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. Press the ON(l) OFF(O) switch on handle assembly when ready 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.

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.

Antibacterial Technology
Oreck added Antibacterial Technology to various touch
points, including the handle, outer bag and bag dock while
manufacturing this upright vacuum cleaner in order to
provide you with antimicrobial protection that continuously
fights the growth of microbes that can cause stains, odor and
product degradation. When microbes, such as bacteria,
mold and mildew come in contact with the product surface,
the antibacterial technology penetrates the cell wall and
disrupts key functions so they cannon grow or reproduce.

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 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.

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.
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.
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and
fringe.

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.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated
and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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
baseplate, brush should be
adjusted.

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

Remove the baseplate 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 brush roll
pulley.

NOTE: The bearing
assembly setting marked
“OLD” has a smooth side.
The one marked “NEW”
has notches. 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 baseplate and check
bristle height above
baseplate at each end of
brush.

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.

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 baseplate, a
new brush assembly
should be ordered.

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.

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
baseplate. 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 counterclockwise 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.
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.

NOTE: If the “Stuffing or Blockage” actions do not correct the
problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center or call the
customer service center at: 0845 603 0153.
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 An Oreck Fresh Air Tab
®

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.
