4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the handwheel:

1. Preparation: Ensure the water or heating supply to the valve is completely shut off. If replacing an existing handwheel, carefully remove it, noting how it was attached.
2. Align the Handwheel: Position the new COMAP handwheel onto the square shaft of the valve. Ensure the 7.5 mm square opening on the handwheel aligns correctly with the valve shaft.
3. Secure with Screws: Use the provided fixing screws to firmly attach the handwheel to the valve shaft. Do not overtighten, but ensure it is secure and does not wobble.
4. Test: Slowly restore the water or heating supply. Check for any leaks around the valve. Test the handwheel's operation by turning it to open and close the valve.

5. Operating Instructions

To operate the tap or valve using the COMAP handwheel:

• To Open/Increase Flow: Rotate the handwheel in the direction indicated by the '+' symbol or as appropriate for your valve to open the valve and increase flow.
• To Close/Decrease Flow: Rotate the handwheel in the direction indicated by the '-' symbol or as appropriate for your valve to close the valve and decrease flow.
• Adjust the handwheel gradually to achieve the desired flow rate or temperature setting.

6. Maintenance

The COMAP handwheel requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the handwheel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the handwheel for any signs of wear, cracks, or looseness. Ensure the fixing screws remain tight.
• Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the handwheel itself. If the valve mechanism is stiff, consult the valve's manufacturer instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

• Handwheel is loose: Ensure the fixing screws are tightened securely. If the shaft is worn, the handwheel may need replacement or the valve shaft may require attention.
• Difficulty turning the handwheel: This usually indicates an issue with the internal mechanism of the valve, not the handwheel itself. Consult the valve's instruction manual or a professional.
• Water leakage: If there is leakage from the valve, it is not related to the handwheel. Turn off the water supply immediately and consult a plumber or the valve's manufacturer.
