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:

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

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 illus- tration 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 actions in the Stuffing or Blockage section do not correct the problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center or call the customer service center. US: 1-800-989-3535

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.
