Tools and Materials Needed:

• Provided allen key

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Unscrew the Handle:

• Locate the handle on your Scudo Core tap.
• Carefully unscrew the handle counterclockwise to reveal a grub screw.

2. Loosen the Grub Screw:

• Once the handle is removed, you will see a grub screw underneath.
• Use the provided allen key to gently loosen the grub screw. Be cautious not to over-tighten or strip the screw.

3. Remove the Tap Head:

• With the grub screw loosened, the tap head should easily slide off. Set it aside for now.

4. Remove the Handle:

• Slide the handle off the tap spindle, exposing the spindle itself.
• If you're switching to an alternative handle, repeat steps 1 and 2 on the new handle to loosen its grub screw.

5. Place the New Handle:

• Slide the new handle onto the tap spindle in the same position as the original handle.
• Ensure that the grub screw on the new handle is lined up with the hole on the tap spindle.

6. Secure with the Grub Screw:

• Use the provided allen key to tighten the grub screw on the new handle securely.
• Make sure it's snug but not overly tight to prevent damage.

7. Screw in the Handle:

• Once the new handle is securely attached, screw it onto the tap spindle clockwise until it's firmly in place.

8. Final Check:

• Double-check that the new alternative handle is in the same position as the original handle. This ensures that hot and cold mixing remains in the same location.
