hoses if you find bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear or leaking.
Replace inlet hoses after
five years of use.
If drain hose does
not fit into standpipe
or is being placed over
the edge of a laundry
tub,
open other hose
clamp with pliers and
place clamp over rigid
end of drain hose.
Insert end of hose
extension into rigid end of drain hose up
to stops on the sides of hose extension.
