I have no idea how the clamp works to empty it or to close it again

It's simple, just press down on the lever. It clamps the tube. Just like a catheter bag.

Pull back on the front part of the part on top of the clamp to open. Push it down to close.

The white clamp takes a bit of getting used to. Best to use two hands, at least at first. Pull the tube out of the holder so that it's pointed down toward the toilet. Then push the center part of the clamp away from you, toward the open part of the tube. To close (which is easier), just push the clamp back inward.Addendum: I just found this "instructional video" online: http://www.advantageurinal.com/products/advantage-urinal-system/video-instruction/The video shows how to use the clamp, albeit only for a few seconds. I don't agree that one hand is all that's needed to open the clamp (at least not at first) but the video will give some idea of how it's done. Good luck!

Once you lower the unit, you would simply pull it open. I don't bother closing mine as it is used so frequently. The string would hang freely at one end. I put a hook on a nearby wall & hook the string there to make it safer as we have young children who might reach up and pull the string. I'm very pleased with this product overall.

You release the vacuum by just pressing on the side of the Check Valve that sits atop the lid. See http://youtu.be/wJbVzBciQcY

YOu simply screw it off, turning the top counterclockwise. It may have created a vacuum and thus be hard to remove. It works great--no leaking in a backpack.

It works like the other Dyson stick vacuums like the DC44. Stuff gets sucked up into a canister up by the handle. To empty, hold the canister over a trash can, garbage bag, etc, and push a little lever and the bottom of the canister pops open and the contents falls out. Sometimes I find you need to shake the canister or tap it on the side to get some of the pet fluff out.

At the bottom of the remote there is a small hole. Either you use a tooth pick or paper clip poke through the hole and it will automatically release the latch.

Just turn clip part till you get it to open enough to be tight when you clamp it shut.

Press it down manually with your finger. Press it once and it's closed, press it again and it's open.

You have to screw it in the first time you use it. Then it just clicks in to keep the hook closed.

You press once, and while holding your foot on the "peddle" put trash into the can and then release your foot. When you release your foot the lid quietly closes.

You twist the reservoir and take it off to empty it. It's a clear cup that screws right back in when you are ready to use it again.

There's an oval button on the back by where the cord is plugged in. Push that button and the bottom pops open so that you can empty the sharpener. Be sure you're holding it upside down when you push the button or the shavings will fall out all over you and whatever else is under it!

The casinster near the handle collects the dirt. There is a red release tab near the side of the canister. Just pull that back. It will open the back of the canister so that you can dump what has been collected. The opening will snap shut after emptying.

If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty. Try the following:1. pull the bin completely out 2. tap on the side of the unit (near the top) to see if you can loosen the jam, use the reverse button intermittently3. shine a flashlight up into the blades from inside the bin area to see if you can see a problem4. vacuum out the shredding blades with a crevice attachment on the vacuum hose (looking up from inside the bin area)5. tilt the unit upside down and then right side up If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty.

This is basically a hose clamp. I used a stainless steel hose clamp that wasn't so bulky and would clear.

There is a release button on the top of the canister that you press and lift the canister off the vac. Then there is another button at the bottom of the canister unit that looks just like the release button. Press it while holding it over a trash can and the content should fall out.

No it does"t, this is exactly what I suggested it needed. You have to keep the allen wrench with you all the time to open and close the clamp. Too bad they did not think of this up front. I will be modifying my unit to be spring loaded
