How do you attach the handle? The screw does not go in far enough (the knob prevents that?) and there is no nut. So frustrating!

Just like Justin said, only thing I might add is just make sure the insert is in the right position and the handle is between the 2 arrows on the upper shaft (toward the engine). Hope this helps.

I used a pair of channel lock pliers to squeeze it closer so the bolt threads into the handle

I had the same problem. The nut is an inset nut on the newer models (the manual diagram hasn't been updated to indicate as such); if you push up on the inset nut from the bottom while screwing in the bolt, it will engage the threads. Good luck!

loosing the screw that hold the unit to the flange. Pull it right down.... push it back in during install

Hi, mine had a hole in the center on the handle. And I mounted it on a wall... If I were you, I would just do a hole on the center for a screw.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Just remove the only screw on the side the handle and pull apart. Hope this helps.

Its very easy it should be four screws that come wit it. Just line the handle up with the wholes and screw it in! :)

I used a standard broom handle, the kind where the broom head screws on and off the handle. You'll notice on the picture of the product that there's a socket or hole between the two wing nuts. The socket is is threaded and that's where you screw it on to your broom handle. You can also use the handle for extending the reach of a paint roller. Both worked for me.

My husband used a very small screw and a washer. He went to Home Depot with the lid and knob. I hope that helps.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

There should be a hex wrench with the doorknob, if not it is a standard size. You use it to loosend the handle and either rotate it 180 degrees or switch sides depending on your knob.

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

If you look at the lid 'bottom up' you will see two holes in the glass: one for the screw, the other off center about an inch, with a peg (part of the knob assembly) for stabilization. If the way it was put together on yours offends you, you could try taking the screw out and rotating the knob to the centered position.

I had to use needle nose pliers to hold one of the bolts on the handle. Adjustable wrench would work too.

The top of the knob comes off...you can see a slight line at the joint. Use a small screw driver or knife blade to gently remove it. There is a screw below the cap.

Where the handle attaches to the shaft is a thumb screw. Loosen that and adjust the lever under that. It's easy.

Loosen the nut close to the handle, pliers will be needed. The tip will slide off. Do not tighten very much.
