Features of the Edge

1. Electronic Motor Speed Control

2. Electronic Motor Stop – If the fan jams the motor will stop which save both the

motor and the belt.

3. Mechanical nozzle lift prevents brushroll contact with the floor surface when

the unit is in the accessory hose mode or locked upright and left running.

4. Electronic Suction Path Valve Control - When the hose is attached and the unit

is upright and locked, the suction path is through the hose. When the unit is

moved from the upright and locked position to the normal use position, the

suction path automatically changes to through the power nozzle. If the hose isn’t

installed then the path stays through the nozzle no matter the position of the unit.

Electrical

1. The fuse on the logic board is for fire safety, not to protect the board.

2. If the motor current increases and the fuse doesn’t blow, then the chip will

shutdown the motor.

3. If left plugged in the unit will return to the speed in use when it was turned off. If

unplugged then the speed will rev up to full speed.

4. On the power supply board the resistor marked ☼will blow if the board goes bad.

5. If the LEDs are On but the unit doesn’t function, turn Off, unplug, wait 30 seconds

and plug it back in. Turn it On and the unit should work.

Tune-Up

1. Evaluate

a. Cord assembly and harness condition

i. Jacket free of holes especially at the entrance to the handle

grip or nozzle housing

ii. Plug blades secure and straight

b. Cord dump function

i. Holds in place while winding the cord

c. Housing condition

i. Tells a lot about how the unit was treated by the user

ii. Fascia fixed in place

d. Base/Sole plate assembly condition

i. Normal wear

ii. Edge brush condition

iii. Microsweep condition

iv. Rear wheel condition & function

v. Front wheel condition & function

e. Bumper condition

f. Outer bag condition

g. Inner bag dock condition & function

h. Dirt tube condition

i. Collar condition

j. Handle condition

k. Switch condition & function

l. Motor condition & function

m. Brushroll condition & function

n. Belt condition & function

o. Light cover condition & light function

p. Yoke condition & function

q. Pivot detent

r. Accessory valve condition & function

s. Height adjuster condition & function

2. Clean

a. Check for clogging at the inlet of the pivot.

b. Check the fan and fan housing for foreign objects.

c. Clean the components:

i. WD40 to remove marks from cords and bumpers

ii. Oreck Glass & Mirror Cleaner

iii. Oreck Hospital Clean (Liquid only, not the aerosol)

iv. Steam cleaning is an effective method of cleaning.

v. Use soap (Joy, Ivory, Dawn) and water as the primary

cleaning ingredients.

vi. Do not use Citrus-based cleaners (orange oil). They will

cause most plastic to become brittle.

3. Replace

a. Inner filter bag

4. Only when necessary - Low Power/Sparks - Commutator Polish

a. It is not necessary to polish all commutators. Commutators in

pictures 1 & 2 have a gray film. This is graphite from the brushes

and desirable since it acts as a lubricant. Picture 3 shows heat and

4 uneven wear. These two should be polished.

1 2 3 4

b. Hazardous conditions will exist during this step:

i. Wear safety glasses, remove jewelry from hands, wrists and

neck (if dangling). Secure loose clothing and long hair.

c. Another way to determine if polishing is necessary is to observe the

arcing characteristics of the function while in operation.

d. Maximum Acceptable Arc – Continuous no greater than 1/16”

e. Commutators producing more than the maximum acceptable arc

should be polished. Brushes may have to be changed.

f. Hazardous conditions will exist during this step:

i. Exposure to spinning components: brushroll, motor, belt,

fan and exhaust debris.

ii. Wear safety glasses and remove jewelry from hands, wrists

and neck (if dangling). Secure loose clothing and long hair.

iii. Exposure to lethal amperage: Keep hands away from

terminals, wires and motor components

g. Lightly touch the commutator with the commutator cleaner.

Burnishing will happen quickly.

h. Turn the commutator cleaner over and do the same for the belt

drive shaft.

i. Turn the unit off and unplug from outlet.

5. Wheels Grinding/Rattling/Worn - Rear Wheel Service

a. Remove hubcap – Insert flathead screwdriver blade into one of the

3 slots on the back of the wheel hub. Place the blade as shown in

picture 1 and twist until hub tab has unhooked from the wheel hub

picture 2, then push down.

b. Remove wheel – Remove E clip and washer

Washer E clip

c. Remove Axle – Remove 2 screws from the cord over-mold and the

yoke cover (Picture 1). Slide out the axle (Picture 2).

Part Replacement/Disassembly

(Reverse to Reassemble)

1. Sole Plate

a. Extract 6 screws (#2 Phillips)

b. Remove Edge Brush – Find the round tab (Circled). With a

punch and hammer knock out the edge brush

c. The edge brushes are marked left L and right R. Line up the tab

with the sole plate hole and snap in place

2. Lens/Fascia/Top Cover

a. To remove the fascia the lens must be removed and two screws

extracted. Pry the lens away at one end, bend it out so the end

tab pops free (Picture) and do the same with the tabs along its

length.

b. Extract the two screws indicated, slide the fascia forward and

set aside.

c. To remove the top cover extract two screws indicated and lift it

off.

3. Brushroll – Requires 1,2 & 4

a. Service the brushroll

b. Install – The end caps must be oriented as shown or the belt

won’t track correctly.

4. Belt – Requires Steps 1, 2 & 3

a. Fit the belt to the brushroll pulley. Fit the brushroll/belt assembly

to the base. Feed the belt through the slot (Picture 1). Use a

3/8” or 10mm socket or nut driver (Picture 2) to capture the

motor shaft (Picture 3) and pivot the belt on to it (Picture 4), this

will require that the belt be encouraged onto the motor shaft. Be

sure the belt is centered and fully seated (Picture 5). If the short

socket doesn’t work for you try a deep socket (Picture 6 top) or

a hollow shaft 7/16” nut driver with the head cut off (Picture 6

bottom & Picture 7). Make sure the belt is seated in the brushroll

pulley
