speeds, up to 1,40,0 RPM. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movemenL the floor must
be a perfectly bvel, solid surface.

necessary to level the washer. Extending the
leveling feet more than necessary can cause
the washer to vibrate.

INSTALLATION OF NONoSKID
PADS (OPTIONAL)
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent
the washer from moving on the floor during
heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for
an occasional load to be out of balance, excess
noise and vibration can result from the washer
moving out of position. If these conditions are
encountered_ follow the instructions below for
installation of the nomskid pads. These pads
will help prevent the washer from moving during
heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing
noise and vibration.
