prevent foreign matter, i.e. copper chips, sand, stones, etc.
from damaging the sealing surfaces of cartridge. Remove
aerator and turn valve handle on to full cold position, open
cold supply. Without closing, turn handle to full hot and
open hot supply. Let water run in hot only and cold only
positions long enough to flush supply lines thoroughly. Shut
off faucet and replace aerator. Check for leaks.
5. The handle limit stop can be set to limit handle turn to the
hot position. The limit mechanism is factory set to allow full
handle travel. To adjust the limit stop, turn handle to the full
hot position and lift handle to open faucet approximately
half way to obtain a smooth flow for correct initial tempera-
ture measurement.
6. If when faucet is on and in full hot position and water is too
hot, remove plug button (KN-157), loosen set screw (L-22)
and remove handle (KN-3RB, KN-3BRB or LN-135) or
plug button (T-33), screw (LN-171), and handle (LN-122).
Lift limit stop ring using a small flat head screw driver and

2. Engage tabs in cartridge wrench (LN-34) with slots in
compression ring (KN-2) and use screwdriver in wrench
holes or pliers on wrench and turn counter clockwise until
compression ring engages with cap (LN-8). Continue turn-
ing counter clockwise so that cap/ring assembly is removed
from the body (LN-371BH). Remove cartridge and three
ring seal (KN-4). Install new cartridge while taking care to
maintain position of the three ring seal at the base of the
cartridge. Match posts in base of cartridge with alignment
holes in valve body during assembly. Reassemble faucet in
reverse fashion. Thread cap onto body firmly by hand. Do
not use a wrench which may damage the finish. Tighten
