Step 5

Separate the bin from the main body of the device.

Step 6

Locate two visible white clips between the main body and the cyclone.

Step 7

Use tweezers to pinch the white clips together.
Widely hold the tweezers apart to get them to reach between the two white clips.
Because the space is tight between the cyclone and the main body, pinching the white clips may require additional effort.

You can use spudgers to push the individual white tabs inward. Or, put the unit upside down and use two spudgers to push them inward.

The cyclone will pop out but will require some pulling to clear the main body. There are no wires.

Step 8

Tilt and pull the main body away from the cyclone.
There may be a loud snap when the main body separates from the cyclone.

Do you have any idea how to disassemble the main body (aside from removing the battery pack)? I accidentally waterlogged it and wanted to check for water damage

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

The motorhead does not rotate or only works irregularly?

There are two little metal tabs sitting above the lever of the bin and are meant to make electrical contact to the wires running around the bin and down the wand to the motorhead to power the rotating brush. Those metal-tabs tend to get bend and/or their ends might have become dislocated out of their brackets.

Thanks for Your guide!!! It helped me to remove the Main Body from the Cyclone properly and get those metal-tabs back in place.
