When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure 

to remove the foam drum support in the middle of the 

carton base. See drawing below.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the base 

packaging materials, always protect the side of the 

washer and lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay the 

washer on its front or back.
To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer 

is equipped with four shipping bolts and plastic retainers.
IMPORTANT:
• These shipping bolts and retainers MUST NOT be 

removed until just before moving the washer into its 

final position.

• These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before 

operating the washer.

• 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.

1. Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the 

wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping 

bolts by turning them counterclockwise.

2. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them 

slightly while pulling.

3. Locate the four hole caps included in the accessory 

pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.

NOTE: Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent

damage to internal components, DO NOT transport the 

washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts.
