CONNECT INLET HOSES

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet
hoses with at washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water owing
to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water
faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided).

Connect inlet hoses to water faucets
Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an
additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose
for cold water faucet.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on
valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
