performing basic care and maintenance. To obtain the most satis-
fying years of service read the instructions and keep them handy
for finite reference.
Operating Recommendations
This new ORECK XL High-Speed Upright is one of the finest, fastest
and strongest units in its clas. 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:
I. 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 vu 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 fo 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 wel
or damp surfaces is not covered BO warranty.
6. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month—
even if it is not fulll The collected dust in the dust bag can
cause odor, atiract moisture, act as a breeding area and can
affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
7. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.
8. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges & fringe.
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags
Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the
efficiency ol your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the filter
bag is fo trap dirt, but at the same fime it must be porous enough
to allow air fo 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. Increase the CLEANING
POWER of your cleaner by changing the bag often.
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.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK disposable dust
bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner.
poing bags other than genuine ORECK disposable bags will affect
the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
Ln
The Belt
This vacuum is equipped with the Endurolife Belt, which is
designed for long life and doesn't need changing. If the vacuum
sucks up a large obstruction, the Endurolife Belt is designed fo shut
the upright down.
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
I. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from the vacuum.
(See Page 6, “Stuffing or Blockage”)
2. Once the blockage is cleared, plug the vacuum back in and it
will reset.
NOTE: If the vacuum continues to shut down, contact an Oreck
Authorized Service Center.
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 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 tie, 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 stafionary
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 INSTALLATION:
I. Hook bottom of bag collar
opening under lip “B” of
connector assembly. Pull up
on bag collar and snap over
y & lip “A” of connector.
nN
. 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.
Stuffing or Blockage
Under certain conditions it is possible to stuff or block the intake
tube and the lower tube assembly. 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 the following steps:
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 illus-
tration 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 fo
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.
. 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.
See illustration F.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact
an ORECK authorized service center or call the commercial
customer service center.
