Preparation:

Tools needed: small crescent wrench, flat head screw driver
Shut water supply to the faucet off: Important: Turn off the water supply at the faucet before starting. You can either turn off the main supply to the house or close the shut-off valves if the faucet is equipped with them. Then open the faucet again to empty it of residual water. Failure to do so could result in flooding or injury.

Instructions:

1. Pull out diverter knob to expose two flat sides of the diverter housing. Using a small crescent wrench on the two flat sides, rotate counterclockwise.

2. Remove diverter housing. Clean out the diverter chamber to ensure there is no residual debris and/or blockage.

3. Disassemble diverter assembly and inspect for blockage and/or damage to o-rings. If damaged, replace. If no damage; re-lubricate the rubber o-rings and re-install.

4. Using a flat head screwdriver on the head of the diverter piston, tighten into the diverter knob by rotating clockwise.
