Installation may vary depending on how the previous faucet was installed.
Supplies necessary for the installation of the faucet are not all included; however, they are available wherever plumbing supplies are sold.
Prior to beginning installation, turn off the hot and cold water lines, then turn on the old faucet to release built-up pressure. When installing the new faucet, hand tighten the connector nuts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Connections that are too tight will reduce the integrity of the system.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Shut off the water at the supply valves under the sink or at the main water supply. Disconnect the supply lines. Remove the existing faucet from the sink.
   Clean and dry the surface area where the new faucet will be mounted.
   

2.  Unscrew the quick connector (2.1) from the end of the spray hose (2.2) by turning it in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the preassembled lock nut (C) and metal washer (B) from the shank (2.3) on the faucet body (A).
   

3. Before installation, make sure the flange (3.1) is on the bottom of the faucet body (A). Pull the spray hose (3.2) up through the faucet body (A) until the end of the hose is flush with the bottom of the shank (3.3) on the faucet body (A). Do not pull the fitting on the bottom of the spray hose (3.2) past the shank.  Carefully insert the water lines and tubes (3.4) on the faucet body (A) through the mounting hole in the sink (3.5).
   NOTE: Do not feed the spray hose (3.2) back down through the faucet body (A) until Step 5.
   

4. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet body (A) to the sink using the metal washer (B) and locknut (C). Secure the locknut (C) with the hex bolts (D). NOTE: It is helpful to have a second person hold the faucet in place while tightening the bolts on the lock nut.|
   

5. After inserting the tubes (5.1) through the hole in the sink, pull the spray hose (5.2) back down through the faucet body (A), and attach the quick connector  (5.3) by screwing it into the end of the spray hose (5.2) in a clockwise direction. Hand tightens only.
   

6. Push the quick connector (6.1) on the end of the spray hose (6.2) into the quick connect coupling (6.3) on the quick connect sprayer outlet (6.4). Give the spray hose (6.2) a tug to ensure the coupling is connected. If it is necessary to disconnect the spray hose (6.2) from the faucet, squeeze the tabs on the side spray quick connect outlet (6.4) and pull down on the quick connector (6.1) on the spray hose (6.2) to disconnect. After connecting the spray hose (6.2), attach the weight (E) to the spray hose (6.2) at the location indicated. To attach the weight (E), use a screwdriver to detach one side of the weight (E) from the other. Thenconnect the two pieces of the weight (E) back to each other around the spray hose (6.2).
   

7.  Attach one end of each of the water supply lines onto the shanks (7.1) on the faucet body (A), with hot water on the left and cold water on the right. Use  1/2 in. IPS faucet connections (7.2) or supply line coupling nuts (7.3) with 3/8 in. OD ball-nose risers (7.4).
   NOTE: Do not reuse existing supply lines. When installing new water supply lines, please refer to the supply line manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Tighten the supply line connections using two wrenches. Place the first wrench on the shank on the tube (7.1) to hold it in place while tightening the supply line with the second wrench. This will help prevent twisting of the tubing. Do not overtighten. Repeat for the second tube and supply line. Use caution when tightening the connections, as the lines can crimp or break, causing a leak.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

8. Attach each of the remaining ends of the water supply lines (8.1) to the hot and cold shut-off valves (8.2) and tighten with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
   

9. Once the installation is complete, remove the sprayhead (9.1) from the spray hose (9.2) to flush the water lines. Turn on the water supply and allow both hot and cold water to run for at least one minute to flush away any debris that could cause damage to internal parts. While the water is running, check for leaks.  If a leak occurs, gently tighten the nut on the connection that is leaking. Turn off the water and screw the sprayed (9.1) back onto the spray hose (9.2).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The lever handle controls the flow of hot and cold water to the faucet. Rotate the handle out and forward for cold water. Rotate the handle out and backward for hot water. Moving the handle outward opens the cartridge and causes water to flow from the spout. The degree of handle opening determines the volume of water flow.
Returning the handle to the original position toward the faucet body stops the flow of water.

CARE AND CLEANING
Clean periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals as these will dull the finish and void your warranty.
