7. Fit the lever handle (H) onto the drive tube (E) see page 12.
It should rest approximately 1/16" from the body of the hous-
ing. If not, wiggle and jiggle key (N) to align cylinder (J) with
override shaft (L)(See Fig. 8)
If it can’t be pushed that close to the housing, the lever catch (F) is
probably not pushed in. Push it in. (see fig 2 page 13)
If the lever catch (F) is stuck, the override shaft (L) is in the
wrong position. (see fig 2 page 13) The two small indents (M)
on the cross of the override shaft (L) must be vertically aligned
as in fig 2 page 13

If it is not possible to turn the key (N) counter-clockwise
to complete this step, the spring washer (D, see page 13)
may be too tense: (Not for lever feel)
!
Hit the lever carefully with a rubber mallet to loosen the spring
washer (D). (you may want to cover the lever handle (H) with a
cloth or other material to protect the finish of the metal)
9. Remove the key (N). The lock will look as shown in Fig.10.

Gently
check the rotation of the lever handle (H). It should
easily rotate approximately 45º.
Troubleshooting:
Right-handed Lock: Turn the lever handle (H) clockwise
without forcing it. If it stops at approximately 15º, it was
not assembled correctly as shown in step 4 (Fig. 6 & 7)
see page 14.
Do not try to force it to turn.
Release
the lever handle (H). Insert the small screwdriver (T), page
16 into the small hole on the underside of the lever
handle (H) and push in the lever catch (F) see page 17.
Re-do steps 2, 3, 4 & 5.
Left-handed Lock: Turn the lever handle (H) counter-clockwise
without forcing. The drive hub (B) (Fig.12 page16) should not
rotate when the lever handle (H) is turned. If it does, it was not
assembled correctly as shown in step 4 (Fig. 6 & 7). Release
the lever handle (H). Insert the small screwdriver (T), page
16 into the small hole on the underside of the lever handle
(H) and push in the lever catch (F). Re-do steps 2, 3, 4 & 5.
Attaching the Lever Handle to the Lock (with the key as shown in Fig. 6 & Fig. 7)
