Installation Instructions - Whirlpool Duet Sport WFW8300SW Instruction Manual

REMOVE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the
rear of the unit is within approximately 3 ft
(90 cm) of the final location.
There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the
washer that support the suspension system
during transportation. These bolts also retain
the power cord inside the washer until the
bolts are removed.
1. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of
the bolts.
2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the cen-
ter of the hole and completely pull out the
bolt, including the plastic spacer covering
the bolt.
3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the
bolts and spacers. Then pull the power
cord through the opening of the rear pan-
el and close the hole with the attached
cap.

To avoid suspension and structural damage,
your machine must be properly set up for re-
location by a certified technician.
