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.  
Before assembling appliance,  
remove two screws from the  
connector assembly. Remove  
cardboard insert by pulling  
upward.

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.  
To Replace Filter  
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.

How to Replace a Worn Belt

that happens, the blockage  
will be at the top of the

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  
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.  
Rotate both bearing  
assemblies at ends of  
brush roll to show “old”  
and replace in the holding  
channels in the housing.

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”  
should be ordered.  
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.  
position. When  
rotating, both  
bearings must be in  
the “old” position.  
Unmatched settings  
will cause damage  
to your machine.
