READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

DO NOT leave the vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
To avoid electric shock, DO NOT expose to rain. Store indoors. DO NOT use on wet surfaces.
This is NOT a toy. Close attention is necessary when used around or near children.
Use only as described in this safety manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments and accessories.

Maintenance and Customer Service
Your XLPro is a product of precise engineering. If you require additional information or have problems with your Oreck appliance, you may call
ORECK customer service at: 1-800-989-3535
Please specify the model number and serial/code number which can be found on the data plate on the back of the vacuum.
Save your sales or purchase slip. Should your Oreck appliance require warranty service in the U.S.A., present this slip to the Authorized Service
Center as your proof of purchase date or, in Canada, call customer service.
Vacuum Cleaner Care
Treat your vacuum cleaner as you would any other high grade precision made product. Dropping and other misuses may result in a damaged unit which will not be covered by warranty.
When not in use, the power cord should be wrapped around the molded-in cord wrap for storage. After each use, wipe the vacuum body, accessories and power cord with a damp cloth.
Read this manual completely before operating this vacuum. It is important to follow the instructions in the manual to prevent the possibility of injury or damage to the user and/or machine.
Operation & Assembly
This vacuum is equipped with an air-thru motor and is designed for dry pickup only. Unpack the carton and remove the vacuum and attachments. The backpack comes assembled; you will need to install the hose and attachments.
NOTE: Some accessories are packed inside the units.
To Change Paper Filter Bag
1.
Turn top lid of vacuum a half turn counterclockwise and remove from the body.
2.
Remove full paper bag from the tank and dispose of properly.
3.
Expand paper filter bag and set inside the cloth filter.
4.
Reinstall top lid and turn a half turn clockwise to tighten.
CAUTION: Always exercise caution when handling the vacuum.
Dropping the vacuum could cause permanent damage to the internal components.
Cloth Filter Maintenance
The cloth filter should be cleaned each time you empty the tank. DO
NOT WASH the cloth filter because shrinkage of the cloth and damage to the gasket can occur. To clean the cloth filter, shake off loose particles and brush exposed surface with a soft bristle brush.
To Connect Hose
1. Connect the non-swivel end of the hose into the inlet on top of vacuum.
2. Connect the swivel end of hose to the wand or tool you are planning to use.
Wand Assembly
The two piece wand requires some assembly.
1.
Align the button lock of the upper wand section with the opening for button lock in the lower wand section.
2.
Push sections together; unit lock is accomplished.
To Assemble Tools
1.
Turn wand nut counterclockwise approximately four complete turns.
2.
Insert the tool into wand and coupling.
3.
While holding tool in place, turn nut clockwise until wand nut is fully locked.
Grounding Instructions
TO OPEN
TO LOCK
DANGER: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, bring unit to an authorized service center. This electric equipment is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A).
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
Adjustment Instructions
Proper fitting and adjustment of the straps is necessary to ensure fatigue free use. The most important item to remember when adjusting the shoulder straps and the hip belt is that it is the hip belt that supports
the BackPack, not the shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are there to provide stability to balance the load, NOT to bear the weight.
Hip Belt
Loosen the shoulder straps and the hip belt and place the BackPack on your back with your arms through the shoulder straps. Position the belt on your hips. This should be about 2” below where you would wear a normal belt. Connect the male and female connectors together. Grasp the adjustment strap on each side of the hip belt connector and pull out, parallel to the ground, until the hip belt is firmly cinched to your hips.
Shoulder Straps
Now that you have the hip belt in place and tightened you may adjust the shoulder straps. Grasp the adjustment strap at the bottom of each shoulder pad and pull the straps downward until the straps are fitted to shoulder. Any irritation around the shoulder area indicates your shoulder straps are too tight.
