Operating Instructions
To Operate
Make sure the 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. Choose from the
low and high speed settings by pressing the ON/LOW (l)
ON/HIGH (ll) - OFF (O) switch on handle assembly when
ready to operate.

Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed
properly.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK
disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the
ORECK cleaner and using bags other than genuine ORECK
disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner
and could cause damage to it.

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.

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.

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.

An extra belt is stored in the base plate 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.

The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its
operation:

Lubrication
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.
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.
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.

General Cleaner Care

At least once a month, check for and remove excessive
lint, string or hair from revolving brush.
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.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner
looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
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

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. Increase the CLEANING POWER of your cleaner by
changing the bag often.

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.
Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System
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 that 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. For
best results, the CELOC SMMS outer bag should be replaced
once a year. 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

To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency,
change the dust bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE
LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.

How to Replace a Worn Belt

To Adjust or Replace Brush

WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.

WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.

Remove the replacement
belt from the storage
channel.

To determine if the brush is
worn, place a firm straight
edge across the nozzle
opening. If brush bristles
do not extend beyond
base plate, brush should
be adjusted.

Remove the door by
removing the hold down
screw located on side of
power head.

Remove the base plate by
removing 5 screws. Then,
remove the belt and brush
roll from the housing.

Slide the door forward
by prying open with a
screwdriver or coin.

Rotate both bearing assemblies at ends of brush roll
to show “old” and replace
in the holding channels in
the housing.

Remove the belt from the
brush roll pulley and the
motor drive shaft.

Rotate and match
bearing assemblies

Loop the new belt over
the motor drive shaft.
Place the opposite end of
the belt on the top of the
brush pulley and roll the
belt around the pulley.

NOTE: The bearing
assembly setting marked
“OLD” has two bars ( l l )
on the top of the assembly.
The one marked “NEW”
has one bar ( l ). When
rotating bearings, make
sure both bearing
assembly settings are the
same and face up when
replacing the brush roll.
Reassemble the belt and
the base plate and check
bristle height above base
plate at each end of
brush.

Using your thumb and
finger, rotate the belt on
the pulley, ensuring that
the belt encircles the
entire circumference of
the pulley.

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.

Replace the door by
sliding it into the groove
at the bottom of the
housing. Replace the
hold down screw.

6

If a previous adjustment
has already been made
and bristle height does not
extend above base plate,
a new brush assembly
should be ordered.

4. 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. See
illustration E. Make sure
collar is not cross threaded
on housing.
5. 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. See illustration F.

Bulb Replacement
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
• Remove lamp housing
by removing two (2)
screws in the 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.

Stuffing or Blockage
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:

1. Check for blockage at the
mouth of the intake
opening. See illustration A.
If there is blockage, remove
it with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
If you can not reach the
blockage, remove base
plate. See illustration B.
2. If the blockage is not at the
base, remove lower tube.
See illustration C. Unhook
retainer spring, releasing
bottom of bag. Twist lower
collar counter clockwise to
slide up. Pull tube out of
base. Check for blockage.
If blockage is in the tube,
remove with a coat hanger.
3. If tube is not blocked, look
into fan housing. See
illustration D. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.

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.

Using A Fresh Air™ Tab
Your ORECK XL vacuum
cleaner has a special
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.
