Before You Begin

NOTE: The faucet shown in the following installation procedures may differ from your actual product. However the installation steps apply to all faucets packed with this guide.

□ Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
□ Shut off the main water supply.
□ Carefully inspect the waste and supply tubing for any sign of damage.
☐ The faucet will not function properly with lavatories that have a lip height of more than 1"(2.5 cm).
☐ For this faucet to function properly, install the faucet so the sensor points directly toward the user.
Before installation, unpack the new faucet and inspect it for damage. Remove and dispose of the protective tape covering the sensor eyes on the front of the faucet body.
☐ Return the faucet to the carton until you are ready to install it.
☐ For new installations, install the faucet before installing the lavatory.

Before You Begin (cont.)

☐ The faucet is rated at 6 V D C 1 W a n d i s operated by a 6 V D C battery or an optional AC power supply.
NOTE: In areas where the water has a high particulate level, install a 20-micron water filter in the water supply line.
☐ Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of faucets without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

1. Prepare for Installation

NOTE: When installing this faucet to a 1-1/16" (2.7 cm) to 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) diameter hole, a single stud configuration should be employed. When installing this faucet to a 1-1/4"(3.2 cm) to 2-1/2" (6.4 cm) diameter hole, a two stud configuration should be employed.

NOTE: The faucet comes configured for a two threaded stud installation.

☐ For new installations, drill a 2-1/2"(6.4 cm) diameter mounting hole if there is no existing installation hole.
☐ If installing the faucet on an existing deck, confirm the mounting hole is a minimum diameter of 1-1/16"(2.7 cm).
☐ If the installation requires a one stud configuration, remove both studs using a pliers. Take care not to damage the threads. Reinstall the stud in the single stud mounting hole behind the flex hoses.
☐ If a single supply of tempered water will be used, remove the flexible hose from the hot side of the faucet and replace it with the provided plug.

2. Faucet Installation

☐ Slide the O-ring over the flex hoses and studs, and attach it to the groove in the base of the spout.
☐ Ifinstallingtheoptionalescutcheon: Thread the supplied studs into the holes in the bottom of the escutcheon. Carefully slide the escutcheon and gasket over the flex hoses and stud(s) up to the base of the spout.
□ Run the flex hose and studs through the mounting hole from above.
☐ Slide the bracket onto the stud(s). If a single stud configuration is being used, slide the stud through the middle hole in the bracket.
☐ Thread the supplied nut(s) onto the faucet stud(s).
☐ Forescutcheoninstallations: Slide the channel brackets and spacers onto the escutcheon studs. Thread the nuts onto the studs to secure.
□ Tighten all nuts securely. Do not overtighten.

3. Attach the Filter Assembly

☐ Turn on the water and flush the water through the supply stops into a bucket.
□ Turn off the water.
☐ Thread a filter assembly onto each supply stop.
☐ Thread a flex hose onto the other end of each filter assembly.
☐ Turn on the water and flush the faucet by activating it.

NOTE: For optimum performance, clean your filters periodically. Refer to the Maintenance Guide.

4. Optional Temperature Limiting Adjustment

CAUTION: Riskofpersonalinjury. Scalding may result if the limit stop is not reinstalled properly.

NOTE: The water temperature does not need to be adjusted if the water temperature is below 105^ F ( 41^ C).

NOTE: Use a thermometer rated for 120^ F ( 49^ C) or greater.

NOTE: When using a tempered water supply, install the vandal-resistant plug button.

Adjust the Water Temperature Limit – Handle Installations

☐ Turn on the water and adjust to the full hot position by turning the handle toward the back of the faucet until it stops.
☐ Determine the temperature using a thermometer. If the temperature exceeds 105^ F ( 41^ C), complete the following steps.
□ Turn the handle until vertical.
□ Attach the cleaning strap over the sensor.
☐ Remove the handle screw using the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench.
□ Remove the handle and the limit stop.
□ Remove the limit stop from the handle splines.

Optional Temperature Limiting Adjustment (cont.)

☐ Rotate and reposition the limit stop on the handle splines. Rotating the limit stop clockwise toward the back of the faucet will decrease the maximum temperature limit. Each spline represents approximately 10^ F ( 5^ C) change in temperature.
☐ Reinstall the handle vertically with the limit stop in place. Do not secure the handle with the screw at this time.
☐ Turn the handle to full hot and check the water temperature.
☐ Repeat the above procedures until the desired temperature is reached.
□ Secure the handle assembly with the screw.
□ Remove the cleaning strap and turn on the water.

Adjust the Water Temperature Limit – Vandal Resistant Installations

NOTE: If you install the vandal-resistant plug button, save the limit stop and handle to adjust the water temperature at a later date.

☐ Using the handle, adjust the water to the desired temperature.
☐ Remove the handle screw using the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench.
☐ Position the vandal-resistant plug button and firmly press into place.
