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. Do not
operate the unit while in the upright and locked position. Do not let the
unit run while in any one stationary position for any period of time. Keep
the unit moving while in operation.

4. Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other
small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the
floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent
damage to the motor suction fan and its housing.
5. WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet
surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is
dangerous to the user.
6. REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS.
7. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month—
even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause
odor, attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving
brush could damage the cord.
9.
Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.
General Information
The performance of your new cleaner greatly depends upon care and
maintenance. The instructions in this manual will guide you in
performing basic care and maintenance. To obtain the most satisfying
years of service read the instructions and keep them handy for future
reference.
Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags
Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the
efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the filter bag
is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air
to pass through. If the filter bag becomes clogged, no air can pass
through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the
cleaner’s power.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust
bag frequently.
DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE
DUST BAG.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK disposable
dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner.
Using bags other than genuine ORECK disposable bags will affect
the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
The Belt
The belt on your vacuum cleaner controls the speed of the revolving
brush and is very important for the effective operation of the cleaner. If
the belt becomes stretched or cut, it will cause the revolving brush to
stop completely or slow down. See instructions in the manual for
replacing belt.
An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner. When
buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK genuine belts. Belts
other than Oreck belts will not operate the revolving brush
correctly and may create undue stress which will cause damage to
the motor and brush bearings.
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.
