WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard

washer/dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
To avoid floor damage, set washer/dryer onto cardboard before
moving across floor. Move washer/dryer close to its final location.

completely removed from washer/dryer. There should be
2 cotter pins on the end of the shipping strap. Remove the
hang tag and pin from the vent pipe.
2. Tilt the washer/dryer forward. Move each of the 2 rear legs in
an up-down motion to check the self-adjusting leveling legs
for free movement. This is required for proper leveling. Gently
lower the washer/dryer to the floor.

Look for the words "CUT HERE." Discard end with cotter pins.
You will use the remaining piece of shipping strap to secure
the drain hose.
