I know I am just not doing something right but I can't figure out how to put the tension knob on.

Does it haves threads in it? One of the nuts that are on the sides didn't have any threads on the one I got. I had to use a tap to cut threads in it.

The tension knob should simply screw on, it may take a few tries, but if you align it carefully, it will screw on easily. Don't force it as that could damage the threads, gently does it!

Hi Lizh...I am not sure how it should go on mine was already attached when I got it. I would imagine though that you just screw it into the top as far down as you can until it catches. That may do the trick

the knob works like a ratchet. pull it out and reposition it push it down and turn

I haven't, but I can see where it could happen if the instructions aren't followed, or if you're not careful. Putting the right amount of tension requires finding the right spot, the right distance from the door for the base. Once I found that spot, it's simple and safe for my (cheap) knob. The bar's mechanism is pretty sturdy, so if you crank on the handle, the doorknob will give before the ratchet mechanism. Just follow the instructions, find the right spot on the floor, and you'll be fine.

You have to loosen the knobs on the side, put the handle in the position you want it then tighten the knobs. Hope that helps.

Aside from turning the dial up to a higher number, I'm not sure how to increase the tension

I tryed to think of what could possibly make a sound like that, and I think it would be most likely involved in the tension mechanism. Try adjusting it all the way so it's hard to peddle, then begin backing off the tension untill you found your desired setting.

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

You should be able to tighten that clamp. To do this, first unclamp it, then turn the knob on opposite end of clamp clockwise. Then try clamping it again. You should be able to turn that knob with your hands, if not you can use pliers.

The most likely cause of this discomfort, as many people have pointed out and have complained about, is usually the water pressure knob handle. When you are adjusting the handle, it does not need to be all the way at the top, you just need to tilt it about 5-10% of the way up, and if you feel like it is too little, tilt it up SLIGHTLY, and if it is too much, then just simply lower it down. when it reaches about the 30 - 40% mark, then it will hurt, because the handle is VERY sensitive. Hope this helps.

I used a bar to force everything down to get it into place. Don't be afraid to muscle it. Everything should come together. Loosen everything up and try again.

I don't have that problem. As I turn the knob to the right, the tension increases. It lessens when I turn the knob to the left.

Sometimes the tenshion knob gets so tight that you have to have pliers to loosen knob. Unless the knob was cross threaded when installed

Should be an allen wrench set scree on top...turn it to increase the tension...push down on the wrench while in screw to release all tension

Provide Name, did you ever get yours working? I can't get either the long knob or the short knob to "click" onto the outside. There's a small kind of "facing cover" that's in the way, and the short knob won't fit either side.

The short answer is - I don't. I have it in a place for use, but because the unit has no tension knob, which I didn't know before I purchased, I'm not using it...a total waste of money and space. I'm actually trying to give it away.

Try adjusting the tension piece that is attached to the pull lever. Sometimes it needs a little adjusting to pull the wire to start theotor
