The metal piece that move up and down when you use the handle is broken. Is this a common problem? any fix?

The sliding shaft broke??? Wow, that's almost inconceivable but contact the seller, they put a lifetime guarantee on their product. How did you manage to break that? Were you trying to juice a baseball?

I have had mine for 2 years and use it daily I never have had a problem I have heard others say that thy break. the only fix is to buy a new one and do not apply a lot of pressure unnecessarily. You can buy a commercial grade one but costs a lot more worth it . if you do a lot of juicing.

Do not know if it's a common problem.It is cast aluminum and a good welder can fix it quickly.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

Mine has never popped off. I'm not sure if it's fixable after that happens. I would think so though. I would put some baby oil on the plastic points wher the handle pivots in and then try to slide the handle back in positon. If that fails....... write te manufacturer and see what they say.

On mine, if I releasse the button in the handle when it is part way up, it locks in a lower position.

I had a problem with the flush handle assembly occasionally sticking in the down position after flushing. The water would continue to run until you pulled up on the handle returning it to the rest position. During this time it became hard to push. I removed the handle and cassette associated with it and shot silicone spray through the handle shaft into the cassette. Now it works like it was supposed to. I don't know if this is the source of your problem but I would hear the toilet running occasionally and found this lack of lubrication to be the problem.

Must be faulty; contact Olympia Tools customer service and they'll send you a new handle. They did for me.

My handle broke also but I was able to superglue it back on. So far it's holding up. I would contact Rival with your question and/or look for a possible new/used replacement on eBay.

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.

Try to lightly hold the handle but allow it to spin with the mop instead of holding the handle still. Should help with that.

The plastic pin on mine broke as well. Instead of continually getting it replaced I just put a long screw where the pin was and I havent had any issues since. All the handle needs is a pivot point. I would suggest it to anyone that has the plastic one keep breaking. Just make sure you line it up right.

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.

It's kind of tricky. To swap handle positions, you have to depress both "buttons" on each side of the handle (near bottom of handle) at the same time while moving handle into position. If done correctly, both "buttons" will click and pop back up.

My handle also broke. I found a replacement broom handle at home depot that fit the threads in the broom head. it seems they're pretty standard. I brought the broom head to make sure the handle fit!

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

Haha, a common problem if your not familiar. There is a metal tab that runs along the inside of the handle. Push it to the left then slowly and carefully close the blade forward and shut

Yup, broken handle... Used the mower for approximately 2.5 years. The cheap, plastic black piece that holds the orange handle to the unit broke. The spring is still there so hubbie is trying fix it right now. He drilled out a hole where the cheap plastic was and is trying to insert a nut and bolt. Wish us luck... I was kind of fond of this mower, even if in the spring time I have to cut only half the grass at a time.
