zip tied to the handle problem solved and now I cant accidentally adjust it, so solved two issues at once.

Not a problem for me, as I cut my grass at the shortest height. Wasn't a problem at the beginning when I was trying various cutting heights. My handle is stiff and hard to move, so I can't see it jumping out of its notch. Is your handle installed correctly?

How old is the mower? Has the setting selector been damaged? Usually there are notches for the setting lever to be placed in? Not knowing the condition of the area in question can not suggest a remedy. Sorry.

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!

I never have had this problem once in two years but if it were me I would get ahold of Black and Decker they can help you and are so kind.

Just hold the lever up with you hand and push down on the table. It will go all the way down or just a short amount depending on how long you hold it. I use mine every day and it is very handy. Hope this helps. Terri

Spray with Cool Lube or other lubricant, move the lever back and forth a few times, a lot of times that will free it up. I've also noticed that if you use one position a lot it won't clip there, but will clip on the other lengths.

I pull out the lever to make the chair lean back. I've never felt the need to make any other adjustment. This is the same approach to "Tilt" that I've used on other chairs. Did you expect something different or have you not been able to pull out the lever so it would tilt?

I have not had that problem, is the lever loose? mine is spring loaded. sorry is it the right size shaft?

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...

try "jiggling" the bottom metal piece while you're tightening it. also, hand-tightening is not enough...you should be using a wrench or ratchet

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!

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

Is the plunger all the way up into where the lever is? Check that first. If it still does it then you might have a defective one. Play with it and see if you can get it to work properly. Good Luck!!

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.

Drill a hole in the railing at the spot where the screw in the clamp will contact the railing and position the screw in the hole. That should hold it in place.

I had the same problem. If you can't remove it by pulling it as hard as you can. Return the control.If you try to pry it off the control will become damaged. The problem is the clip holding the knob on the stem istoo tight, the hole on the knob needs to be a hair larger

hi jhon when you take your faceplate off theres a little circle to reset the deck use a ink pen tip & push it in... if that doesnt work i would unplug the wire harness and plug that back in... or your sorce button turns the deck on & off by holding it in for a few seconds try that... if this all fails kenwood has a one year warranty send it back the will fix or replace it buddy ..good luck &#9786;

For me, improper adjustment was the cause. I watched a few YouTube videos, and adjusted them myself. Problem solved. A bike shop can do it for you if your not a DIYr.

I had the same problem. What I did is take one of the longer bolts to tighten down. That allowed me to get just enough thread for the short ones to reach then remove the longer bolt and repeat the steps.

Try unscrewing the adjustment entirely...the should be a rubber seal inside in addition to a little plastic ring. See if either of those are mangled and messing with the adjustment.
