Square D 9998HR3 Replacement Handle Kit Manual Starter

Product Description

The SQUARE D 9998HR3 is a polyester replacement handle kit designed for use with Type MCW Size 1 manual motor starters. This kit restores the manual actuator handle on a starter that has experienced wear, damage, or breakage, allowing the unit to return to proper operation without full replacement of the starter assembly. Electrical contractors and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this part as a direct-fit service component. The polyester construction provides resistance to common shop-floor conditions. At 0.13 pounds, the kit is a compact, single-piece replacement that ships as a quantity of one.

This handle kit is suited for industrial and commercial electrical applications where SQUARE D Type MCW Size 1 manual starters are installed. Typical scenarios include motor branch circuit protection panels, machine control enclosures, and light-duty motor control applications. It is a service-replacement item intended for maintenance use on existing starter installations rather than new-construction wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the disconnect or breaker before removing the existing handle or accessing any starter components, following NFPA 70E arc flash and lockout/tagout procedures. Refer to the original starter documentation for handle removal and reinstallation steps. Do not operate the starter or restore power until the replacement handle is fully seated and secured.
