Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags  
15  
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.

assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling upward.  
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. 2 With On/Off switch facing the front of the unit, slide upper handle  
section over matching section of the connector assembly. Hold  
handle brace againist upper handle and align screw holes. Insert  
short screw into top hole and long screw into bottom hole then  
tighten firmly until handle is no longer loose.  
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.  
fig. 3 Attach cord to cord clip by pressing cord above and below clip  
ensuring the cord is fully rested in clip.  
Operating Instructions  
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.  
Make sure 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 and press the On (l) - OFF(O) switch on Helping Handle  
Assembly when ready to operate.  
Up-Position Lock  
Lubrication  
fig. 4 Place foot on power head and lean handle back gently to release  
lock for vacuum use. Return handle to the full upright position to  
engage lock.  
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.  
Further lubrication is not required.  
General Cleaner Care  
NOTE: 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.  
At least once a month, check for and remove  
excessive lint, string or hair from revolving  
brush.  
For Easy Power Cord Storage  
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.  
fig. 5 Wrap power cord around cord dump on Helping Hand® handle  
and cord hook on connector.  
fig. 6 To release cord, twist cord dump located on Helping Hand®  
handle 1/2 turn. Slide cord off handle.  
A little preventative maintenance will keep your  
cleaner looking new and will ensure continued  
cleaning effectiveness.  
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.  
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor  
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes  
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:  
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.  
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.

To Replace Filter Dust Bag  
Stuffing or Blockage  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
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:  
BAG REMOVAL:  
fig. 7 Unzip outer bag completely.  
fig. 8 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag from connector. Bag  
dock door will hinge downward.  
fig. 9 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
The dust seal will close automatically.  
BAG INSTALLATION:  
fig. 10 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.  
fig. 22 Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there  
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or  
coat hanger. If you can not reach the blockage, remove  
baseplate. (fig. 23)

To Adjust or Replace Brush  
Warning  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
This Oreck is very powerful and may pick up items which your old  
cleaner did not. Please be careful to clean the floor of larger items  
which your old cleaner passed over eg. pencils, small toys. These  
will block your machine.  
fig. 17 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.  
fig. 18 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.  
fig. 19 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.  
fig. 20 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 no ribs on the  
top of the assembly. The one marked "NEW" has several ribs. When  
rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the  
same and face up when replacing the brush roll.  
fig. 17 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height  
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.  
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.  
Using An Oreck Fresh Air® Tab  
fig. 21 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK 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 if desired.
