When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure to
remove the foam tub support in the middle of the carton
base. See drawing below.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the base
packaging materials, always protect the side of the washer
and lay it carefully on its side.
DO NOT lay the washer on its
front or back.
To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer is
equipped with 4 shipping bolts and plastic retainers.
IMPORTANT:
• These shipping bolts and retainers MUST NOT be
removed until just before moving the washer into its final
position.
•These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before
operating the washer.
• Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause
severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent
damage to the washer.
NOTE: The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a
shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in
place.
