General Information  
Assembly  
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.  
fig. 1 Before assembling appliance, remove two screws from connector  
assembly. Remove cardboard insert by pulling upward.  
fig. 2 With ON/OFF switch facing the front of the unit, slide upper  
handle section over matching section of the connector assembly.  
Hold tab of cord strain relief flush with TOP hole in connector  
assembly. Insert screw through hole in tab of cord strain relief  
and firmly tighten to connector assembly. Insert remaining screw  
in botom hole of connector assembly and tighten firmly.  
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 paper  
bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to  
allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can  
pass through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of  
the cleaner’s power.  
NOTE: The power cord comes installed in the cord strain relief.  
Should the power cord come loose, simply pinch the power cord  
together and slide approximately 1 - 2 inches through hole in  
cord strain relief. Carefully slide power cord over clamp on the  
the cord strain relief and pull excess until the power cord is  
tightly rested under clamp.  
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.  
fig. 3 Attach cord to cord clip by pressing cord above and below clip  
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 TYPE CC disposable bags  
will affect the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause  
damage to it.  
ensuring the cord is fully rested in clip.  
Operating Instructions  
The Belt  
Make sure disposable paper filter dust bag is in place. DO NOT operate  
the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag. Plug the power cord into an  
electrical outlet and press the ON (l) - OFF(O) switch on Helping Hand®  
when ready to operate.  
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.  
Up-Position Lock  
fig. 4 Place foot on power head and lean handle back gently to release  
lock for vacuum use. Return handle to the full upright position to  
engage lock.  
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. Using belts other than ORECK belts  
will void the warranty.  
NOTE: 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.  
Lubrication  
For Easy Power Cord Storage

and cord hook on connector.

General Cleaner Care  
To Adjust or Replace Brush  
At least once a month, check for and  
remove excessive lint, string or hair  
from revolving brush.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
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.  
fig. 17 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. 18 Remove the baseplate by removing 5 screws.  
fig. 19 Remove the belt and brush roll from the housing.  
fig. 20 Rotate both bearing assemblies at ends of brush roll to show  
A little preventative maintenance will  
keep your cleaner looking new and  
will ensure continued cleaning effec-  
tiveness.  
"OLD" and replace in the holding channels in the housing.  
NOTE: The bearing assembly setting marked "OLD" has a smooth  
side. The one marked "NEW" has notches. When rotating bearings,  
make sure both bearing assembly settings are the same and face up  
when replacing the brush roll.  
CAUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor  
Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes  
fig. 17 Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height  
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.  
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.  
Celoc® Hypo-Allergenic Filter System  
The Celoc SMMS outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high filtration  
medical material designed to filter the smallest of dust particles. It is  
important that the inside of the outer bag be cleaned. Vacuum the inside  
of the outer bag or hand wash, turned inside out, with warm water, and  
air dry. For best results, the Celoc SMMS outer bag should be replaced  
once a year. The Celoc layered disposable inner dust bag must be  
replaced once a month even if it is not full. Change it more often if it is  
used in extremely dirty areas. Increase the cleaning power of your  
vacuum by changing the bag often.  
Using An Oreck Fresh Air® Tab  
fig. 21 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 filter bag attaches  
to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.  
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:  
To Replace Filter Dust Bag  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
BAG REMOVAL:  
fig. 7 Unzip outer bag completely.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
fig. 8 Pull bag cardboard collar to release bag dock door from  
connector. Bag dock door will hinge downward.  
fig. 9 Gently pull bag cardboard collar upward out of the bag dock.  
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  
coat hanger. If you can not reach the blockage, remove  
baseplate (fig. 23).  
Dust seal will close automatically.  
BAG INSTALLATION:  
fig. 10 Slide the cardboard collar completely onto bag dock door.  
fig. 24 If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook

until snap is heard.  
fig. 25 Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of  
base.  
How to Replace a Worn Belt  
fig. 26 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a  
coat hanger.  
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical  
outlet before servicing.  
fig. 27 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris  
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.  
fig. 12 Remove the replacement belt from the storage channel.  
fig. 25 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. 13 Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on  
side of power head.  
fig. 14 Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or  
coin.  
fig. 15 Remove the belt from the motor drive shaft and brush roll  
pulley.  
fig. 16 Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the  
opposite end of the belt on the brush 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. 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.  
fig. 14 Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of  
the housing.  
fig. 13 Replace the hold down screw and tighten.  
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an  
Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center.
