Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.
Further lubrication is not required.
General Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for
and remove excessive lint, string or
hair from revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the cleaner with
a damp cloth. Also clean the
connector deflector assembly area,
base of cleaner and fan housing
area. If there is dust in the outer
bag, vacuum it or shake it out.
A little preventative maintenance will
keep your cleaner looking new and
will ensure continued cleaning effec-
tiveness.
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes
Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of
cleaning. The metal strip on the base of the cleaner could be damaged
if used on concrete or abrasive surfaces, and, therefore, cause damage
to wood floors, soft (vinyl, asphalt tile, etc.) floor surfaces and polished
floor finishes. The roller brush may also scuff very soft finishes.
To Replace Filter Dust Bag
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
Bag Removal:

How to Replace a Worn Belt
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 11 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.
fig. 12 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on
side of power head.
fig. 13 Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or coin.
fig. 14 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll pulley.
fig. 15 Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the
opposite end of the belt on the brush roll pulley. Rotate the
brush roll three (3) complete revolutions to ensure that no part
of the belt is overhanging the end of the motor drive shaft.
fig. 13 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of
the housing.
fig. 12 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.
To Adjust or Replace Brush
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 16 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.
fig. 17 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.
fig. 18 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.
fig. 19 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" is smooth on the
top of the assembly. The one marked
"NEW" is notched. When rotating
bearings, make sure both bearing assembly settings are the same and
face up when replacing the brush roll.
fig. 16 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.
Using An Oreck Fresh Air
®
Tab
fig. 20 Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK FRESH
AIR
®
tab pocket. This pocket is located inside the outer bag in
the area where the disposable paper bag attaches to the intake
tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.
Bulb Replacement (
For units with lights):
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 21 Remove lamp housing by removing two (2) screws in the top of
the lamp housing. Pull burned out bulb from holder and replace
with new bulb. Use only Oreck replacement parts. Replace
lamp housing by replacing two screws in the top of the lamp
housing.
Stuffing or Blockage
IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the
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 cleaner, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the cleaner is
first used on them. If your vacuum cleaner 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.
fig. 22 Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there
is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or
wire coat hanger. If you can not reach the blockage, remove
baseplate
(fig. 23).
fig. 24 If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook
retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag.
Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of
base.
fig. 25 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a
coat hanger.
fig. 26 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
fig. 27 To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged.
Vacuum will not operate properly without the tube O-ring. Slide
O-ring to approximately 2" from base of tube. Replace tube by
first lining up slot at base of tube with inner tab inside fan
housing. Then reinsert tube and push down until the tube is
seated. Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing
opening. Replace and tighten collar until collar locking tabs are
locked in place.
fig. 28 Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing. Reattach
bag spring
(fig. 24).
fig. 29 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.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an
Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center.
