INSTALLATION OF THE WASHER-EXTRACTOR WITHOUT
PEDESTAL BASE
Anchoring MYR models (Rigid Machines)
A static engineer must be consulted to evaluate the static
requirements with respect to permissible loads, vibrations, and
noise level in the building where the washer is installed.
The manufacturer does not recommend installing the washer
in a room with a cellar underneath or on a floor with rooms
underneath. The washer must be leveled from side to side, as
well as from front to rear. If the washer is not properly leveled,
it may become out of balance even though the drum remains
balanced.
Rigid washers must be anchored to the floor. Correct
construction of the anchorage to the floor is essential to ensure
correct operation of the appliance and to prevent serious
damage to its structure.
Rigid washers must not be installed on non-foundation floors
without authorization from a technician familiar with the structure
and weight-bearing capacity of the building.
Check the weight of the washer and its contents, plus the
dynamic forces generated during spinning. The manufacturer
does not accept responsibility for any damage due to vibration in
this type of installation.
Anchoring MYS models (Soft Machines)
Shipping brackets need to be uninstalled from the soft washers
prior to operation. Remove the toe panel, front panel, and rear
cover to access the shipping bracket. The shipping brackets are
painted white for ease of identification.
Leveling feet are provided with soft machines. Use the feet to
level the machine in it's final operating location. Use the level to
level the top of the washer. Turn the leveling legs to adjust the
setting. Check that the washer does not move front-to-back,
side-to-side, or diagonally when pushed on its top edges. Keep
the legs as short as possible for best performance.
Once the washer is leveled the lock nuts must be tightened up
against the top of the foot bushing with the 17 mm (11/16") open
end wrench. This will keep the setting from changing.
Anchoring is not required but four 12 mm holes are provided if
anchoring is desired.
There is a whisker switch behind the toe panel, located below
the tub and to the left of the drain. This switch is set at the
factory, but in the event that it falls out of adjustment, with the
shipping brackets installed, this switch should be set so the
whisker is centered in the opening.
