					Grounding Instructions   
					This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break   
					down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical   
					current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this appliance   
					has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must   
					only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and   
					grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.   
					DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor   
					can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician   
					or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is   
					grounded. If not, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.   
					This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a grounding   
					plug similar to the example shown.   
					Grounding Pin   
					Make sure the appliance is   
					connected to an outlet with the   
					same configuration as the plug.   
					No adapter should be used with   
					this appliance.

					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.   
					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.

					Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   
				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   
					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.   
					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.   
					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, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.   
					To Replace Filter Dust Bag   
					8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving   
					WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical   
					outlet before servicing.   
					brush could damage the cord.   
					9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.   
					BAG REMOVAL:   
					fig. 5 Unzip outer bag completely.   
					fig. 6 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag from connector.   
					BAG INSTALLATION:   
					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.   
					fig. 7 Hook bottom of bag collar opening under lip "B" of connector   
					assembly. Pull up on bag collar and snap over lip "A" of   
					connector.   
					fig. 8 Press on edges of bag collar to insure bag is completely   
					Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags   
					installed.   
					Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the   
					efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the filter bag   
					is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air   
					to 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.   
					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.   
					How to Replace a Worn Belt   
					To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust   
					bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE   
					DUST BAG.   
					WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical   
					outlet before servicing.   
					Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.   
					fig. 9 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.   
					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 disposable bags will affect   
					the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.   
					fig. 10 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on   
					side of power head.   
					fig. 11 Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or   
					coin.   
					The Belt   
					fig. 12 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll   
					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.   
					pulley.   
					fig. 13 Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the   
					opposite end of the belt on the brush roll pulley. Rotate the   
					brush roll three (3) complete revolutions to ensure that no part   
					of the belt is overhanging the end of the motor drive shaft.   
					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.   
					fig. 11 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of   
					the housing.   
					fig. 10 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.   
					To Adjust or Replace Brush   
					Lubrication   
					The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.   
					Further lubrication is not required.   
					WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical   
					outlet before servicing.   
					General Cleaner Care   
					fig. 14 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.   
					At least once a month, check for   
					and remove excessive lint, string or   
					hair from revolving brush.   
					fig. 15 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.   
					Wipe the outside of the cleaner with   
					a damp cloth. Also, clean the   
					fig. 16 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.   
					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.   
					fig. 17 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 a smooth side   
					on the end card. The one marked “NEW” has a notched side on the end   
					card. When rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly   
					settings are the same and face up when replacing the brush roll.   
					A little preventative maintenance will   
					keep your cleaner looking new and   
					will ensure continued cleaning effec-   
					tiveness.

					above baseplate at each end of brush.   
					If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height does   
					not extend above baseplate, a new brush assembly should be ordered.   
					WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical   
					outlet before servicing.   
					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.   
					SAVE SERVICE CALLS...CHECK THESE FIRST:   
					• Is the disposable filter dust bag full?   
					• Are pores of filter dust bag clogged with powder or fine dust?   
					® 
					Using An Oreck Fresh Air Tab   
					• Is anything clogging the revolving brush, lower tube, intake opening,   
					fan housing or connector assembly opening?   
					fig. 18 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special Oreck Fresh   
					Air® tab pocket. This pocket is located inside the outer bag in   
					the area where the disposable paper bag attaches to the intake   
					tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.   
					• Is the belt in place and turning the brush?   
					• Are the brush ends in the proper location?   
					• Does the brush turn freely? Are hair, string or rug fibers wound around   
					the brush?   
					Stuffing or Blockage   
					IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the   
					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:

					Clear obstruction.   
					Change bag.   
					fig. 22 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

					Center for repair.   
					fig. 25 Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing. Reattach   
					bag spring (fig. 21).   
					Revolving brush is   
					not even at both   
					ends.   
					Check brush roll end   
					cards. Make sure   
					words “old” or “new”   
					match at each end.   
					fig. 26 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.
