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.

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.
3
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.

brush could damage the cord.

BAG REMOVAL:

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

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.

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:

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.
