Replacing Belts
The belts can be replaced using two dif-
ferent methods. One method is tilting
the washer back and replacing the
belts. The other is by removing the
front panel and using the access hole in
the base frame. The access hole is put
in the base frame in the event the
washer cannot be tilted back.
To change the belts using the access
hole:
1. Remove front panel.
2. Grasp the drive belt at the end that
goes on the motor pulley. Squeeze
this end together. This will form a

Belt Guard
The belt guard is secured to the front
panel by three sheet metal screws
through the long lip of the belt guard
and lower lip at the base of the front
panel.
Attaching the belt guard in this manner
makes it unnecessary to remove it from
the front panel since it will be automat-
ically removed and replaced with the
front panel.
