EGO EGO POWER+ LM2135SP 21-Inch 56V Self-Propelled Lawn Mower FOLD-HANDLE Error Fix: Folding Handle Mechanism Problem

The folding handle will not lock in the upright position or collapses during use — the handle clamp knobs may not be tightened sufficiently, the quick-release levers may be worn, or the handle tubes may be deformed; fully tighten the clamp hardware and check for cracks or bends in the handle tubes; overtightening can strip the clamp threads
