Remove insulation; locate
9/16 bolt head located on
the outside of the agitator
assembly. If bolt is missing
align the hole in agitator to
the shaft and insert new

Tighten bolt-using wrench. If

assists the removal of bolts.
It can be purchased at
many hardware stores or
car automotive store.
Locate set screws on sprock-
et(s), loosen set screw (one

ets, tighten set screws
before operation.
Relocate power cord to
another electrical outlet. If
additional extension cords
are be used, move machine

use the supplied power cord
which came with the
machine.
