Before you get started...
Always, always, always fit the Handle Adaptor and the Handle separately. Fit the adaptor to the machine first, and then fit the handle onto the adaptor. This applies to both the Philips PerfectDraft and the Heineken Blade.
And for the Philips PerfectDraft specifically, we recommend you smear a small drop of washing-up liquid onto the Handle Adaptor's black rubber o-ring, as this will help it to slide into place more easily.
Philips PerfectDraft
1. Hold the tap body and pull up gently to remove the original handle.
2. Align the Handle Adaptor and push it down into the machine's tap mechanism.
3. Now screw your handle onto the Handle Adaptor.
4. Align the handle so that badge faces forward.
5. Secure the handle in place with the locking ring supplied.
For further assistance, see the Handle Alignment section and video below.

Handle Alignment
Sometimes, when you screw a new handle onto a tap, the badge doesn't face all the way forwards.
To overcome this issue, our handle adaptors include a handy locking ring, which allows your to align your handle and then "lock" it in place.
Check out this short video from Kegerators.com, which shows how to use the locking ring - or ferrule screw, as our American cousins call it.
