Transport bolts that are not removed can damage the drum during operation of the machine, the washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not removed before use.
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts completely before first use. Keep the transport bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it must be installed first, prior to removing the transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal installation instructions.

Lock covers firmly by pressing on the snap hook. Insert hose holder. Secure hoses in the hose holders.
NOTICE: Keep the assemblies together and store them for later use such as when moving the washer.
