I just received it and I am unable to get the top off. I own a 304B, but on this one the "cam handles" disjoint before lifting the top. Ideas?

Oh goodness...I wish I could help. My husband got the top off with no problems. I was not watching him when he did it. But it does come off. Wish I could have been more help. It seems to be a very good filter, have had no problems at all.

You are suppose to unlock it first then lift up the other two handles. Once you lift it up the lid will pop up by itself.

There is two different types of locks. One goes down with the auction and the other ones are the clamp locks unlock those first

I would lock it back up and try the side handles first slowly then the top ones. I would also make sure the top hose switch is disconnected.

Two handles unhook the clamps that push down on the lid. Remove those first. The second two handles lift upward. It will be snug, but keep lifting those handles until the lid comes off. Then lube the O ring with silicone grease or Vaseline so that it will be easier next time.

I'm really not sure how your filter is made, but I do know that on what instructions I fid have it told me to only lift two handles but I had to actually lift them all and the lift the top up. I hope this helps.

There is 4 latches that you have to lift and push down then pull the top off

We had the same issue, but the top section didn't come all the way out. It stopped just past the "stop here" line (okay, it was our fault). You could not twist it to lock or unlock it, nor pull it in or out - it was just plane stuck. My wife and I finally got at each end and pulled as hard as we could. The top part popped off and we were able to then put it back together. We have been very careful ever since to not let that happen again. We now like these poles!

That's odd. Mine comes off almost too easily! I just lift it off the top. Sounds like you got a fit that's not within specs!

I have the same problem as the others here. I have to use a still-son wrench to get mine off. I have applied pool lubricate to the lid but it has not helped. It would be interesting to have the manufacture respond to this problem on this forum. How about it Amazon?

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

I had the same issue. I ended up buying a parts KP1010 and replaced the top. I was lucky that the parts KP1010 had good parts. I had to do this twice.

No sir. You might just have to contact blue, and see if they can take it back and/ or send you a new one. It could also be the way you are putting it into the shock mount, it kinda has to go in a perfect way, if not it won't go in like it is supposed to

I didn't have any problem, but as I took it apart I laid it out in the same order that I took it apart. Then put the new one back the same way. I also took a photo with my camera before I started. The new part works great. The repair shop was going to charge me $60 to replace my part. Glad I did it myself. Good Luck. Ray

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

I had no issues with mine. If it got put on a little cock-eyed and the threads aren't lined up right, it could seem stuck. I wish I could help. Maybe a local camera store could give you more help without ruining your threads. Good luck.

I would try and take the screws back out and that move the handle bars around a bit and put them back in , i had a similiar problem and thats all there was to it..Im not sure if you have tried this but im just suggesting it..Deb :)

I took it to a Hitachi service guy. Basically he took it all apart and forced it on. There must be an easier way.So I would appreciate how to do it.ThanksRCR

My guess is that you cranked it up to high. Try stopping before you reach the very top and then backing the crank off, as it advises in the instructions.

redo it again, start off at a different position when you start to screw it on, it should fit exactly on there. are you using the crusher nut too? there are a few youtube vids on it too broski

To clarify asking with the other answer.. When you grab front and back and lift straight up it comes right off. Of I grab the front and only lift that, it feels like it is clipped and I have a hell of a time getting it off.

Mine doesn't have any button on "top". But the back side has a different texture and never thought of it as a 'button'. This Cam has never worked on my computer. I pushed Really Hard on the back of it and it actually works now. Thanks for help Me, too!
