Operating Instructions

The Orbiter is the most advanced, easiest to use machine of its kind. With proper care and use, your Orbiter will last a lifetime. This booklet will tell you how to care for the Orbiter and all about its features, accessories and their use.
Your Orbiter floor machine comes completely assembled and ready to operate once the Drive Pad Holder or Brush is attached. The off/on switch has international symbols (O) OFF and ( l ) ON.
CAUTION: NEVER WORK ON THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS PLUGGED IN – ALWAYS DISCONNECT from electrical outlet. When leaving machine unattended, be sure to disconnect.

To Attach Drive Pad Holder or Brush:
Lay the floor machine on its back with the handle lying on the floor. This exposes the brush holder pan. Just place the brush or drive pad holder over the round brush holder pan making sure it is in place.
CAUTION: NEVER put the brush or pad holder on the machine by placing it on the floor and moving the running machine over it, or place the machine over the brush or pad holder and then start the motor.

To Remove Brush:
Lay machine on its back and just pull brush or pad holder off the round holder pan.

To Use Machine:
The Orbiter’s on-off switch is located on the back side of the motor housing. It has been designed to be conveniently activated. On (I) – Off(O) is printed on the switch. BE CAREFUL that the switch is in the OFF (O) position before you plug the electric cord into the outlet. Before turning machine on, be sure there is a pad or brush in place on the machine. Note – do not kick switch. Gently activate the switch with your toe. No force is necessary.

To Guide the Floor Machine:
Just grasp the unique “T” handle and glide the machine across the floor in a back and forth motion. The patented “T” handle feature gives you complete control. The Orbiter’s perfectly balanced counter-weight system gives smooth and easy action with fingertip control.
IMPORTANT – Always wear shoes when using your Orbiter. Before completing any of the following procedures for the first time, test a small hidden area.

Care of your Oreck Floor Machine:
This is a precision machine. Dropping, unreasonable bumping or rough handling may result in damage to the balance and counter-weight system. Wrap your cord loosely around the two hooks on the handle. Remove brushes after use. The bristles may be damaged due to the weight of the machine. Store your machine in the upright position. After each use, remove wax or cleaning solutions. After sanding, blow sawdust off motor and locking mechanism. Clean housing and bumper with damp cloth after each use. A little care will keep your Orbiter looking like new.

USER MAINTENANCE:
Lubrication: The Orbiter motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Periodic lubrication using silicone spray is recommended at the two pivot points from the yoke to the housing. All other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. No user serviceable parts inside.

Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

ALL OTHER SERVICING SHOULD BE DONE BY AN ORECK AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

3. Dip the mop tip ONLY into the floor finish and wring out lightly. Avoid dripping floor finish or splashing on walls.
