Toro 20113 Recycler

I have electric start and other day I removed battery to charge it up, now when I go to start it the cable let go on handle.
It’s like something is missing, when I held down the traction control handle “ I think that’s what it’s called “ the cable let go and plastic sleeve is bent. Any ideas, I don’t even see that part on diagrams.
I tried attaching photo but it doesn’t let me.

#1 plastic sleeve at end bends when handle pulled back.
