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.
Using belts other than ORECK belts will void the warranty.
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
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.

tiveness.
