Didn't the bolts have the square shank to keep them from turning? Mine Did.

I was able to tighten mine up so that it does not turn at all. Make sure any old gasket or caulking materials are cleaned from both upper and lower surfaces. Use proper tools to avoid damage to the unit. If you feel that you will break the tightening nut or damage the threads, try a little "Loctite" between the upper portion of the nut and sink. You can get a replacement nut if things go wrong!!

You need to install the screws in the correct position with threads pointing up through the press into the handle. Install flat washer then the nut.

I didn't have any problems but maybe you don't have it screwed on tight enough. You could try replacing the washer or maybe use some plumbers tape or pipe dope. Plumbers tape is inexpensive and I would try that first. Hope this helps :)

Just put the washer in the top lid. Just push it with your finger and it will stay in place once you close the lid.

Wish I could help but mine is brand new. I always make sure I keep it lubricated so it doesn't dry out or rot, etc. I heard it's interchangeable with westinghouse parts...maybe you can call them and see. If nothing else..but some rubber weather stripping and just cut it to fit and put the screws back thru it.

I have this item and would not trust in washer. I believe the tray would be too large, unless you ran it by itself.They are not marked "dw safe".

I would go to your local hardware store and get some machined washers. Put then on the front of the license to limit the depth of the screw going through.

You will have to find some screws. You will attach it by locating a small ring right below the design. Dependimg on how big your screw head is, you may meed a washer as well.

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

If you can't unscrew and adjust send it back. Customer service through amazon is very good. Just request that you want to return it and an address label should be provided dto you in good time.

i had the same issue and found that it was the solid rubber washer in the spray valve. it appeared to be stuck in the valve chamber. i flipped it over in desperation and now it works fine. the older model had a built in tool in the spray lever to un-tighten the valve chamber.

Do you have good, new washers in both sides of the brass connector? Also, I am a 70 year old woman and I keep plyers handy to turn the small on / off taps as I have a little arthur in my hands.

Yeah I have trouble too, its too smooth. Screws on too easily. I used some sandpaper and a vinegar dip to make it rust up a little. The rust makes it harder to turn so it won't come on accidentally.

That's what I have and it worked perfectly. Take the three screws off the back of the washer top and look to see if the part looks like this. (back right side) Mine looked exactly like that. There is a video on youtube to show you how. Fixed it in 20 minutes time.

i really dont know, its a really odd washer, probably a gimmick to get to buy a special washer at a inflated price from them. what i did was grind off the metal part to make it flat, then a normal washer works just fine, even if you grind it off, it can still be removed with a socket wrench, your just grinding off the screwdriver part....
