Side bar assembly won't lock back into place - Baby Trend Deluxe Playard Nursery Center Metropolitan

The DC25 Animal has a design flaw where part of the Duct Assembly (main part of the vacuum) where the Red lock bar goes over breaks off the Duct Assembly and it causes the DC25 to not be able to stand up normally. There is a short Youtube video describing this flaw.

Unfortunately, you can repair this except by replacing the entire duct assembly.

The actuator is held in place by 3(?) or 4(?) screws on the latch side of the door. Make sure window is all the way UP! First, remove the door upholstery and the splash liner. Next, disconnect the two metal linkages running from the lock/latch assembly. You may now remove the screws holding the actuator in place. Remove electrical plugs. Transfer the linkages, plug in the electrical connector, slide the assembly back into the door, replace the screws, etc. After an hour or 2 you should have a repaired lock assembly and no more buzzing. Expect to pay around $65 including shipping for the new actuator. Good luck...

If there is not a flaw in the product itself it could be a problem with assembly or that the locking bar is not locked in place properly. The juicer will not operate if the locking bar does not click in to place in to the grooves on both sides of the lid.

Jack LaLanne has several HowTo videos posted that would be worth reviewing:

You are also able to download a manual which includes illustrated assembly and disassembly instructions:

If you are unable to lock the locking bar in place it suggests that some other component has not been installed in the correct position. Review the assembly instructions to make sure all pieces are properly positioned.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the push-pin retainers that secure the top of the upper fascia and grille assembly to the upper tie bar to allow the upper fascia and grille assembly to flex forward.
3. Remove the bolt and the push-pin retainer that secures the top of the headlamp assembly to the upper tie bar.

1. Gently pull the upper fascia and grille assembly forward only far enough to remove the bolt located at the bottom inboard side of the headlamp assembly.
2. Pull the headlamp assembly straight out to disengage the snap-in retainer at the lower outboard back surface of the assembly. Turn the assembly so that the front inboard corner clears the front fascia.
3. Pull the headlamp assembly out and away from the vehicle
4. Disconnect the headlamp electrical connector.
5. Remove the headlamp assembly from the vehicle.
6. Remove the headlamp bulb cover from the headlamp assembly.
7. Remove the headlamp bulb socket from the headlamp assembly.

CAUTION: Refer to Halogen Bulb Caution in Service Precautions.

1. Remove the headlamp bulb.
2. Remove the side marker bulb socket from the outer side of the headlamp assembly.
3. Remove the side marker bulb.
4. Remove the parking lamp bulb socket from the inner edge of the headlamp assembly.
5. Remove the parking lamp bulb.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Refer to Halogen Bulb Caution in Service Precautions.

1. Install the headlamp bulb to the socket.
2. Install the headlamp bulb socket to the headlamp assembly.
3. Install the headlamp bulb cover to the headlamp assembly.
4. Install the side marker bulb to the socket.
5. Install the side marker bulb socket to the headlamp assembly.
6. Install the parking lamp bulb to the socket.
7. Install the parking lamp socket to the headlamp assembly.
8. Connect the headlamp electrical connector.
9. Install the headlamp assembly to the vehicle by placing it back into position so that the bolt holes align and the snap-in retainer located at the outboard back surface of the headlamp assembly engages.
10. Gently pull the upper fascia and grille assembly forward only far enough to install the bolt located at the bottom inboard side of the headlamp assembly.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

1. Install the bolt and push-pin retainer that secures the top of the headlamp assembly to the upper tie bar.

Tighten the bolts to 6 N.m (53 lb in).

1. Install the push-pin retainers that secure the top of the upper fascia and grille assembly to the upper tie bar to allow the upper fascia and grille assembly.
2. Close the hood.

Normal 0 This will be the basic instruction for most common saws. Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by moving the front hand guard towards the front handle if the saw is equipped with a chain brake on the handle. Loosen the bar nuts on the clutch cover. Loosen tension screw or other adjuster (thumbscrew) to allow the bar to be moved toward the engine. Some saws have this tension adjustment built into the bar. This will provide enough slack in the chain to able to reinstall it. It may be necessary to remove the side cover to gain access to the clutch/gear assembly on the side of the engine if the chain also jumped the gear here. Remove the cover, inspect for any debris or other obstructions in this area. If none, replace the chain back over the drive gear and in the bar groove all the way around the bar. It may be necessary to turn the bar adjuster screw more to provide enough slack in the chain to do this. Once the chain is in place reinstall the cover and bar lock nuts. Snug up the nuts but do not tighten these. Turn the bar/chain adjuster screw to tighten the chain on the bar (take up slack). I usually tighten to a point where there is no slack between the chain and the bottom of the bar and I can still turn the chain easily around the bar by hand. With experience you will get the feel for this chain tension. Once the chain is properly tensioned, tighten the bar lock bolts/ nuts on the side cover. I hope this helps you out.

The same thing happened to my 2006 Aveo. Once you do the above find the lock and the screw that holds it in (they will both be in the bottom of the door). Put the lock back in place, put blue Loctite on the screw and screw it back in place and this problem will not repeat itself.

i don't think you have to do any repairs from the top end. I will list most fromFord shop manual. Please rate as Fixya if this answers your questions. Please report back. Good luck.

Well, I don't have a solution to getting it back on, but if you could tell me how to get the stupid thing off, I could maybe figure out how to get it back on for you. :) I can't find anything about it via Cosco either. grrrrr!
