Assembly
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags
fig. 1 Before assembling appliance, remove two screws from
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.
connector assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling
upward.
fig. 2 With ON/OFF switch facing the front of the unit, slide
upper handle section over matching section of the
connector assembly. Insert short screw into top hole and
long screw into bottom hole then tighten firmly until
handle is no longer loose.
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.

dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner.

below clip ensuring the cord is fully rested in clip.
Operating Instructions
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.
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 handle assembly
when ready to operate.
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.
Up-Position Lock
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.
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.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.
Further lubrication is not required.

Operating Recommendations
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.
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.
A little preventative maintenance will keep
your cleaner looking new and will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.

CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
"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.
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.
fig. 16 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.
XL5: Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System
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.
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 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 bag often.
Using An Oreck Fresh Air® Tab
fig. 20 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.

fig. 7 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag dock door from
connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.
fig. 8 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.
The dust seal will close automatically.
Stuffing or Blockage
BAG INSTALLATION:
fig. 9 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.
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:

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.
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.

fig. 29 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.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an
Oreck Authorized Service Center or call the customer service center
