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.
Parts List
To assist you in identifying components of your vacuum, the parts have
been numbered as follows:

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.

Assembly
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust
bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE
DUST BAG.
fig. 1 Before assembling appliance, remove two screws from the
connector assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling
upward.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.

Insert short screw into top hole and long screw into the bottom
hole then tighten firmly until handle is no longer loose.
fig. 3 Attach cord to cord clip by pressing cord above and below clip
The Belt
ensuring the cord is fully rested in clip.
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.
Operating Instructions
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 handle assembly
when ready to operate.
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.
Up-Position Lock
fig. 4 Place foot on power head and lean handle back gently to release
lock for vacuum use. Return handle to the full upright position to
engage lock.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.
Further lubrication is not required.
NOTE: 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.
General Cleaner Care
For Easy Power Cord Storage
At least once a month, check for
and remove excessive lint, string or
hair from revolving brush.
fig. 5 Wrap power cord around cord hook on handle and cord hook on
connector. Secure to "U" shaped part on plug.
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.
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.
A little preventative maintenance will
keep your cleaner looking new and
will ensure continued cleaning
effectiveness.
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.

CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
fig. 16 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height
above base plate at each end of brush.
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.
If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height does
not extend above base plate, a new brush assembly should be ordered.
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.

Using an Oreck Fresh Air Tab
Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System
fig. 20 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK FRESH
AIR® tab pocket. This light-colored pocket is located inside the
vinyl bag in the area where the paper disposable bag attaches
to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.
The Celoc SMMS outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high filtration
medical material designed to filter the smallest of dust particles. It is
important the inside of the outer bag be cleaned. Vacuum the inside of
the outer bag or hand wash, turned inside out, with warm water, and air
dry. The Celoc layered disposable inner dust bag must be replaced
once a month even if it is not full. Change it more often if it is used in
extremely dirty areas. Increase the cleaning power of your vacuum by
changing the bag often.
Bulb Replacement
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 21 Remove lamp housing by removing two (2) screws in the top of
the lamp housing. Pull burned out bulb from holder and replace
with new bulb. Use only Oreck replacement parts. Replace
lamp housing by replacing two screws in the top of the lamp
housing.
To Replace Filter Dust Bag
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
BAG REMOVAL:
Stuffing or Blockage
fig. 6 Unzip outer bag completely.
fig. 7 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag dock door from
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the
intake tube and the lower tube assembly. This is 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. 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 these steps:
connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.
fig. 8 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.
The dust seal will close automatically.
BAG INSTALLATION:
fig. 9 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.
fig. 10 Firmly push bag dock door with both thumbs on indication point
until it snaps.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
How to Replace a Worn Belt
fig. 22 Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or
coat hanger. If you cannot reach the blockage, remove
baseplate (fig. 23).
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 11 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.

coat hanger.
fig. 27 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
fig. 25 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 locking tabs are
locked in place.
fig. 13 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of
the housing.
fig. 12 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.
To Adjust or Replace Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 28 Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing. Reattach
bag spring (fig. 24).
fig. 16 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.
fig. 29 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.
fig. 17 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.
fig. 18 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an
Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center.

fig. 19 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 no ribs on the
top of the assembly. The one marked "NEW" has several ribs. When
rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the
same and face up when replacing the brush roll.
