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.
Before assembling appliance,
remove two screws from the
connector assembly. Remove

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
filter can cause odor, attract moisture, act as a breeding
area and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The
revolving brush could damage the cord.

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
filter bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous
enough to allow air to pass through. If the filter bag becomes
clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and cleaning
cannot take place, regardless of the cleaner’s power.
Attach cord to cord clip by
pressing cord above and below
clip ensuring the cord is fully
rested in clip.

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 disposable bags
will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause
damage to it.

Dust Bag
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
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.
BAG INSTALLATION:
1. Hook bottom of bag collar
opening under lip “B” of
connector assembly. Pull up
on bag collar and snap over
lip “A” of connector.
A
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.
B
2. Press on edges of bag collar
to insure bag is completely
installed.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for and
remove excessive lint, string or hair
from the revolving brush.
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.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking
new and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
IMPORTANT: Check to
make sure bag collar is
behind lips “A” and “B”. If it
is not, dust will leak into
outer bag. When filter bag is
in place, close outer bag
with zipper fastener.
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.

WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
To determine if the brush is
worn, place a firm straight
edge across the nozzle
opening. If brush bristles
do not extend beyond
baseplate, brush should be
adjusted.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact
an ORECK authorized service center or call the commercial
customer service center.

Remove the baseplate by
removing 5 screws. Then,
remove the belt and brush
roll from the housing.
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.

Grounding Instructions
Reassemble the belt and
the baseplate and check
bristle height above
baseplate at each end of
brush.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance
for electrical current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord
for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If a previous adjustment
has already been made
and bristle height does not
extend above baseplate, a
new brush assembly
IMPORTANT: Unless
the brush is worn,
as indicated above,
both bearings must
be in the “new”

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a
grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
