A. Cold water inlet valve

B. Hot water inlet valve

3.Attach second hose to top inlet. Tighten couplings by hand; then use pliers to make an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Inlet valve threads are plastic. Do not strip or cross-thread.

Connect the drain hose

NOTE: Slide washer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving across floor.

1.Move washer close to final position.

2.Put “hook” end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.

3.Estimate the length of drain hose needed when washer is in final position. Hose must be cut exactly to length so “hook” end is held tightly over edge of standpipe.

If drain hose is too long, cut straight end of hose. (Do not cut the “hook” shaped end of the drain hose.)

NOTE: Do not force excess length of drain hose down the standpipe. This could cause siphoning.

4. Place the hose clamp over the washer drain connector. Push the drain hose onto the washer connector. Use pliers to open clamp and slide clamp over drain hose. Check for good fit.

5.Measure and mark a point approximately 406 mm (16")

from the plug end of the shipping strap. Cut shipping strap at this point.

406 mm (16")

6.Check that hose is not twisted or kinked and is securely in place.

Put “hook” end of drain hose into standpipe. Tightly wrap the shipping strap around the standpipe. Push plug into the nearest hole in the shipping strap.

Connect the inlet hoses to the water taps

1.Before attaching water inlet hoses to the water taps, run water through both taps into a bucket. This will get rid of particles in water lines that might clog hoses. Mark which is the hot water tap.

2.Install a black plastic tap adapter on each inlet hose.

3.Attach bottom hose (inlet marked “H”) to hot water taps. Tighten coupling to taps by hand.

4.Attach top hose (inlet marked “C”) to cold water taps. Tighten coupling to taps by hand.

5.Use pliers to make an additional two-thirds turn to each coupling.

1.Stack two corner posts on top of each other. Tilt washer backward and insert corner posts 76 mm (3") in from one side of washer as shown. Repeat with other corner posts on other side of washer.

2.Use the leveling legs and nuts from parts package. Screw nut down to within 13 mm (1/2") from base.
