The Belt
This vacuum is equipped with the Endurolife Belt, which is
designed for long life and doesn’t need changing. If the vacuum
sucks up a large obstruction, the Endurolife Belt is designed to shut
the upright down.
1. Clear any large obstruction or blockage from the vacuum.
(See Page 6, “Stuffing or Blockage”)
2. Once the blockage is cleared, plug the vacuum back in and it
will reset.
NOTE: If the vacuu
m continues to shut down, contact an Oreck
Authorized Service Center.
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, b
ase 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 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 ti
me. Keep the unit moving while in operation.
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.

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, get
s
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.
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. 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.
7. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.
8. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges & fringe.
Disposa
ble 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 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. Increase
the CLEANING
POWER of your cleaner by changing the bag often.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the
dust bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED
ON THE DUST BAG.
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.
Using bags oth
er than genuine ORECK disposable bags will affect
the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
