INSTALLATION
1. Two separate red shipping straps are used
to secure the machine for shipping pur-
poses and to secure the power cord with
the water inlet hoses. Remove the straps
in the following sequence:
A . Locate the metal buckles securing the red
straps which extend through slots in the
rear wall of the cabinet. The buckles are
positioned in the center of the red straps.
Carefully cut the red straps, and remove
the metal buckles. NOTE: Cut the straps
as close to the buckles as possible. Dis-
card the buckles.
B. Grasp each loose strap individually and
pull the strap to remove it from the cabi-
net. Discard the strap (Figure 1-2).
2. Tip washer slightly forward. Loosen rear
leveling leg lock nuts. Tip washer back
slightly to loosen front leveling leg lock
nuts (Figure 1-3).
3. Locate the two (2) ½" hex head shipping
bolts extending up through the bottom of
the base (Figure 1-4). The shipping bolts
are near the center of the base toward the
front of the washer. Remove both bolts,
freeing the tub and suspension. Do not
be alarmed should the tub assembly shift
when the last bolt is removed. Some shift-
ing of the tub is normal.
