Handle Button, Moving To Installed Position

If the button was pushed in by mistake, the installed position can be set again.

There are two ways to move the button into the installed position, "with" or "without" an assembly aid. The following describes both ways.

Moving the Handle "with" An Assembly Aid into the Installed Position:

Make sure the assembly aid has an eye -arrow- at the front. Other assembly aids cannot be used.

-- Press the button and push the assembly aid (with the eye) -arrow- all the way in until it latches into place. Then release the button. The button locks in the installed position when the assembly aid is pulled out.

Moving the Handle "Without" An Assembly Aid Into the Installed Position:

-- Push the small lever -1- into the groove -2- with a screwdriver. This pushes the button -3- into the installed position.

NOTE:

Push the lever into the groove and no further.

Install the trim back onto the handle only after the handle is installed. This way it is possible to see if the small lever fits into the pull rod when the button is pushed.
