Operating Instructions
To Operate
Make sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is in place.
DO NOT operate the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Press the ON
OFF
(O) switch on handle assembly when ready to operate.
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.
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.
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
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, attract moisture, act as a breeding
ea and can af
ar
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 paper filter dust bags play a ver
in the efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose
of the paper bag is to trap dir
be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper
bag becomes clogged, no air can pass thr
and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s
power.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency,
change the dust bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE
LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed
properly.

.
A
ll 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
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 war
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated
and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care
ORECK belts will not operate the revolving
ranty.
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 manufactur
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.

WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
Rotate and match bearing
assemblies
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.
Remove the baseplate by
removing 5 screws. Then,
remove the belt and brush
roll from the housing.
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.
The one marked “NEW”
has notches. When
rotating bearings, make
sure both bearing
assembly settings are the
same and face up when
replacing the brush roll.
Reassemble the belt and
the baseplate and check
bristle height above
baseplate at each end of
brush.
Replace the door by
sliding it into the groove
at the bottom of the
housing. Replace the
hold down screw.
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.

Stuffing or Blockage
nder certain conditions it is possible to stuff or block the intake

not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the outer bag
oes not fluff up or balloon open, follow the following steps:
d
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
1. Check for blockage at the
mouth of the intake
opening. See illustration A.
If there is blockage, remove
it with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
If you can not reach the
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. 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

NOTE: If the “Stuffing or Blockage” actions do not correct the
problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center or call the
customer service center at
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.
