PUMP MOTOR
A separate pump/pump motor is used to drain
the wash tub.
The pump motor is 120 VAC and is attached
directly to the pump. The pump has a cleanout
filter located at the front that allows for the
removal of large objects that may have passed
from the basket.
ECO VALVE
The washer has a specially designed floating
(ball) valve that closes during the wash portion
of the cycle so that 100% of the water and
detergent mixture is used on the wash load.
The Eco Valve insures that no water or deter-
gent is wasted.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The wash tub is held in position with four shock
absorbers attached to the bottom four corners
of the tub assembly. In addition, the wash tub
is suspended from the top frame of the washer
with two springs attached to the sides of the
unit.
Stability for this suspension system is provided
by three concrete counter weights. Two are
located at the front of the wash tub. One is
positioned at the back of the tub. These counter
weights eliminate the need for the traditional
balance ring.
