leveling legs are firmlg touching the floor. Push and
pull on the back right and then back left of gour washer.

With the washer in its final position, place a level
on top of the washer

under a counter,
the washer should not

solid. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up towards
the base of the washer and snug with a wrench.

excessivevibration. The farther out the legs are extended,
the more the washer will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, gou mag have
