INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the unit is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of the final location.

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

1= Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

2.Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.

3.Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.

4.Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. To prevent suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

7.Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
