CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
* IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the washer. Do
NOT reuse old hoses.
* Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and 116 psi
(100-800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi, a
pressure reducing valve must be installed.
* Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, and
replace the hose if necessary.
* Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched,
crushed, or kinked.
* The washer should never be installed or stored in a location
subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and
internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was
exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to
stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check
for leaks prior to operation.

2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten
another 2/3turn with pliers.
3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each
inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out
of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future
problems with clogged filter screens, and will also
allow you to verify which hose is hot and which
is cold.

4. Attach the (red) hot water line to the hot water inlet on
the back of the washer. Attach the (btue) cotd water line
to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.
NOTE: When installing the hoses onto the water inlet
valves, be careful not to cross-thread the hose fittings. DO
NOT overtighten the hoses; this could cause damage to
internal components, the valve or the hose gasket. Over-
tightening could result in property damage from leaks.
