Hi,

Does anybody have any experience with the Shark Rocket? My daughter has one, and she managed to get a screw trapped in the motor when she was trying to do some serious cleanout.

Anyway, I got one of the covers off, but that's about it. I can't find any hidden screws or the like. The only possibility that I see is a metal piece in the handle that could be some kind of a fastener. I tried prying it out a little, but it's not coming easily, so I quit.

I could not find any online service manuals --even at Sears parts. Possibly there is no good way to take it apart, but I'm hoping that there is.

Thanks,

hj

 

What model do you have...There are a bunch of different ones..

There are even Youtube videos if you haven't looked there

 

It's an HV 301. Thanks for the youtube tip

Just cjecked out youtube -- all reviews and demos -- no serious disassembly. That's what I get on google as well.
Unfortunately, when my daughter lost the screw it managed to wedge itself iin the motor area, and the motor can't turn.

 

I don't see a hv301 but they have an HV 310

Here is a manual that has some maintenance stuff

I really appreciate the effort, but that's an owner's manual for a similar model.
There are some of those out there, but they only show how to change the 5 or 6 filters (not kidding !) that come with the darn thing.

If you're not finding it -- it's not findable

Thanks aain,

That is all I found...

I would try contacting the company and see if they have it..

They are only $150... You could save yourself a lot of aggravation buy buying a new one...

 

If it was mine, I miht do that --after prying on the part that would probably completely destroy it.

But it's my daughters, I'm just trying to help out a bit.
