4.13 Suspension Rods

The suspension rods on AquaSmart

™

need to be more robust than the suspension rods used on

previous EcoSmart

™

machines. The top bracket has lugs to which the straps from the neck ring

attach.

A rubber washer sits midway down the rod, this helps detergent residue from running down the rod
and into the grease filled damper.

IMPORTANT
It is important that these suspension rods are used only for AquaSmart

™

machines.

These rods haven’t been tested on EcoSmart

™

machines, however if they were to be fitted it

is likely that there will be an increased level of noise and vibration on spin.

Conversely, rods from a EcoSmart

™

should not be fitted to AquaSmart

™

There is also an increased chance that the inner bowl may strike against the top deck on
spin up.

The current machines use the suspension rods
on the left.

This new rod provides even greater dampening,
and assists in preventing out of balance loads.
