For Lavatory, Shower, and Roman Tub Faucets:

Hold the lever handle (part #1) at the OFF position.
Rotate the canopy (part #2) counter-clockwise by hand all the way till the handle is removed.

Sometimes, you need to tighten the ring between the lever handle and the canopy before starting to remove the handle.

For 3/4" Thermostatic Valve Trim:

Pull out the rubber button (part #1) and unscrew the set screw (part #1) using a hex wrench counter-clockwise.

NOTE: When reinstalling the limit stop and the handle assembly, align the gun sight on the limit stop with the notch on the valve cartridge stem. When recalibrating the output temperature for the high-temperature over-ride position, rotate the cartridge stem counter-clockwise until the desired temperature is reached. For a lower output temperature over-ride position, rotate the cartridge stem clockwise until the desired temperature is reached.
