Unpacking Shipping Material

*Some models do not ship with drum support.

Lift the washer off the foam base.

After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the washer off the foam base.
Make sure the plastic drum support a* comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the washer.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the carton base b, always protect the side of the washer and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the washer on its front or back.

Remove the bolt assemblies.
- Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts c , use the included wrench to fully loosen all 4 shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
- Remove the bolt assemblies (bolts and retainers) by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out.
Note
- All 4 bolt assemblies must be completely removed from the unit to avoid product damage.
- Make sure to remove the entire bolt assembly, including:
  metal bolt and washer
  rubber damper
  plastic rod
- If reinstalling bolt assemblies for shipping, install the 2 short ones at the top, the long one without a hook at the bottom left, and the long one with a hook at the bottom right.
Install the hole caps.
- Locate the hole caps d included in the accessory pack or attached to the back of the washer. Install the caps in the holes left by the bolt assemblies.

Caution

Once removed, save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, do not transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts. Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer.

Note

The power cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.
