WASHER REQUIREMENTS
Water pressure of 20 to 120 p.s.i. is required to correctly fill the washer to the proper levels.
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommended height of the stand pipe is 36 inches. If the stand pipe is less than 36 inches high, the drain
hose should be routed through the clip to raise the hose to the proper height. Stand pipe must be large
enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.
Without the 36 inches high elevation, water may run out of the washer prematurely.
Should the washer
fill and drain at the same time could indicate that the drain hose has not been elevated to the proper height.
The drain hose is attached at the factory.
Maximum flow rate is 12 gallons per minute.
FLOORING
For best performance the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to
be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never
install the washer on a platform or weak supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommended the washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will
always maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,
pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
