Diverter Handle Orientation Adjustment:
In the case where the diverter handle is not orientated exactly to the vertical, as in the picture below, adjust the diverter anti-clockwise by a small amount as shown in the image. Remove the diverter sleeve, and using a size 10 spanner, make the adjustment slightly to the left (anti-clockwise) until the handle points exactly to the vertical.
