counterweight and the long bolts are used to attach
the bottom counterweight. Insert the bolts into the
slots with the beveled edges outward.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the eight 13-mm
nuts to 142 in. lbs of torque.

Outer Tub Assembly and Suspension
The outer tub assembly is constructed in two halves
and contains the wash basket. The bearing and seal
assembly is part of the rear half of the outer tub. The
outer tub assembly is supported by 2 suspension
springs and 4 dampers. Each spring is located
between the top of the tub assembly and a cabinet
top brace, one on each side. Washer stabilization is
achieved by the use of 4 dampers that are located
between the bottom of the tub assembly and
chassis, 2 per side.
