I got one side of handle onto the post, but can't get the other side on. Is there a trick?

I bought it two years ago so I really don't remember. But I do not remember having a problem. Abe

I have the same mower... there are a couple great YouTube videos of this exact mower by OzarkNick. Just go to youtube.com and check them out. He shows how to sharpen it yourself and adjust the blades. I'm on my 3rd season with it and it still cuts great!

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.

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

Make sure the sliver latch is all the way towards the end of the handle before pushing lever to lock in...back to pan side

I just unscrewed the handle fixtures so I could put that on. The velcro strap is extremely annoying and falls out when I take it off. If I could reverse the velcro side I think I could get it to stay in.

we installed ours with the handle towards the front not towards the side as pictured. an option that might work for you.

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.

It took me one or two tries....undo it and set that side first and push down fairly hard. only when you feel it "click" (and it's subtle) should you move on to the other side. If this doesn't work, definitely let them know and get another one, since once I got my on, it has stayed on beautifully. I remember though that there was a moment or two when I thought one side might not snap, but it did.

I have never tried to do this, but you might want to unscrew the mirror and see if you can gain access to the handle hardware that way. Good luck.

you can make it go either way. It is the same handle and they give you a tool to change it on way or the other.

I had that problem at first, and then I realized that I had the orange connector piece in the wrong position. The larger hole slips over the end of the cross-bar, and the smaller portion fits into the upright posts. Hope this helps.

I guess the question is "the back OR the side"? It comes out of the side (right-lower side of the handle).

Mine was correct too. I do know one side is a bit larger than the other to accomodate the bigger end-have you tried switching the ends?

Turn handle counterclockwise while holding the barrel on the other side. Mine was a little stuck the first time also, but as long as you don't tighten too much when putting it together it's fine. :)

Go slow and carefully. Slide on to chair shaft and tighten screw in hole of handle. If shaft has been deformed you may have to force it on. Be careful to not make hole in handle too big in trying to get it to fit on shaft.

Yes, I reported the same problem. But I have not thought yet how to solve it. May be, if you use some metal file and round somwhat the insertion sides of the cutters, they possibly can go easier into the handle. I have not tried it yet myself.

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!
