Yamaha G50iii 1-12 Guitar Amp - Does anyone have the manual and service manual schematics? Also, how can you remove the top handle to clean it?

I recently got a 1985 Yamaha G50iii 1-2 guitar amp, and it sounds great! Other than being very dusty, it is almost like new.

Does anyone have a copy of the user manual or service manual (schematics)?

Also, does anyone know how to remove these black covers from the handle?

I want to remove the handle so I can scrub dust off of the vinyl really well.

I found a picture of some else's amp (the last picture), which has the black covers removed. Under the black covers, there are silver covers which have a screw holding them to the cabinet.
