Hi all
The pull handle on my c250 holding tank won't pull fully out only the first section will pull out & is difficult to push back in.
Does anyone know how to remove it to see if I can either repair it or replace it
Regards Graham

Maybe the plastic has expanded with the soaring temperatures so the handle may well retract properly when the weather cools down. However, an application of WD40 silicon spray may help to lubricate the handle which I would try first before stripping the holding tank down although I think you will find that the cassette tank is a sealed container anyway.

Try a silicone spray.

Hi Tango
I understand the holding tank is a sealed unit so wouldn't attempt to strip that down, it's just the pull along handle that's stuck.
This is metal in 2 parts on the underside of the tank

I didn't know exactly how the retractable handle was attached as it's not the same as my C200 cassette but glad that you got it sorted.
