Operating Instructions
To Operate
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
Type CC disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of
your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
Make sure 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 and press the
On (l) - OFF (O) switch on top of base when ready to
operate.
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.
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.
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. Using belts other
than ORECK belts will void the warranty.
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.
Lubrication
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its
operation:
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated
and seated. Further lubrication is not required.
1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—
FIRST PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.
General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check
for and remove excessive
lint, string or hair from
revolving brush.
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.
Wipe the inside and outside
of the outer vinyl bag and
the outside of the cleaner
with a damp cloth. Also
clean the connector deflector
assembly area, base of
cleaner and fan housing
area. Vacuum or shake dust
out of the inner bag.
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.
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
area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The
revolving brush could damage the cord.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner
looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effec-
tiveness.
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.
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and
fringe.
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 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.
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.

See illustration F.
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

1. Check for blockage at the
mouth of the intake

If there is blockage, remove
it with long-nose pliers, a

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.
