Operating Instructions  
1. Open the bag housing by  
pushing on the door latch.  
Fold the ends of the dust  
bag together and carefully  
remove the bag. Dispose of  
bag (fig 8).  
NOTE: This machine is suitable for voltage for 120V AC / 60 Hz.  
Pre Operation Checks  
1. Check to ensure a dust bag is installed. Replace bag if needed.  
2. Check brush area for any thread, string or debris that may be  
wrapped around the brush.  
2. Always install a new dust  
bag directly after removing a  
full one.  
Vacuuming Carpet  
1. Make sure the power switch 4  
is in the “OFF” position.  
Plug the power cord into  
an electrical outlet.  
3. To install the new dust bag,  
push the bag onto the inlet  
of the fan motor as far as it  
will go. Fold the top down  
so it will not interfere with the door latch.  
2. Adjust the carpet height  
adjustment to suit the  
1

4. Close the door ensuring that it latches properly.  
Operating Recommendations  
3. Turn the main power switch  
on. The vacuum fan motor  
will turn (fig 5).  
This new ORECK XL Professional Grade Commercial Upright is one  
of the finest, fastest, and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the  
way it cleans, and it’s easy to use.  
4. While holding the handle,  
depress the yellow release  
pedal and lower the handle  
to a convenient operating  
position. When the handle  
is lowered the brush motor  
will start turning (fig 6).  
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:  
1. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT. When  
inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST PUFF  
OUT and OPEN THE BAG.

2. Inspect and clean the filter at the vacuum motor inlet weekly.  
3. If at any time the vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly or  
makes an unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.  
5. Begin vacuuming.  
Remote Vacuum  
Wand Cleaning  
1. Keep machine in a stable  
position, preferably an  
upright position.  
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. Damage caused by use on wet or damp  
surfaces is not covered under warranty.  
2. Plug in the power cord and  
switch on the machine as  
described in the “Upright  
Carpet Vacuum Cleaning”.  
6. 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.  
3. Remove the wand by  
snapping it out of the  
retainer clip and pulling it  
from its inlet. The brush  
motor will stop automatically  
when the wand is removed  
(fig 7).  
7. Inspect brush for wear once a month. If brush strips no longer  
touch the carpet, replace brush.  
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving  
brush could damage the cord.

General Information  
To Clean or Replace Inlet Filter  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet  
before servicing.  
The performance of your new vacuum 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.  
1. Remove the dust bag.  
10  
2. Snap the filter retainer from  
its fitting (fig 10).  
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags  
3. Remove the filter and clean  
by shaking or vacuuming.  
Replace the filter if worn or  
not cleanable.  
Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the  
efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper  
bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to  
allow air to pass through. If the paper 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 vacuum cleaner by changing the bag often.  
4. Replace filter in the retainer  
and snap into place.  
5. Replace dust bag.  
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the  
dust bag frequently. DO NOT OVER FILL DUST BAG.  
CAUTION: Do not operate the  
vacuum without the inlet filter in  
place.  
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.  
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK recommend-  
ed disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the  
ORECK vacuum cleaner. Using bags other than ORECK  
recommended disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability  
of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.  
To Replace Brush  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet  
before servicing.  
Lubrication  
1. Remove the screw holding  
the brush access plate and  
remove plate (fig 11).  
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and  
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.  
11  
General Vacuum Cleaner Care  
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or  
hair from revolving brush.  
2. Grasp the brush strip and  
slide it out of the brush  
extension.  
Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean  
the base of cleaner and housing area.  
3. Replace the strip with a new  
one and slide it into place.  
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new  
and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.  
4. Replace the access plate  
and install the screw.  
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor  
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes  
If a previous adjustment has  
already been made and bristle  
height does not extend above  
baseplate, a new brush  
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of  
cleaning. The metal strip on the base of the vacuum 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.  
assembly should be ordered.

Thermal Overload  
The internal temperature of the vacuum motor is sensed at all times.  
When the temperature gets too high the sensor shuts off the vacuum  
motor. Inspect the machine for any air obstruction. The sensor will  
reset automatically when the sensor and electric motor have cooled  
sufficiently. The motor can then be restarted
