OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF FRONT ACCESS FEATURES
FLOW ADJUSTMENT: A 3/16” hole in the center of this button is provided for front access to
the adjustment screw found on the cartridge assembly. While pushing the button in and using a
slotted narrow blade screwdriver, the flow may be adjusted by inserting it into the hole and
turning clockwise for increased flow, and counterclockwise for decreased flow.
STRAINER CLEANING: Periodically clean the strainer located inside valve body. Remove
front push-button and retaining nut with the universal spanner wrench provided. Pull cartridge
assembly out. Gently remove strainer off of cartridge. Thoroughly flush away any debris from
strainer. While keeping bottom of cartridge clean of debris, re-attach strainer by aligning larger
hole opening on gasket over the larger water inlet opening on the cartridge. Insert cartridge
assembly back into valve body, by aligning screen into large opening inside bottom of valve
body. Ensure cartridge has bottomed out, by slightly turning into place. Retighten retaining nut
and check for leaks.
CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT: Remove front push-button and retaining nut with
the universal spanner wrench provided. Pull cartridge assembly out. Gently remove strainer off
of old cartridge and reassemble on new cartridge (see strainer reattachment instructions
above). Insert cartridge assembly into valve body by aligning screen into large opening inside
bottom of valve body. Ensure cartridge has bottomed out, by turning slightly into place.
Retighten retaining nut and check for leaks.
CAUTION: When replacing strainer or cartridge assembly, damage can occur if
not properly re-installed. Read instructions carefully.
