washer. You will drain this in a later step.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record
hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the remaining water inlet port.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
