Leveling Washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the washer.
1. For free standing installation and with the
washer within 4 feet (1 m) of its final location,
place a level on top of the washer.
2. Use the universal wrench to adjust the leveling
legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and
side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.
3. Press down on alternate corners and sides
and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust
the appropriate leg(s) so the washer sits solidly
on the floor on ALL four legs.
Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum
for best performance of the washer.
Connecting Inlet Water
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets
to flush the water lines and remove particles
that might clog the water valve screens and to
determine which faucet is hot and which is
cold supply.
2. Look in the end of each water supply inlet
hose and verify that the rubber washers are in
place.
3. Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT water
supply and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD
water supply. Tighten by hand until snug.
4. Tighten each supply connection another 2/3
turn with pliers.
5. Turn on the water and check for leaks.
