The following is a compilation of findings and advice that hopefully will help to address
many of the issues facing the field currently with the new 27" Neptune Washers.
Vibration/Walking:
1. Level the washer or Riser and
tighten the rear leveling leg-l
nuts. Open the washer and place a
1 to 1-1/2 lb. weight (Use a bath
towel or a pair of jeans) inside th
washer.

e
Place a 3"X 5" (or similar sized piece of
paper) under each of the front legs. Put
the washer into the Spin cycle. As the
washer increases in speed try to slide
the papers out from under the legs. If
one of the pieces of paper slides out
from under one of the legs, lower this
leg slightly until the paper can not be
removed and repeat the test. Tighten
the leveling leg-locking nut up against
the bottom of the washer or Riser and
tighten the locking nut on the other leg.
Remove the paper from underneath
both legs.
