I just bought one, and can't figure out where or what the "transportation lock" is that you're supposed to remove before first use. Any help?

Guess I'm not sure about a transportation lock as I don't recall reading anything about one. I'd have to assume it would be something that prevents the "trigger" from being squeezed inadvertently thus causing a mess. With the valve assembly installed and moving freely and your nozzle of choice screwed onto that (not too tightly!), you should be able to easily squeeze the trigger until the corner of the sheet metal comes in contact with the cap. When you release pressure, the trigger should spring back into its original position.If there is some sort of transportation lock, I'd look under the trigger for something that could prevent it from being fully squeezed.

It is the yellow plastic nut that keeps the lever down when the unit is not in use. Obviously you need to remove it to be able to put one of the valve tips.

There is a small plastic cap, mine was yellow or green (can't remember) that is screwed onto the valve assembly. It is where you screw on one of the plastic nozzles. The valve can be pushed through to the inside of the cap so you can clean it. As no nozzle is attached when it is shipped, they put a transportation lock on the valve to prevent it from falling into the unit.

Give it a short twist to unlock the cap at the end of the handle and then pull it straight off. The bit carrier is actually attached to the cap.

I looked mine over and found no way to lock it. I do not believe that it can be locked.

There is a lever up by the handle to lock and a release to unlock. Really handy! Much better than having to stop and manually do it.

There is a small ratchet type device with a tightening screw in it right where your right thumb should be. Squeeze the handles and flip the ratchet to the right and it is no longer locked! Flip it back when you finish. It loosens up somewhat after use.

Hi Al,I don't have anything to add to the great answers already provided. Some have really specific instructions step by step, and what to do if you decide to take it down or move to another location. This is what I remember doing, and though it's short on instructions, you can see the directional arrows for clockwise and counter-clockwise to lock it in place right on the chrome suction part of the bar. Good luck!

Lift up on the bottom red handle. Pull up the sides to a semi locked position, then push down the bottom. That should lock the sides

On the upper right side there is a tab (mine is blue and it is by the SAT) hold it in while you slide down the individual days. If you want to remove the lock, hold it in while you slide down all of the days, then you should be able to remove it.

hmmm... unscrew in a counter-clockwise direction. It does get a bit sticky if it has been the 'bottom' on rotation. BTW I'm certain you slid the unlock off that is located on the lid area... Mike

Mine locks but the locking cable has loosened. Does anyone have experience tightening it?

My best guess is someone put the bag on backwards with the keyway slot on the opposite side of the key lobe (hard to do). You'll need someone to push the bag's two locking tabs inward while a second person uses a blade screwdriver to pry the base of the bag off the Polaris unit...good luck!

How do I get it out of the Lock mode? And I was expecting to get the 50mm les with it when I bought it, ad said LENSES.....

There is a lock and this must be slid back. Then the "S" plastic across the top has to be turned fully. There are 3 spacers around the edges and you can see when they are lined up so that the top is unlocked. Sometimes this is difficult because of the debris that accumulates between the lid and the edge of the barrel. Once I needed my husband to turn the top to unlock it for me, but the rest of times I've been able to do it, but I have to put my body (weight) into the turn.

I have the same problem. I think the lock was mismanufactured at the factory. I'm certain I installed it correctly. Will be exchanging for a new lock

Yes, I had the same problem with the safety lock. The simple fix is to take a hand drill with bit and expand the opening slightly. It still locks but opens with a mild tug. Good Luck.

It will lock if turned and push down(great for travelings!). Or a piece has dried on the end and it needs to be cleaned off.
