Oreck Clear Furniture Guard...

Product details
A clear furniture guard for the Oreck 2200, part 430000945. It runs along the front edge of the nozzle, the part of the machine most likely to meet a chair leg, a baseboard, or the side of a cabinet while you work a room. Parts indexes describe this number as a clear rubber guard rather than a rigid plastic one.
Being clear rather than colored is the point: it does its job without covering up the machine's own finish or the wheels underneath it. A rubber guard wears differently from a hard plastic trim piece. Rather than snapping, it hardens and loses its give over the years, picks up scuffs and embedded grit, and eventually tears or works loose at a mounting point. Once it is gone or torn back, the harder edge underneath makes contact with furniture and baseboards instead, and that is what leaves the marks the guard was there to prevent.
It is a fitted piece rather than anything needing adjustment, so replacing it is a matter of matching the part to your machine rather than any real install work. Check it periodically even when nothing has failed outright, since a clear guard that has gone cloudy or yellowed is harder to inspect until a section is already missing. Running a finger along the edge facing the room is a quick test: a rough or ragged feel where it should be smooth means the material has started to go. Confirm the part against your machine's diagram before ordering, since Oreck used more than one guard across its upright range.
