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.
NOTE
: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact
an ORECK authorized service center or call the commercial
customer service center.

5. 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.
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.
Remove the baseplate by
removing 5 screws. Then,
remove the belt and brush
roll from the housing.
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 two notches
(
l l
) on the top of the
assembly. The one
marked “NEW” has one
notch (
l
). When
rotating bearings, make
sure both bearing
assembly settings are the
same and face up when
replacing the brush roll.
Reassemble the belt and
the baseplate and check
bristle height 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.
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.

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. Make sure the
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration
