Button In Handle, Moving Into Installation Position

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

There are two ways to move the button into the installation position: >>with<< or >>without<< the assembly fastener. Both options are described here.

When using an assembly fastener, make sure that it has an eye -arrow- at the front. Other assembly fasteners are not suitable.

-- With the button pressed, push the assembly fastener with the eye -arrow- all the way in until the assembly fastener engages. Then release the button. The button locks into the installation position when the assembly fastener is pulled out.

-- Carefully unclip the handle trim -A- upward.

-- Push the small lever -1- for the pull rod into the groove -2- using a screwdriver, for example. This pushes the button -3- back into its installation position.

Tip:

Only push the lever into the groove and no farther.
Clip the handle trim onto the selector mechanism only after the handle is installed. This way it is possible to see if the small lever engages into the pull rod when the button is pushed.
