This maintenance brief can greatly prolong the life of your long-lasting lever handles.

Screws if protruding should be tightened to the recommended torque, and at the same time other parts of the handle should be inspected for other forms of wear. In cases where the handle is broken or defective, it should be replaced as soon as possible in order to avoid more severe breakdowns or therefore failures.

Moreover, do not forget to pay attention to the conditions where the lever handles are fitted.
