Maintenance
Replacing the Brushroll
The brushroll is designed for long life. Should it ever become worn or frayed, it can be replaced
by an Oreck Authorized Service Center.
Replacing Edge Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
Turn the power head over. With baseplate facing up,
remove the screw located in the center of each edge
brush. Remove both edge brushes and replace with new
ones. Replace both screws and tighten.
IMPORTANT:
On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside 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 vacuum, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the vacuum is
first used on them. If your vacuum does not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the
outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open, follow these steps:
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
Stuffing or Blockage
Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or
coat hanger.
If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook
bag 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.
If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
