Operating Instructions
1. Open the bag housing by
pushing on the door latch.
Fold the ends of the dust
bag together and carefully
remove the bag. Dispose of
bag (fig 8).
NOTE: This machine is suitable for voltage for 120V AC / 60 Hz.
Pre Operation Checks
1. Check to ensure a dust bag is installed. Replace bag if needed.
2. Check brush area for any thread, string or debris that may be
wrapped around the brush.
2. Always install a new dust
bag directly after removing a
full one.
Vacuuming Carpet
1. Make sure the power switch 4
is in the “OFF” position.
Plug the power cord into
an electrical outlet.
3. To install the new dust bag,
push the bag onto the inlet
of the fan motor as far as it
will go. Fold the top down
so it will not interfere with the door latch.
2. Adjust the carpet height

4. Close the door ensuring that it latches properly.
Operating Recommendations
3. Turn the main power switch
on. The vacuum fan motor
will turn (fig 5).
This new ORECK XL Professional Grade Commercial Upright is one
of the finest, fastest, and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the
way it cleans, and it’s easy to use.
4. While holding the handle,
depress the yellow release
pedal and lower the handle
to a convenient operating
position. When the handle
is lowered the brush motor
will start turning (fig 6).
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:
1. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT. When
inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST PUFF
OUT and OPEN THE BAG.

2. Inspect and clean the filter at the vacuum motor inlet weekly.
3. If at any time the vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly or
makes an unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.
5. Begin vacuuming.
Remote Vacuum
Wand Cleaning
1. Keep machine in a stable
position, preferably an
upright position.
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.
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.
2. Plug in the power cord and
switch on the machine as
described in the “Upright
Carpet Vacuum Cleaning”.
6. 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, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
3. Remove the wand by
snapping it out of the
retainer clip and pulling it
from its inlet. The brush
motor will stop automatically
when the wand is removed
(fig 7).
7. Inspect brush for wear once a month. If brush strips no longer
touch the carpet, replace brush.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.

General Information
To Clean or Replace Inlet Filter
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet
before servicing.
The performance of your new vacuum 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.
1. Remove the dust bag.
10
2. Snap the filter retainer from
its fitting (fig 10).
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags
3. Remove the filter and clean
by shaking or vacuuming.
Replace the filter if worn or
not cleanable.
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. Increase the CLEANING POWER
of your vacuum cleaner by changing the bag often.
4. Replace filter in the retainer
and snap into place.
5. Replace dust bag.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the
dust bag frequently. DO NOT OVER FILL DUST BAG.
CAUTION: Do not operate the
vacuum without the inlet filter in
place.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK recommend-
ed disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the
ORECK vacuum cleaner. Using bags other than ORECK
recommended disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability
of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
To Replace Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet
before servicing.
Lubrication
1. Remove the screw holding
the brush access plate and
remove plate (fig 11).
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
11
General Vacuum Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or
hair from revolving brush.
2. Grasp the brush strip and
slide it out of the brush
extension.
Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean
the base of cleaner and housing area.
3. Replace the strip with a new
one and slide it into place.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new
and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
4. Replace the access plate
and install the screw.
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
If a previous adjustment has
already been made and bristle
height does not extend above
baseplate, a new brush
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of
cleaning. The metal strip on the base of the vacuum 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.

Thermal Overload
The internal temperature of the vacuum motor is sensed at all times.
When the temperature gets too high the sensor shuts off the vacuum
motor. Inspect the machine for any air obstruction. The sensor will
reset automatically when the sensor and electric motor have cooled
sufficiently. The motor can then be restarted
