Faucet leaks at spout.

satisfactory distance.
Check that faucet lever is in the off position.
Faucet may drip for up to a minute after shutting off. This is the natural construction of the faucet.
Check that lock nut under faucet lever is tight.
To check this:
- Remove faucet lever, lever base assembly and cap to expose lock nut. Tighten lock nut. If
leak persists, the cartridge under the lock nut should be replaced.
Tighten set screw in lever with supplied Allen wrench.
Check that area under sink cabinet is free from any articles that may impede the travel of the hose.
Check the position of the weight(s) on the hose that will allow desired travel. Move weight(s)
