Can you remove the clear plastic cover on top?

No, it is just like the original one that comes with the unit when you purchase it. You have to soak it in a solution to clean the inside when it becomes dirty.

Not that I am aware of. This is a single piece either glue or sealed at the seams. The clear plastic cover allow the suction to pick up the water from the carpet.

I have never tried to remove it. To clean it I put water and bleach in my laundry sink and sucks it up, it shines like a new penny after that. Hope this helps.

push down to remove cover and slide it off. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Yes the plastic cover should come off, it could trap too much heat and melt or be a fire hazard.

Yes you do have to remove it, but its a simple pop out & then replace. Really nice covers

Can one remove the clear plastic piece that is over the blue "stem" part? Thanks :)

No you don't have to remove it as long as the new cover is a flip wallet cover.If it isn't it will be up to you if you want to remove it or not.

Yes - no problem. I recommend using a simple paint can opener to pop the molded plastic covers off. see the video on Youtube.

For some years, with the HM1865 I had, I was able to carefully pry the slotted fan cover off around its edges with a dull, thin blade from a butter-type table knife.(Not a sharp knife!) It snaps back on easily. You can clean the top of the plastic blades that way, and reach most of the bottoms, carefully and without bending anything. Clean inside the filter cover as well, from the bottom, when you remove it from the unit.

The one I have, the cover is not removable. Though if it was I'm sure getting it off would be easy...however putting it back on would be impossible. It is really snug.

The top cover is not removable the tool is to remove the screw caps on the top. The tool is a multipurpose tool than can be used to open bucket lids as well.

I agree with the advice that Sharon offered. If its just the plastic cover, use it without it. If for some reason you can not, buy a new one. New is more fun. Good luck Gerry

Yes, there is a plastic tab at the bottom (that should have been protuding a little bit) that you have to remove.

I think you could easily remove it by prying gently around the corners until the adhesive loosens. Try using your fingernail. I wouldn't try sliding something under the entire cover, but just try to break the seal of the adhesive, and then you might even be able to slide it off. I removed mine once, when I applied it off-center and wanted to move it. I had no trouble doing that. Good luck!

No, I don't see any way the see through plastic can be be removed. Hope the answer helps.

It does not seem so. I don't think the plastic protector can be removed without destroying the case entirely.

sorry haven't tried to remove it. I would think from putting it up it wouldn't be too hard, but not sure. Sorry

No, the hard top must be removed, but there is just a few screws and is easy to remove. The enclosure is worth removing the top.
