ENGLISH 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. F Connector Deflector Opening NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an ORECK authorized service center or call the commercial customer service center. US: 1-800-989-3535 CANADA: 1-888-676-7325 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. Using An Oreck Fresh Air® Tab Your ORECK XL vacuum cleaner has a special FRESH AIR tab pocket. This pocket is located inside the outer bag in the area where the disposable paper bag attaches to the connector assembly. Insert tablet in pocket. Grounding Instructions This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance. Grounding Pin Grounded Outlet To Adjust or Replace Brush 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 base plate, 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. Rotate and match bearing assemblies NOTE: The bearing assembly setting marked "OLD" has a smooth side. 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. Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height above baseplate at each end of brush. 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. If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height does not extend above baseplate, a new brush assembly should be ordered. 7
