Carpet cleaner handle will not lock upright or collapses unexpectedly

Safety: Unplug the Husqvarna carpet cleaner. Support the handle to prevent sudden movement.

• Inspect latch mechanism: At the base of the handle, examine the latch pedal and locking teeth. Replace the Husqvarna handle latch if teeth are worn or broken.
• Check pivot hardware: Tighten any loose screws or bolts at the handle pivot. Replace worn bushings if there is excessive play.
• Test operation: After reassembly, move the handle between upright and operating positions to confirm secure locking.
