Introduction

This guide will provide instruction for how to safely remove the plastic outer shell of the Shark UltraCyclone CH951 vacuum. The black casing that covers the majority of the exterior of the Shark UltraCyclone is removable. It's required to remove this casing in order to replace many of the components that protected by it. The casing is resistant to being removed so this is a moderately difficult task.

Note: If there are exposed wires or any defects noticeable, proceed with caution as other issues may cause risk.
