What do I do if the tension cord is too short (even when on dial 8) to fit in designated slots?

Get someone with some muscle, it's a terrible pain to do it but that's expected for tension

Hi Cheryl, I had a very hard time with this also. I loosened the tension all the way & enlisted my wife's help. I held up the handles and my wife connected the hook. It took the two of us to finally get it. I think we were trying too hard; because, it just kind of went into place. Sorry, it's hard to explain what we did. It was very frustrating. Good luck

I ran into this issue, I laid the bike on the side, connected the computer part and put in the line into the opening below so it had grabbed, pulled on the bar to be connected to the bike and it expanded the wire and fit into place, then I held both put the bike up right and got the bar into position.It does release but you need to a little muscle and can't be afraid about the wire snapping, it does expand though. It's the hardest part of the assembly, the tension bar.

Check the port to make sure the plug is the same size as the port. If it is not, it won't fit.

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

Call the manufacturer. I called them with a similar question and spoke to a lovely woman who helped me correct my issue.

I had the same problem and here is how I solved it. I removed the plastic, tie, holding the wire and electrical cable together. Careful you do not cut the electrical cable. This allowed me to loosen the nut locking the bracket on #11 wire cable. I was able to turn the bracket lower toward the base end #1. This gave me additional slack to slide the upper wire cable end into the aforementioned, slotted, bracket. This minor adjustment may change the tension slightly, causing a change in the Tension Control Knob. I just started using the bike, and have only used #1 and #2 settings, but it did not, too me, seem to throw the tension off much. I doubt I will ever use the #8 setting.

Press your fingernail straight into the slots that have arrows on the side. That should work

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

Look closely - this is addressed in the instructions - has something to do with dismounting the hose reel and setting it on its' side and cycling it, as I remember it. Also, maybe you could try to pull out more hose and try again. Short hose pulls are under less tension.

You have 33", strain-relief point (toaster body) to & including prong blades. This is not much, but is probably kept short a/c kitchen counter average space & that toasters are a relatively high amp draw for the time they are toasting user's bread. The "jaw" just inside strain-relief point (not visible to user) is also quite good at holding desired cord length out. It must be tugged out further, gently, if user wishes to fully retract cord back into toaster body. Hope this helps, best to you!

You should contact the company; mine doesn't work well but with some tinkering it's okay. It's a pain.

Mine is sitting in a drawer, replaced by one with adjustments. Sorry I cannot help.

Make sure the wire is crimped correctly.. No slack or parts of it sticking out of the crimp. Make sure thr pin is pushed all the way into the connector. There should be a noticeable "click" (you may not hear it but should feel it click into place.) if it doesn't seat properly, pull out the pin and rotate it a bit... 1/4 turn... And reinsert it. That should work.

I had an initial problem with the battery becoming unseated from the contacts; this very thing happened to me. First make sure that it is clicked in completely. Then if there is ANY movement at all use a small piece of folded notecard or paper to force firm seating in the connector.

OK -- it's your fault! I yanked it out and the small end that was stuck did not come out with cord. Dang. Guess I will buy a new one.

It sounds like you got a dud. Some of these "gray market" telephones have inherent flaws, and you must have gotten a huge flaw indeed. Check the obvious things - try putting the charger into a different plug; see if you can find a different charger cord (mayb e a friend has one - nthe plug-in is a pretty common size). And then, barring a change, contact Amazon for a replacement.

The dial easily rotates around to the size you need. Yours must be defective.

I had the same problem it has a lot of tension on it. I had to loosen everything that was connected to this wire before it was able to be fit into it's position. If you study it long enough you will see what to do.
