cartridge and retainer clip were properly installed and tested before leaving the factory. Although it is unlikely,
it is nevertheless possible that through the handling of the valve by any number of persons the retainer clip
may not be properly installed. This should be carefully checked at time of rough-in and trim-out. If the retainer

IMPORTANT:
Pipe chips, sand, stones, and other solids found in new and renovated plumbing can damage the sealing surface of the
cartridge and cause a leak. To avoid damage, DO NOT OPERATE THE VALVE until you have followed these instructions:
1. After installing and connecting the faucet turn the valve on in the full cold position (handle pointing to the right) and turn
on the cold supply for 15 seconds.
2. Without closing the valve turn to the full hot position (handle pointing to the left and turn on the hot supply for 15 seconds.
3. Close the valve, unscrew aerator from the end of the spout and clean the cone screen.
4. Replace aerator.
5. Check the system for leaks.
Maintenance
Your new Moen faucet will give good service for an extended period of time. Should foreign materials in the system affect its
operation, routine repairs can be easily made.
If your faucet drips from the spout end or leaks up through the handle, follow "Disassembly" instructions and replace the
cartridge. If your faucet leaks from either the top or bottom of the spout hub, replace o-rings. Be sure to use only genuine Moen
replacement parts. Re-assemble, following "Reassembly" instructions. For proper water flow, aerator must be free of foreign
particles. If flow is weak or irregular, unscrew aerator, clean and replace.
