Removal of Engine Cover

Hello all,
I want to remove the engine cover to get a better look at the engine. I also want to hose out some dirt that got in there after driving on a dirt road after some rain.
Has anyone done this? Can anyone advise me of how it is done?
Thanks.

Removal of the cover is easy.
Just grab hold of it and pull quickly upwards.
It's held by plugs/clips in three places. Front, rear and on the right as you look at the cover. Oh, and you don't need to take the dip stick out to remove the cover.
Be careful not to get water in the spark plug recesses.
