Floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional
parts. See Floor drain under "Tools and Parts."

Connect the Inlet Hoses

The washer must be connected to the water faucets using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old
hoses.
Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in
the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
1. Attach the hose labeled hot to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is
seated on the washer.
2. Attach the hose labeled cold to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it
is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can
result.
Clear the water lines
Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket,
to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
