The Orbiter is the most advanced, easiest to use machine of
its kind. With proper care and use, your Orbiter will last a
lifetime. This booklet will tell you how to care for the Orbiter
and all about its features, accessories and their use.
Your Orbiter floor machine comes completely assembled
and ready to operate once the Drive Pad Holder or Brush is
attached. The off/on switch has international symbols (O)
OFF and ( l ) ON.
CAUTION:
NEVER WORK ON THE MACHINE WHILE IT
IS PLUGGED IN - ALWAYS DISCONNECT from electrical
outlet. When leaving machine unattended, be sure to
disconnect.
To Attach Drive Pad Holder or Brush:
Lay the floor machine on its
back with the handle lying on
the floor. This exposes the
brush holder pan. Just place
the brush or drive pad holder
over the round brush holder
pan making sure it is in place.
CAUTION:
NEVER put the
brush or pad holder on the
machine by placing it on the floor and moving the running
machine over it, or place the machine over the brush or
pad holder and then start the motor.
To Remove Brush:
Lay machine on its back and just pull brush or pad holder
off the round holder pan.
To Use Machine:
The Orbiter's on-off switch is
located on the back side of
the motor housing. It has been
designed to be conveniently
activated. On (I) - Off(O) is
printed on the switch. BE
CAREFUL that the switch is in
the OFF (O) position before
you plug the electric cord into
the outlet. Before turning machine on, be sure there is a
pad or brush in place on the machine. Note - do not kick
switch. Gently activate the switch with your toe. No force is
necessary.
To Guide the Floor Machine:
Just grasp the unique “T” handle and glide the machine
across the floor in a back and forth motion. The patented
“T” handle feature gives you complete control. The Orbiter's
perfectly balanced counter-weight system gives smooth and
easy action with fingertip control.
IMPORTANT - Always wear shoes when using
your Orbiter. Before completing any of the
following procedures for the first time, test a
small hidden area.

Care of your Oreck Floor Machine:
This is a precision machine. Dropping, unreasonable
bumping or rough handling may result in damage to the
balance and counter-weight system. Wrap your cord
loosely around the two hooks on the handle. Remove
brushes after use. The bristles may be damaged due to the
weight of the machine. Store your machine in the upright
position. After each use, remove wax or cleaning
solutions. After sanding, blow sawdust off motor and
locking mechanism. Clean housing and bumper with damp
cloth after each use. A little care will keep your Orbiter
looking like new.
USER MAINTENANCE:
Lubrication: The Orbiter motor bearings are factory
lubricated and sealed. Periodic lubrication using a light oil
is recommended at the two pivot points from the yoke to
the housing. All other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative. No user serviceable
parts inside.
