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.
