I am unable to lock the cord when making an adjustment. The locking mechanism "yellow half wheel" doesn't secure the cord after making an adjustment?

The "yellow half wheel" locks by biting down on the cord when the cord is under tension. The way it is built, the hook is inline with the cord when under tension and this forces the front half of the "yellow half wheel" down and the back half up, where it bites into the cord locking it in place. I haven't tried it under pressure yet, but in theory this is how it would work. I am disappointed that there is nothing "steel" about these, except for the grey color of the cords. I feel tricked.

I haven't had the need to adjust the cord; I use it for transporting sufficient cargo to keep it stretched tight; if too loose I wrap it around a bar of my cart or move it to another angle to keep the cord taunt. I just love the cord and hope you receive a response that resolves your problem.

attach the non locking end on first--then attach the locking side and pull down on the cord..you need some tension on the cord

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

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...

I had the same problem. I passed the two ears of the rubber strap around the cord, then through the slot in the other end and snugged it tight. Then I pushed the two ears of the strap over the pin on each side of the key.

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. You can turn middle moveable wheel counter-clockwise to tighten. There is a noticeable difference, when you fluctuate that wheel.

This has not been a problem with my machine. Perhaps it was the tape? There is no way to make an adjustment that I know of. Good luck!

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.

I had a similar problem at first with the 9595, and the manual is useless when it comes to this issue. I followed one cardinal rule of dealing with any sensitive or expensive adjustment mechanism: never apply excessive force. After fiddling around with trying the lock slide in various positions I found that when you tilt the head all the way in one direction (counter-intuitive, eh? I thought at first it should be aligned as straight as possible) the lock slide works effortlessly and effectively. You might want to try it a couple more times if you haven't returned it yet.

It may be too tight, try loosening it a little at a time until you can lock it place.

Mine moves freely 90 degrees and I can find no way to lock it - so it sounds like there is a problem. Have you tried contacting Sony customer service - they have been helpful when I have called with questions/problems.

On mine I just have to press the lock release button then twist the handle until the handle locks automatically. You need to make sure your lock button is not stuck in the open position

Yes, I had the same problem with the safety lock. The simple fix is to take a hand drill with bit and expand the opening slightly. It still locks but opens with a mild tug. Good Luck.

Sorry, I have no idea on that one. Mine was tight and worked fine out of the box. If it was mine I would try tightening it up and try it and adjust from there.

No. Once you engage the cord to the lock position, you will not be able to pull the cord out.

JohnNo adjustment that I can find. Think something is wrong with yours and needs to be returned

I have the same problem, I just keep running my thumb nail down the cord anf that seems to keep it from twisting excesslively and the minute I get a knot around the stick, I stop and fix it. It is the basic principle of physics...you keep turning and twisting it to play with your cat and the cord is going to keep twisting and winding up... no real solution...just keep on doing what you are doing.

Since it locks by twisting it I know it has something to do with twisting in a particular direction. I have not used mine in a couple years and I couldn't find my directions for it.
