Maintenance and Customer Service  
Your Oreck vacuum cleaner is a product of precise engineering. The  
motor bearings are permanently lubricated and should not be oiled. If  
you require additional information or have problems with your Oreck  
appliance, you may call ORECK customer service at:  
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is  
necessary when used by or near children.  
US: 1-800-989-3535 Canada: 1-888-676-7325  
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only  
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.  
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not

outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service  
center or call customer service at: US: 1-800-989-3535  
Canada: 1-888-676-7325  
Please specify the model number and serial/code number which can be  
found on the data plate on the back of the vacuum.  
Save your sales or purchase slip. Should your Oreck appliance require  
warranty service in the U.S.A., present this slip to the Authorized Service  
Center as your proof of purchase date or, in Canada, call customer  
service.  
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close  
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.  
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.  
Polarized Plug Notice  
• Do not run appliance over cord.  
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug  
should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug.  
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the  
plug, not the cord.  
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.  
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any  
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything  
that may reduce air flow.  
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body  
away from openings and moving parts.  
• Do not use to pick up anything that is burning or smoking,  
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.  
• Do not use without filter bag assembly in place.  
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.  
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.  
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids,  
such as gasoline or lighter fluid, or use in areas where  
they may be present.  
• Do not use appliance in an enclosed space where  
flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given off by oil  
base paint, paint thinner, some mothproofing substances,  
or in an area where flammable dust is present.  
• Do not pick up toxic material such as chlorine bleach,  
drain cleaner, gasoline, etc. with this appliance.  
• Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and

Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags

8
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.

Assembly  
fig. 1 Before assembling appliance, remove two screws from the  
connector assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling  
upward.  
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust  
bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE  
DUST BAG.  
fig. 2 Slide upper handle section over the matching section of the  
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.  
connector assembly. Insert short screw into top hole and long  
screw into the bottom hole then tighten firmly until handle is no  
longer loose.  
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.  
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 top of base  
when ready to operate.  
Up-Position Lock  
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.  
fig. 3 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  
For Easy Power Cord Storage  
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.  
Further lubrication is not required.  
fig. 4 Wrap power cord around cord hook on handle and cord hook on  
connector. Secure to "U" shaped part on plug.  
General Cleaner Care  
Operating Recommendations  
At least once a month, check for  
and remove excessive lint, string or  
hair from revolving brush.  
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.  
Wipe the outside of the cleaner with  
a damp cloth. Also clean the  
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:  
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.  
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.  
A little preventative maintenance  
will keep your cleaner looking new  
and will ensure continued cleaning  
effectiveness.  
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.

CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor  
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes  
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.  
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.  
®
Using An Oreck Fresh Air Tab  
fig. 19 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.  
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. 5 Unzip outer bag completely.  
fig. 6 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag dock door from  
connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.  
fig. 7 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.

with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.  
fig. 13 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll pulley.  
fig. 23 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.  
fig. 14 Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the  
opposite end of the belt on the brush roll pulley. Rotate the  
brush roll three (3) complete revolutions to ensure that no part  
of the belt is overhanging the end of the motor drive shaft.  
fig. 12 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of  
the housing.

rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the  
same and face up when replacing the brush roll.  
fig. 15 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.
