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 tub support 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
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.

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