Just pull it out. Make sure that u removed all tapes that the brush might have been secured with.

Presuming you mean in daily use, pulling straight up snaps the lid open leaving open to drop back in. Mine is in daily use and very effective

On the backside are two small holes, and a "tool" is delivered with the unit. It is a slip of plastic, with two pins to fit in the holes.You just have to twist the lid to open it, the trick is to get hold on that thing.

The standard Kreepy hose fits over each end of the canister. As I recall, I used a section of hose from my previous "non-generic" Kreepy K because it was a little more flexible than the generic Kreepy hose. To open the lid, first unscrew the top. If it has water in it, it's best to drain the water out so you don't have a lot of suction inside the canister. Then, grip the hard plastic piece of the lid that inserts into the hose and bend it down so as to allow one side of the cap (with the rubber gasket) to come out of the canister first. You have to work it in such a way as to get one side out first. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple, but the rubber ring gasket around the lid seals very tight and it isn't all that easy to get the lid off.

There is a flap on the top near the front. You just snap it open, fill it, and snap it closed. Couldn't be easier.

I had the same problem..it took a while to figure it out. Put your palms around the wide part of the bottle with your thumbs up against the metal on the opposite side from the 1/2 circle of metal. Push your thumbs toward the half circle...it will pop open.

Are you pushing down on the grey button on top of the vacuume cleaner beside the handle? You have to push the button down, then pull the canister out. The top fits more snug than the last one I had. I have to hold the canister between my knees, then turn the top and pull it up. I'm hoping it will get easier the more times I do it! Hope this information is helpful :0)

You have to gently pry it open using a fingernail or similar small object. Here's a picture of the opened enclosure: http://d.pr/i/fNMS

Once the clips are undone, it should be a hand twist. Keep a bucket underneath, because a bit of water will spill when the canister is opened.

There is a key in the box it is black plastic with 2 tabs on it put it into the holes on the back of the unit and turn till it opens. You may need to pry it with your fingernail.

The best way I have found to open these containers is to pinch the tab attached and pull directly up. If that doesn't work, I push the small connecting tabs down with one half of a tweezers or a sharp knife, then pull up on the tab.

You simply pry it open with a fingernail. There is a small gap on the bottom of the unit that allows your nail to get between the top and bottom sections of the outer shell.

That's funny because I had the same question! I tried and tried but could not figure out how to get the darn thing open!!!

There is a button in the slot where the usb adapter is. Press it and the top portion of the lid opens up.

I can open it easily with my fingernail. You may need to push the right point to open it.

Push the button on top and remove the lid. You should be able to pull the collector right up out of there.

Squeeze the lid down, then press the button, it should open easier after that.
