Oreck XL7705ECB - Manual (Page 8)

fig. 33 To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged.
Replace tube by first lining up slot at base of tube with tab inside
fan housing. Insert 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. Reattach bag spring
(fig. 32).
fig. 36 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.
NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an
Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center
at:

Using an Oreck Fresh Air ® Tab
fig. 30 Your ORECK XL7 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 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
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:
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing.
fig. 31 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. 22).
fig. 32 If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook
retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag.
fig. 33 Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of
base.
fig. 34 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a
coat hanger.
fig. 35 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris with
long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
