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 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 no ribs on the
top of the assembly. The
one marked "NEW" has
several ribs. 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.
