I cannot extend the handle and if it does slightly extend it does not hold and reverts right back to the short handle position. Help!

It is kinda tricky. find the exact spot and to tighten turn clock wise. It took a little while to find the right area to tighten. pull all the way up and keep trying. good luck

I would try loosening the mounting screws, and ensure that it is seated level in the lock hole. Are both handles not level?

Your center support bar is upside down, unscrew it and flip it over. The handle bars are suppose to extend outward.

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.

Check that your two piece mop handle is properly aligned and that the two protruding buttons are fully extended. They secure the handle parts and if not in order you can have difficulty using the trigger mechanism. We did, but once aligned all is fine.

I had the same problem but realized that there was not enough pressure. If you tighten it more it should lock into place, also make sure the door is pressed down all the way before snapping the handle down.

I have had this problem also.. could also be why my handle recently came off from the constant up and down. Mine never went down all the wsy just a notch or 2

Make sure the attachment is pushed all the way in, then turn the locking ring at the top of the handle. It can be difficult to turn!

RVG Remove the handle and take it to a Home Depot or equivalent and ask for replacement. Delta guarantee their units for life. I didn't know this and bought a part that did not fit. I took it in, they gave me a new replacement part. Try this. Al

I know I'm responding to this later than the others, but don't loosen the screws! You have to lift the handle first; I know, it's really tough, I had to get my dad to help me, but that really is the solution. Once the handle is lifted, you can turn to knob to adjust the pressure.

Obviously pulling the handle up with raise & lower. To operate the tilt, pull the handle straight out horizontally. This will allow you to rock it. Bring the seat back to an upright position, push the handle back in horizontally and it will lock. Hopefully this helps you!

I had the same problem and ended up switching out the handle with an older handle off of something else I was going to throw away. If I had not had another handle I would have used something to provide more friction or returned it.

I pull the handle all the way up and turned the lower part of the handle below the blue ring until it felt tight. Hope this help

Bless the little helper! Unfortunately, no it cannot be shortened. Just an FYI to you and others who read this, I have had mine a few months and the handle cracked so it is wound up in duct tape.

Turn it upside dow and place your foot into the handle. push down really hard on the blade and you should here a snap and then it will be sturdier. This should solve the problem. Feel free to contact me again if you still can't get 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...

sorry, I missed this in my mailbox.........if I am too late, I apologize. You should be able to press buttons on each side of the handle and then twist the handle into the position you want.
