. 17 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 a smooth side
on the end card. The one marked “NEW” has a notched side on the end card. When rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the same and face up when replacing the brush roll.

Page 6
fig. 14 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
fig. 18 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special Oreck Fresh
Air®tab pocket. This pocket is located inside the outer bag in the area where the disposable paper bag attaches to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.
Stuffing or Blockage
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the the intake tube and the lower tube assembly. This is 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. If your vacuum cleaner 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.
fig. 19 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 (fig. 20).
fig. 21 If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook
retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag.
fig. 22 Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of
base.
fig. 23 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a
coat hanger.
fig. 24 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
fig. 22 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 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.
fig. 25 Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing. Reattach
bag spring (fig. 21).
fig. 26 Many times blockage occurs due to a full dust bag causing dirt
to 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 dust bag connects to the connector assembly
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an Oreck authorized service center or call the commercial customer service center.USA: 1-800-989-1
