between the head of the screw and the wall to slip system onto screws.
(C) Place system over screws on wall and slide downwards to lock into place.
Make certain system is firmly attached to wall to prevent it from falling
and possibly being damaged.

5. Connecting the Faucet

(A) Insert one end of the 1/4" tube, supplied in the installation kit, into the
gray quick-connect fitting collar located on the bottom of the threaded
shaft of the faucet. Push tubing into the fitting until you come to a hard
stop.
Do not bend or crimp tube when inserting.
CAUTION:
(B) Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected properly. If the tube
comes out of fitting, cut a small section of the tube off and reconnect.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter and Inlet of Filter
(A) Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the inlet (left)
side of the filter with the supply adapter. Be sure to allow enough tubing
to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely. Place a mark 5/8" from the
end of the tubing.
(B) Wet tubing with water and insert into supply adapter 5/8" until mark is
flush with fitting.
NOTE: Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect Fittings:
Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will not require
that you disconnect the tubing from the filter system; however,
tubing may be quickly and easily removed from the fitting if
necessary. First, turn off the water supply to the filter. Open faucet,
then press in the grey collar around the fitting while pulling the
tubing with your other hand.
