How do you get the handle to retract? I raised it to full height, and now I can't figure out how to get it back down!

When you psh down on the bar for folding the handle it also releases the handle to slide back in. It is a little stiff at first and you will probably have to wiggle it from side to side while applying downward pressure but it wil work itself out in time so you won't need to wiggle it.

Anyone resolved the issue with the height adjustment? I have the same problem -- the mower does not raise/lower when the handle is squeezed...

Mine didn't initially want to go on, but I pressed down on it, hard, and screwed it in place at the same time. Two things, make sure that you tighten it in a clockwise direction looking down on it, and firmly grasp the section just below where you're screwing the end cap on so that you don't accidentally bow or break the handle.I hope that's of some help.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

Hi Cheryl, I had a very hard time with this also. I loosened the tension all the way & enlisted my wife's help. I held up the handles and my wife connected the hook. It took the two of us to finally get it. I think we were trying too hard; because, it just kind of went into place. Sorry, it's hard to explain what we did. It was very frustrating. Good luck

Make sure you are using the lever to make it retract. Mine stopped retracting and I had to send it back. The send it back it me in two weeks and it's working now.

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.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

sit on the seat, pull the handle up & slowly (kinda) get up. the seat height will rise until you let go of the handle.

I find the height adjustment VERY difficult to move and I am a very large strong man fyi Something must be broken on this or the manual is as bad as I believe in describing this as its just simply not fluidly doing it without me exerting extreme force. ... even then I cant seem to raise it to the top 3 levels. I can only lower it by pushing down extremely hard. Something has to be wrong here ... operator issues (machine seems to be smarter than me ) are a possibilty but ....I doubt it. Thoughts or help ?!?

One person mentioned that the handle does not stay up. Can someone tell me if that product was defective, or do none of them stand up?

I am not sure what you are asking Angela. So if you are talking about lifting and lowering the vehicle you just turn the to the right to lift and to the left to lower. If you are talking about holding it in place there is a little round knob at the base where the handle is inserted. when you insert the end of tube into the hole there is a square piece that goes inside the end of the handle tube. After that goes in a little bit, pull the knob straight back. it is spring loaded and you will feel the tension on it as you pull it back. Then push the handle in the rest of the way and let the knob go back in. it will lock the handle in. I hope this helps you.

I raised the back to make it more level because the steep angle was too challenging for me. This helped. However, its near impossible to use the machine without holding the handle bars, because of the resistance. Could be dangerous, too.

I had the same problem! It vibrates out of its level selection. I simply tied a rope from the selector lever to the opposite handle. Done deal!

there is a small tiny slot on the inside handle. use a small flat head screwdriver to push into the slot which will release a catch and while holding it in pull the handle off. sometimes it is very tight but be persistent and the handle will come off. then reverse the handle and push back on.

Turn the top portion of the handle above the black ring until it loosens and pull the top portion upwards (careful not to hit yourself or anyone near you). Once it's at the height you desire, turn the top and bottom portions of the handle in opposite directions to tighten it. Once you're done, you can collapse it back down by loosening the top portion again and sliding it back down towards the black ring.

I went and checked on mine. Best I can tell you have to remove the screws attaching the back rest to the handles. Then it looks like you can remove the handles (although I did not try). The back rest should slid up and out. This would not be something you would want to do regularly, I would think.
