Installation Instructions

Tools Required: Adjustable wrench, screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on existing faucet), plumber's tape (optional).

Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink and turn them off completely. Turn on the faucet to drain any remaining water and relieve pressure.
Remove Old Handle (if applicable): If replacing an existing handle, carefully remove any decorative caps or screws. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the screw holding the old handle in place. Pull the old handle straight off.
Clean Faucet Stem: Clean any mineral deposits or debris from the faucet stem where the new handle will attach.
Install New Handle: Place the new Moen 94740 handle onto the faucet stem, ensuring it seats properly. Align the handle so it is in the desired "off" position.
Secure Handle: Insert the handle screw (if provided with the kit, or reuse the old one if compatible) into the top of the handle and tighten it with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Test Operation: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check for any leaks. Operate the new handle to ensure smooth movement and proper water flow.

Operating Instructions

The Moen 94740 Faucet Handle is designed for straightforward operation.

Turning On/Off: Rotate the handle to turn the water flow on or off.
Adjusting Temperature: For single-handle faucets, rotating the handle typically adjusts the water temperature from cold to hot. For two-handle faucets, this handle controls either the hot or cold water supply, depending on its position.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the finish and functionality of your handle kit.

Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap and water if necessary.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
Periodic Check: Periodically check the handle screw for tightness. If the handle feels loose, gently tighten the screw.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Handle is loose	Mounting screw is loose.	Tighten the handle mounting screw.
Water drips from handle base	Internal faucet cartridge issue (not handle related).	Consult a plumber or refer to your faucet's specific manual for cartridge replacement.
