Locate the impeller
cover. To remove the
impeller cover, twist it
counter-clockwise. Just
before it releases, there
will be some resistance,
but keep turning the im-
peller cover gently until it
releases upwards.
Lift the impeller cover
up out of its socket.
There is a magnet in the
middle of the impeller
so there will be a slight
resistance when you pull
it upwards.
If the impeller does not
come out with the
impeller cover, use the
extraction tool
to remove the impeller.
