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 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

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.

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 other than genuine ORECK Type CC disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.

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.

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 seated. 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 inside and outside

of the outer vinyl bag and

the outside of the cleaner

with a damp cloth. Also

clean the connector deflector

assembly area, base of cleaner and fan housing area. Vacuum or shake dust out of the inner bag.

A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and will ensure continued cleaning effec- tiveness.

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 time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.
