I have the same problem with one side not locking when stowing. It does lock when towing and that is what matters to me. I have the cover for it when stowed so it keeps it in place.

Remove Outdoor Handle, Punch Out Metal Hole Plug, Install Lock From the Inside of Handle Assm. You Will Need to Adjust the Rod ( By Breaking off At Scored Area ) so That it Will allow The Proper Length Between Outside Handle and Inside Lock Lever

Good advice from other commenters. Check the make and model number, and measure the cylinder and length expanded. Then search the web. Lots of options are available.

Double check the installation or return. Ours go down smoothly with the lever while sitting on it.

I had the same problem...it is the poorly designed side latches....some times it would work and most times it wouldn't...cut your losses and send it back and get another brand....you will hate this machine if you keep it or not even use it since it is such a hassle.

Where is it leaking from? Are you making sure the lever is closed all the way? Sometimes it can be a little difficult to close all the way

did you forget to replace or reinstall the O ring that I think seals that assembly, or you might not have the piston sleave seated all the way down to the bottom of the cylinder

Take it to a locksmith. The cylinder should be able to be removed. Re-keying a lock is not something the normal DIY guy can handle. But as i remember the setup/installation it should be possible with the right tools.

I have had the hydraulic cylinder fail after 9 months I'm just over 3oo. I replaced it.

I suspect the screws are too tight. You may want to spray some WD-40 and try and loosen the internal brass fittings. Be careful, the black levers will snap off.

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

Sorry, I have no idea on that one. Mine was tight and worked fine out of the box. If it was mine I would try tightening it up and try it and adjust from there.

I would lock it back up and try the side handles first slowly then the top ones. I would also make sure the top hose switch is disconnected.

Did you install it correctly? The way i installed it was to tightened til it stops, back out 1/4 turn and retightened. Repeat til it is straight. The crush washers are one time use.

Take some grease n pack it into top and then screw the cylinder back on. I had the same problem and that is the only way i could get it to prime.

Tighten till it cracks and back it off a quarter turn. Its not a cylinder head, just snug it up.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your hose, make sure the extension wand is removed from your hose and that the end of the hose is firmly pushed into the lower hose to tightly secure it. If you are still having trouble please reach out to us! http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107
