Maytag Neptune MAH6500AWW Installation Instructions Manual page 3

STEP 1
PREPARE WASHER
1. Cut both lower shipping straps where they wrap around the crate
bottom.
DO NOT BE ALARMED as the tub will jump up when the last
strap is cut.
2. Carefully remove any packaging materials from the outside of the washer. Set aside two corner posts for
installation. IMPORTANT: Notice that the hoses and power cord are tied up with two red upper shipping
straps on the rear of the machine. The upper straps should not be cut or removed until the machine is
ready to be installed.
Lay two corner posts behind the washer and gently tip the washer over on to its back.
3. Remove the crate bottom from the washer by prying the crate retaining clips off
with a flat blade screwdriver. DO NOT remove the crate bottom by applying
force from the top.
4. Pull loose shipping straps from the bottom of the washer
one at a time until all straps have been removed.
5. Loosen the four adjustable washer legs and lock nuts enough to fit a wrench on to the lock nuts. Install
vinyl feet found in installation package. Feet can be more easily installed when immersed in hot water
before installing. Carefully raise the washer back to an upright position.
6. At the installation site, locate the metal buckles attached to the red upper shipping straps at back of washer.
Carefully cut away straps near both buckles, completely removing both buckles from the washer.
