Oreck Graphite - Stuffing or Blockage

ENGLISH
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.
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.Removethebaseplateby
removing5screws(see“AdjustingorReplacingBrushroll”).
Iftheblockageisnotatthebase,removelowertube.Unhookbagspring,releasingbottomofbag.
Twistlowercollaranticlockwisetoslideup.Pulltubeoutofbase.
Checkforblockage.Ifblockageisinthetube,removewithacoathanger.
Iftubeisnotblocked,lookintofanhousing.Removedebriswithlong-nosepliers,ascrewdriverorcoathanger.
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.
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.
