Place snap valve handle adapter over valve and slip U-bracket from underside of supply pipe and push the slide bracket back
into snap controller body.

push all the way so fine

Note 1:
For ball valve adapter,
determine handle size and f it to the
corresponding side of the adapter,
see image 1.
For Gate Valve
The handle of the gate valve will need to be removed. Once
removed, inspect the valve stem to ensure it is configured to the
snap adapter’s square receiving hole.
Note:
If your stem is splined or round, this adapter will not work
for you.
Step 1:
First close valve all the way. Then, install the snap valve
controller over valve aligning the square valve stem with the
adapter handle. Insert the U bracket, keeping clearance so fine
adjustments can be made.
For fine adjustments see step 5.
Note:
If the square does not align, use the original valve handle
to rotate the stem a 1/8th turn at a time, going towards the
opening position, until the adapter fits onto the square stem,
see image 2.
