during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not
removed before use.
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts
completely before first use. Keep the transport
bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it
must be installed first, prior to removing the
transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal
installation instructions.
In order to prevent transport damage during later
▯
transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before
transport.
Remove hoses from the brackets.
