WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.

SECTION III
Adjustments
31. LEVELING LEGS (Refer to
Figure 49)
a. Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.
b. Place washer in position on a clean, dry, and
reasonably firm floor.
c. Loosen locknuts and adjust two front leveling
legs. Once adjusted, tilt washer forward on
front legs and lower back down into position to
set rear self-leveling legs.
d. Washer must not rock. After washer is at
desired height, tighten locknuts securely
against bottom of washer base. If these
locknuts are not tight, washer will not remain
stationary during operation.
e. Install rear extension leg kit, No. 566P3,
(optional equipment at extra cost) to raise
height of washer.
NOTE: Washer should be installed on a
reasonably firm floor. Flexing of a weak floor may
cause excessive vibration. Vibration can also be
caused if washer is installed on carpeting or a
cushioned vinyl floor.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT move washer at any time
unless locknuts are securely tightened and
shipping brace is in place over agitator (to
prevent damage to washer components). DO NOT
slide washer across floor once leveling legs have
been extended, as legs and washer base could
become damaged.
