ing the key as this may damage the unit. To retract the
latch, turn the key clockwise until it stops, release the
key and turn the lever handle (H). See page 16 & 17

Note: The lever handle must stay in the horizontal posi-
tion when turning the key (do not try to turn the key while

work.

Important: Always keep the door open while installing and
verifying the functionality of the E-760/770/790 lock with
