4. Grasp the faucet handle with your left hand, vigorously pull it upwards, and use a screwdriver to handle the back end (if necessary, it is made of non-metallic materials),

Otherwise, it will damage the outer surface of the faucet. Gently tap upwards to separate the accessory "02 water outlet handle";

Leakage methods and reasons

1. There is no water leakage at the outlet of the faucet: this condition occurs when the axial gasket inside the faucet is worn out.

Solution: Based on the size of the faucet, select the corresponding pliers to loosen the faucet cover, and use the pliers to remove the worn shaft gasket. Then, replace it with a new auxiliary gasket to solve the problem.

2. Leakage at the joint of the faucet receiver: Check if the nut at the receiver is loose.

The solution is to tighten the nut or replace it with a new U-shaped gasket.

3. Reason for water leakage in the lower gap of the faucet bolt:

That is caused by the wear of the triangular sealing gasket inside the gland. You can loosen the screw and remove the bolt head, then loosen the cover and remove it. Then, take out the triangular seal on the inside of the cover and replace it with a new one.
