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

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.  
The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:  
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.  
3
 
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  
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.  
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.  
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, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.  
To Replace Filter Dust Bag  
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving

brush could damage the cord.  
9. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.  
BAG REMOVAL:  
fig. 5 Unzip outer bag completely.  
fig. 6 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag from connector.  
BAG INSTALLATION:  
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.

assembly. Pull up on bag collar and snap over lip "A" of  
connector.  
fig. 8 Press on edges of bag collar to insure bag is completely  
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags  
installed.  
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.  
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.  
How to Replace a Worn Belt  
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust  
bag frequently. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE  
DUST BAG.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.  
fig. 9 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.  
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.  
fig. 10 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on  
side of power head.  
fig. 11 Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or  
coin.  
The Belt  
fig. 12 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll  
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.  
pulley.  
fig. 13 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.  
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.  
fig. 11 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of  
the housing.  
fig. 10 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.  
To Adjust or Replace Brush  
Lubrication  
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.  
Further lubrication is not required.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
General Cleaner Care  
fig. 14 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.  
At least once a month, check for  
and remove excessive lint, string or  
hair from revolving brush.  
fig. 15 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.  
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.  
fig. 17 Rotate both bearing assemblies at ends of brush roll to show  
"OLD" and replace in the holding channels in the housing.  
NOTE: The bearing assembly setting marked “OLD” has a smooth side  
on the end card. The one marked “NEW” has a notched side on the end  
card. When rotating bearings, make sure both bearing assembly  
settings are the same and face up when replacing the brush roll.  
A little preventative maintenance will  
keep your cleaner looking new and  
will ensure continued cleaning effec-  
tiveness.

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.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
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.  
SAVE SERVICE CALLS...CHECK THESE FIRST:  
• Is the disposable filter dust bag full?  
• Are pores of filter dust bag clogged with powder or fine dust?  
®
Using An Oreck Fresh Air Tab  
• Is anything clogging the revolving brush, lower tube, intake opening,  
fan housing or connector assembly opening?  
fig. 18 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special Oreck Fresh  
Air® tab pocket. This pocket is located inside the outer bag in  
the area where the disposable paper bag attaches to the intake  
tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.  
• Is the belt in place and turning the brush?  
• Are the brush ends in the proper location?  
• Does the brush turn freely? Are hair, string or rug fibers wound around  
the brush?  
Stuffing or Blockage  
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:

fig. 26 Many times blockage occurs due to a full dust bag 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.
