				Operating Instructions   
					To Operate   
					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.   
					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.   
					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.   
					General Information   
					The performance of your new cleaner greatly depends upon   
					care and maintenance. The instructions in this manual will   
					guide you in performing basic care and maintenance. To   
					obtain the most satisfying years of service read the instructions   
					and keep them handy for future reference.   
					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.   
					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.   
					Lubrication   
					The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its   
					operation:   
					The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated   
					and seated. Further lubrication is not required.   
					1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—   
					FIRST PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.   
					General Cleaner Care   
					At least once a month, check   
					for and remove excessive   
					lint, string or hair from   
					revolving brush.   
					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.   
					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.   
					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   
					bag 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 cord. The   
					revolving brush could damage the cord.   
					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.   
					9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and   
					fringe.   
					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.

					channel.   
					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.   
					Remove the baseplate by

					Stuffing or Blockage   
					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.   
					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   
					NOTE: If the actions in the Stuffing or Blockage section do not   
					correct the problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center   
					A 
					B 
					Intake Opening   
					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   
					or call the customer service center.   
					US: 1-800-989-3535   
					CANADA: 1-888-676-7325   
					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.

					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
