Unpacking And Removing Shipping Bolts - Kenmore 4885 - Rear Control High Efficiency 3.6 cu. Ft. Capacity Front Load Washer Use & Care Manual And Installation Instructions

UNPACKING AND REMOVING SHIPPING BOLTS
When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure
to remove the foam tub support in the middle of the carton
base. See drawing below.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the base
packaging materials, always protect the side of the
washer and lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay
the washer on its front or back.
To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer
is equipped with 4 shipping bolts and plastic retainers.
IMPORTANT:
• These shipping bolts and retainers MUST NOT be
removed until just before moving the washer into its
final position.
• These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before
operating the washer.
• Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may
cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to
permanent damage to the washer.
NOTE: The cord is secured to the back of the washer with
a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping
bolts in place.
