BASE ASSEMBLY
The base assembly, which serves as a support
for the entire wash unit, is constructed of
heavy gauge metal that has been flanged and
embossed for strength.
There is a spherical configuration on the lower
end of the brake/transmission/tub assembly.
This spherical shape rides on the raised dome­
like area in the center of the base. The mount­
ing is similar to a ball joint and allows the hous­
ing to move freely in all directions
(Figure 4-21).
The base assembly also provides mounting for
the pump assembly, motor and plate assem­
bly, suspension springs, front panel clips, and
the stabilizer assembly.
The cabinet is secured to the base with screws
and positioned foam pads to prevent vibra­
tion or noise transfer. The cabinet does not
support any of the wash unit's weight.

2. Tip unit back and remove the drive belt.

cabinet rear and disconnect the discharge
hose from the pump outlet.
