Disassembly:

1. To remove the handle (B), insert a 5/64" Hex wrench into the opening underneath the handle (B) and loosen the handle hex screw (A) by rotating clockwise. Remove the handle (B) by pulling it straight out on off.

2. While holding the handle adapter (D) stationary, use a Phillips screwdriver to unthread the handle screw (C). Slide the handle adapter (D) off.

3. To remove the mounting cup (F), use a 1 1/4" Deep Well Socket Wrench or the tool provided with the trim kit to unthread the escutcheon retainer nut (E). Pull the mounting cup (F) out and off. The escutcheon (G) will pull off from the wall. Note: There may be caulking on the wall around the escutcheon (G) which may cause some resistance.

Assembly:

1. To install the escutcheon (G), position it against the wall with the word "Moen" aligned at the bottom. With the slot on the back of the mounting cup (F) facing up, insert the mounting cup (F) through the escutcheon (G). Use a 1 1/4" Deep Well Socket Wrench or the tool provided with the trim kit, tighten the escutcheon nut (E) until the escutcheon (G) is flush against the wall.

2. To install the handle adapter (D), first ensure the notch on the stem of the cartridge is facing up (See Image 1). Next, position the handle adapter (D) with the rib pointing down (See Image 2). While holding the handle adapter (D) stationary, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the handle screw (C).
