I can't for the life of me get it to open. Does anyone have like a "how to" or an owners manual? My serial number is P09236E if that helps. I want to take it apart and clean out the motor and inside. There are 2 screws underneath where the bag goes, but they are in a really awkward spot. Thanks in advance!

ProLux As with most jobs the right tool helps.There is a screwdriver with extra long shaft that allows the handle to extend beyond bag compartment.Perhaps you can buy(check auto or tool stores)or borrow(have a neighborhood mechanic you deal with?).Handle comes off first. | ||

One interesting difference (improvement, really) I noticed between the ProLux pictured and my Discovery II is the funnel-shaped collector that goes between the brush roll and the duct tube is held down to the chassis with two screws, which keeps the collector firmly in place when the cover and chassis are separated. My Discovery II has a couple of locator pins on the chassis that allow the collector to be properly positioned for assembly but don't hold it in place. When the cover is removed, the collector tends to stay with the cover instead of on the chassis. Those two little screws make things a lot easier to take apart and put back together.

Oops... I forgot to mention that you clean the surfaces with alcohol first to remove oils, dust and grime. | ||
