Removing the shipping strap is necessary for proper operation. If
the shipping strap is not removed, the washer will make excessive
noise.

final location.
2. The washer must be in the upright position and not tilted
before removing the shipping strap.
3. Locate the yellow shipping strap on the rear of the machine
near the bottom.
4. Pull yellow shipping strap firmly, until both ends are
completely removed from washer.
5. Check that the two (2) cotter pins were removed with the
shipping strap.
Connect Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.
The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside
the washer cabinet.
Remove drain hose from washer cabinet
Gently pull the corrugated drain hose out of the washer from the
top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges.
