Before You Start

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
To prevent floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard
before moving across floor.
Move the washer to within approximately 90 cm of the final
location.

Remove Shipping Strap

Removing the shipping strap is necessary for smooth operation. If
the shipping strap is not removed, the washer will make excessive
noise. The washer must be in the upright position before removing
the shipping strap.
1. Do not cut yellow strap. Pull yellow strap firmly, until
completely removed from washer. There will be two cotter
pins on the end of the shipping strap when it is pulled out of
the washer.
2. Pull firmly to remove the end of the shipping strap that
remains pinned to the back of the washer. This will release the
rear self-leveling feet.
3. Cut the shipping strap about 40 cm from plug end. Look for
the words "CUT HERE." Discard end with the cotter pins. You
will use the remainder of the shipping strap later to secure the
drain hose.
