General Information
The performance of your new vacuum 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 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. Increase the CLEANING POWER
of your vacuum cleaner by changing the bag often.
To keep your cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the
dust bag frequently.
DO NOT OVER FILL DUST BAG.
Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.
All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK recommend-
ed disposable dust bags have been designed to be used with the
ORECK vacuum cleaner. Using bags other than ORECK
recommended disposable bags will affect the cleaning ability
of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.
Lubrication
The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Further lubrication is not required.
General Vacuum Cleaner Care
At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or
hair from revolving brush.
Wipe the outside of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean
the base of cleaner and housing area.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new
and will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
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 vacuum 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.
Electronic Brush Alert
The vacuum cleaner is equipped
with an electronic power brush
alert: two lights - GREEN and
RED
(fig 9).
Green Light - Lower brush
unit operating properly.
Green Light and
Blinking Red Light - Brush
drive belt out or broken.
Red Light - Brush rotation
obstructed. Refer to
Troubleshooting section.
These lights alert the operator of problems which must be corrected
immediately. Monitor these lights during operation.
T hermal Overload
The internal temperature of the vacuum motor is sensed at all times.
When the temperature gets too high the sensor shuts off the vacuum
motor. Inspect the machine for any air obstruction. The sensor will
reset automatically when the sensor and electric motor have cooled
sufficiently. The motor can then be restarted
.
