2. 3/8 in. socket with ratchet.
3. 3/8 in. open end wrench.
4. 7/16 in. socket with ratchet.
5. 9/16 in. open end wrench.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded
15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2 wire, with ground, 120 volt, single
phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. NOTE: The use of
this washer with power created by gas powered
generators, solar powered generators, wind powered
generators or any other generator other than the local
utility company is not recommended.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - Properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is
accessible when the washer is in an installed position.
NOTE: GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not
required.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
1.
The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2.
Since your washer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged
into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a
licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the
grounding prong on the power supply cord. In
situations where a two-slot receptacle is present,
it is the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed
electrician replace it with a properly grounded
three prong grounding type receptacle.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The
faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type
so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST
be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch
(maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.)
Your water department can advise you of your water
pressure. The hot water temperature should be about
140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
1.
Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per
minute.
2.
A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18 cm)
minimum.
3.
The standpipe height above the floor should be:
Minimum height:
24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height:
96 in. (244 cm)
NOTE:
Drain hose attached to the washer can reach a 58
in. (147 cm) high standpipe. For higher standpipe
use hose P/N 131461201, available from an
authorized parts distributor. If drain is less than
24 in. (61 cm), install a siphon break kit, available
at your local hardware store.
Max.
