To Adjust or Replace Brush

5.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. See illustration F.

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

To determine if the brush is

worn, place a firm straight

edge across the nozzle

do not extend beyond

baseplate, brush should be

adjusted.

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.

Using An Oreck Fresh Air® Tab

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.

	Remove the baseplate by
	removing 5 screws. Then,
	remove the belt and brush
	roll from the housing.
	Rotate both bearing
	assemblies at ends of
	brush roll to show “old”
	and replace in the holding
	channels in the housing.
	NOTE: The bearing
OLD	assembly setting marked
	"OLD" has no ribs on the
	top of the assembly. The
	one marked "NEW" has
	several ribs. When rotating
NEW	bearings, make sure both
	bearing assembly settings
	are the same and face up
	when replacing the brush
	roll.

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.

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.
